Albergue Peon

Wonderful family, this place was a restaurant since 1930, it feels like staying with relatives, David, Daniel and their mum are looking after you like you are their siblings or children, one of the most authentic experiences on my Camino. I took a private room. Muchas gracias a la familia !

Lovely stay

I was picked up at Casa Pepito and taken to the albergue. Everything was great and I enjoyed the evening meal very much.

The hospitality at this Albergue was exceptional. David, the host, and his mother were outstanding in their hospitality. The environment was clean and the facilities of good quality. The Pilgrim’s dinner was delicious and great value at 12€. Those that chose the private rooms were very happy with their choice. David picked us up from the local cafe and dropped us back the next morning. Highly recommended.

Perfect after a hard day

Nothing but good to say about this refuge with great history. The hospitaleros were very kind, everything clean, and a dinner like the ones my mother used to make. The hospitalera was concerned because I hadn't had breakfast. I assured her that I never have breakfast. Thank you David, and David's mom.

Very special place!

Outstanding afternoon and evening at this beautiful albergue, the valley home built by the hospitalero’s grandparents in 1930. The family has been welcoming pilgrims for years, and a warm spirit radiates from every corner. We enjoyed a beer and sidra on the sunny patio,
then moved to the cozy fire in the living room as the evening air settled. Comfortable beds, delicious dinner and breakfast with homemade jam, comfortable beds, spotless bathrooms, all with the oeregrino in mind.

Albergue Peon recommended

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.

Albergue Peón

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

Casa Pepito Peón

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.

A mixed review

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!

Albergue Peon

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

Albergue Peon

I’m not sure why there is no Albergue icon for Peon. I can strongly recommend the Albergue. As many others mentioned, David runs a wonderful, pilgrim-friendly place. We felt very well taken care of. Wonderful dinner and great sleep! It would be great if this app would add his address and his WhatsApp number to make it easier for pilgrims to contact him.

Albergue Peón

Me gustó mucho mi estancia en este albergue que está un poco alejado del Camino (3 km). 1. El dueño ofrece un servicio de transporte gratuito desde el restaurante Casa Pepito en Peón a su albergue. 2. Oliva, su madre, me hizo una comida vegetariana deliciosa. 3. Hubo un fuego riquísimo en la chimenea del salón! Muchas gracias Dawid y Oliva!
