Balcón del Angliru, Riosa

Balcón del Angliru is a 3-star hotel in Riosa, Spain, set at Lugar Fresneo s/n, where the countryside feel is part of the stay rather than an afterthought. Guests typically describe it as quiet and easy to unwind in, with a garden setting that makes mornings and evenings feel slower. The highlight for many visitors is starting the day with free buffet breakfast, and reviews often mention that the simple, filling spread sets them up for hikes in the surrounding hills. Free WiFi and free self parking also come up repeatedly in guest feedback because they make it straightforward to plan day trips without extra hassle.

If you’re looking for a base for the outdoors, the hotel’s proximity to Pico del Angliru is a key draw, with the climb area about 5 km away.
