The Stone House, Gijón

The Stone House is a calm, garden-led stay in Gijón, Spain, set on Barcena Campo, 15 where the atmosphere feels distinctly residential rather than touristy. With a guest rating of 9.7/10 from just six reviews, visitors consistently describe it as quiet and restorative, with many highlighting the peaceful grounds and the ease of switching from city sightseeing to downtime. The Japanese garden and terrace are the kind of spaces people actually use: mornings with a slow coffee, afternoons reading outdoors, and evenings when you want a change of pace from the beach. Non-smoking rooms and non-smoking throughout help keep the whole property feeling fresh, especially for travelers sensitive to strong odors.

For getting out and about, Playa de San Lorenzo is about 6 km away, giving you a straightforward route to Gijón’s best-known shoreline. If you’re interested in views and coastal history, Cerro de Santa Catalina is roughly 8 km from the hotel, and the Museo Evaristo Valle sits around 7 km away for a culture break. Nature lovers can also plan a day trip toward Picos de Europa National Park, about 70 km away, using the hotel as a comfortable base between longer drives.

The Stone House is best for couples and small families who want a serene setting with outdoor space, plus practical touches like discounted offsite parking and covered parking for smoother arrivals. Check-in runs from 4:00 PM to midnight, and check-out is at 11:00 AM, so it suits travelers who prefer a relaxed schedule rather than early-morning departures.
