Somonte, Quintes

Somonte is a 2-star hotel in Quintes, Spain, set in Barrio Santana on Camino del Moreno 111, a practical base for exploring Asturias at a relaxed pace. With a guest rating of 9.4/10 from 11 reviews, visitors consistently highlight the calm, welcoming feel and the ease of settling in after a day on the road. The property suits travelers who want simple comfort rather than fuss, including families, road-trippers, and couples who like to mix beach time with countryside drives.

Rooms are non-smoking, and the hotel’s family rooms and room service make it easier to keep plans flexible when you’re traveling with children. For downtime, the hot tub/Jacuzzi and sauna are a popular way to unwind, especially after coastal walks around Gijón and the nearby headlands. The terrace and BBQ facilities also give groups a place to linger outdoors, while the tour desk helps guests shape day trips without having to plan every detail alone.

From Somonte, you can reach Playa de San Lorenzo in about 14 km for a classic Gijón beach day, and Cabo de Peñas is roughly 20 km away for dramatic Atlantic scenery. If you prefer a cultural stop, the Roman Baths of Campo Valdés in Gijón are around 14 km, and the Jardín Botánico Atlántico is about 11 km for a slower, garden-focused outing.

Parking is free, and offsite parking with discounted rates is available, which is a big plus for drivers. Check-in runs from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, so it’s best to plan arrivals within that window.
