El Cantiellu, Zardón Overview
El Cantiellu is located in Zardón, Spain. Rated 8.6 out of 10 based on 15 guest reviews.
El Cantiellu is a countryside stay in Zardón, Spain, set at Santianes de ola 6, where the pace slows and the landscape does the entertaining. Guests mention a calm, home-like atmosphere and appreciate the practical setup for longer stays, with space to spread out and settle in after time on the trails. The terrace and garden are the natural focal points, giving you somewhere to breathe between hikes and plan the next drive. Inside, heating helps take the edge off cooler weather, and the non-smoking approach keeps the property comfortable for everyone. Families and groups tend to like the layout and the ability to stay together, while pet owners value that pets are allowed and parking is free. For outdoor meals, the BBQ facilities and outdoor dining options make it easy to keep plans flexible without needing to coordinate every meal outside. Reviews also point to the convenience of having free parking on-site, which matters in rural Asturias where getting around usually means driving. If you’re looking for nearby sights, Cangas de Onís is about 40 km away for its historic center and the Roman bridge, and the Picos de Europa foothills are roughly 25 km from the property for walking routes and scenic countryside drives. Road-trippers will find the surrounding area well suited to day trips, and hikers can build their itinerary around the local trails and viewpoints. Best for families and pet-friendly travelers who want quiet rural comfort with easy parking and outdoor space, rather than a busy town base.

Should You Book El Cantiellu?
Worth booking if you want a calm, home-like countryside base with free parking and good access to hiking in the Picos de Europa/Sueve area. The 8.6/10 guest rating from 15 reviews suggests a consistently positive stay, especially for longer, slower-paced trips.
Best For
- Hikers and nature lovers wanting easy access to Picos de Europa countryside trails (25 km) and Sierra del Sueve hiking routes (35 km)
- Travelers on longer stays who value a practical, space-to-spread-out setup and a settled, home-like atmosphere
- Families traveling with children who want a countryside setting plus family rooms
- Pet owners who prefer a countryside stay that explicitly allows pets and offers free on-site parking
Not Ideal For
- Travelers seeking a highly walkable, central town experience, since the property is in the countryside rather than in Cangas de Onís itself
- Those who need frequent flight options or shorter transfers, given Asturias Airport is 55 km away and the other listed airports are farther (Santander 140 km, Bilbao 180 km)
- Light sleepers who are sensitive to any countryside quiet being interrupted by occasional outdoor activity, since the stay includes a terrace and BBQ facilities (potential for noise varies by guest use)
