David and his family gave a lovely friendly service. The room was clean as was the bathroom. A nice pilgrams dinner and the normal basic breakfast.

They shuttle you from Peon and back the next morning.

This was a wonderful Albergue. David and his mom were very good hosts. The accommodations was clean and nice. I opted for a private room in an albergue that was amazing. The dinner was so much food and was good. Carne and potato and soup and salad. Highly recommend this albergue

I stayed at Peon because I did not want to walk the whole way to Gigon. You meet the owner David at the bar in town and are transported to a cute farmhouse with lots of rooms and character. The communal meals were delicious. In the morning you are transported back to the Norte or if you chose you can walk towards Oviedo to start the Primitivo. Well worth the stop.

If you're reading this, you will likely end up staying in Peón because going from Villaviciosa to Gijón is too long/challenging of a day. I was the same. I will start with the positives: all of my interactions with David were fine. He is kind enough, if not rather matter-of-fact to the point of seeming a bit abrupt. The dinner we had was EASILY the best of any albergue dinner on the Norte so far. The laundry was 6€ to wash and dry. The blue plastic mattresses that most of the albergues have seemed brand new here and were way firmer than the others I've slept on along the way. Now for the negatives. The shower was just ok and my bunk bed was aggressively squeaky. The dormitories are large and almost surely unheated, meaning that the night was chilly and I was a bit cold. EASILY the worst part, though, and the reason I wouldn't recommend this albergue was the attitude of the woman who I think is David's mother. She was horrid from start to finish. She decided from our very first interaction to dislike me and made no attempts to remain professional or civil. She was extremely rude to me the following morning and made a snarky comment about me to another pilgrim in Spanish, wrongly assuming I wouldn't understand her. She then drove my walking buddies and I back to the bar in a manner that I would describe as unsafe. She completely ruined the stay for us.

For this albergue, made your reservation via WhatsApp with David: ‪+34 616 07 67 72‬
He has a van and picks pilgrims up from the bar in Peon, Casa Pepito. He drops them back off there after breakfast.

There is a tasty communal dinner and breakfast. The space is so clean; the building used to be a banquet hall! It’s been in the family for generations. We had a wonderful evening playing guitar next to the log fire in their sitting room. I recommend it!

Stayed here May 2024. WhatsApp the owner once you get to the village church and he’ll pick you up. Superior accommodation, ultra clean. Best place I’ve stayed. Rainy evening so cosy log fire lit. Dinner excellent and plenty of it. After breakfast you’ll be driven back to Camino trail a 6 or 7 minute drive.

Excellent place to stay, warm friendly atmosphere. Quality of accommodation and meals was one of the best.
They couldn't do enough to make your stay a good one.
Don't be put off by the free taxi to the Albergue
