El Balcon del Horreo is a countryside holiday home in Piloña, Spain, set at Lg. San Roman de Villa 0037, a location that suits travellers who want quiet surroundings while still reaching major Asturian highlights. With a guest rating of 8.7/10 from 6 reviews, it’s been positively noted for feeling comfortable and lived-in, with visitors appreciating the practical layout for time together. The property is non-smoking throughout, which helps keep the stay fresh, and it also welcomes pets, so families or groups travelling with dogs can plan without leaving companions behind. Inside, you’ll have three bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen, a combination that tends to work well for longer stays and for guests who prefer cooking rather than eating out every night.
