Guest Reviews
- Tessa (9/5): this is an exceptional B&B with a wonderful host, also outstanding food - including dinners on request - wonderful views and location near top hikes parking and access challenging in a regular car
- Christian (10/5): Romantische Unterkunft mit hervorragender Lage. Tolle Atmosphäre mit toller Aussicht! - Die einzigartige Lage. Sehr geschmackvolles und tolles Ambiente. Das vorzügliche Frühstück und die wunderbare Gastgeberin. Etwas hellhörig…
- Tammy (10/5): Amazing Stay, Amazing Views! - We couldn't believe this property- it's hard to put into words how amazing this experience was. First of all, the scenery and views were just beyond. The photos are stunning but it's even better in real life! Jhousy did such a spectacular job on Casa Maru (it might be the most pristine, immaculate property that I have ever stayed at), and was an absolute gem to chat with. She made us a gorgeous breakfast each morning and gave us the best recommendations on hikes and sightseeing nearby. We did the lower hike to Bulnes and also drove to Sotres. Cannot recommend this place enough! Nothing - we loved EVERYTHING
- Elena (10/5): Impresionantes vistas. - La casa muy limpia y la dueña INMEJORABLE!!, nos trató fenomenal. Nada
- Andrea (10/5): -
- Denis (10/5): Great getaway location for avid hikers - Location, exceptional host Parking proved a challenge.
- Leonardo (10/5): Great place to stay. - Great location and views. Host was very nice.
The entire experience was great!!!
- Arabie (10/5): We didn’t want to leave - This property was beyond our expectation. The view was absolutely stunning, and the staff was absolutely wonderful.
- Mary (10/5): - Beautifully maintained home with scenic view in quiet location, excellent host Jhousy & her assistant Carmen Nothing
- Flechoso (10/5): Repetiría una y mil veces - Todo excepcional No había nada que no me gustara, me gustó todo de todo, hasta el más mínimo detalle estaba todo impresionante
- BRETT (10/5): Perfect. - Unique Location - Beautiful and Classy decor - Incredible Host Zero - We loved it all
- Marc (10/5): - The perfect get away. Everything was perfect. The place, the views, the host. it was a perfect stay.
- Inês (9/5): - Experiência incrível, vista inacreditável, tudo super limpo e organizado e a atenção ao pormenor estava em cada detalhe. Os pequenos almoços no terraço foram surrealistas. Recomendo muito!
- madelon (10/5): Fantastisch - Hele mooie locatie, van alle gemakken voorzien, mooi uitzicht en superschoon. Hele lieve eigenaresse en erg behulpzaam met alles. De toegangelijkheid met de auto is een uitdaging, maar het is echt de moeite waard.
- Lyn (10/5): - Wonderful location high up away from the tourists in valley. Fantastic breakfast. Dinner good but expensive but great view. There is a cheaper restaurant 5 mins walk away but food very average. Host great at communication and attention to detail. We loved our stay here
- Bas (10/5): -
- Luwito (9/5): Rustic location, modern amenities, out of this world views - Amazing and unique location. The house is so pretty and the view from the terrace where we have breakfast at is just stunning. The location is very handy for walks to Bulnes and the Ruta del Cares. And it is so nice to be able to stay in rustic location but with proper high pressure hot water. Not much. It would be nice to have a couple more pillows
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kayla (10/5): A magical place to experience the Picos de Europa - My husband and I stayed at Casa Maru in late May and this picturesque B&B was the highlight of our trip! Jhousy is kind and helpful ... and her hospitality is off the charts. Breakfasts are absolute perfection (make sure you have at least one dinner there as well). This is the perfect location to base your adventures, or even to simply get off the grid to relax in nature.
- Tony (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adam (10/5): Amazing stay overlooking the picos. - We had an amazing stay at Casa Maru for 2 nights. The host Jhousy was great - she was very kind, made us feel very welcome, cooked a delicious dinner for us and gave us really great recommendations for walks/ activities/ food. Breakfast (again prepared by Jhousy) was also great - by far the best we had on our trip. The attention to detail and effort put in to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible was also very obvious. The house itself is in an incredible location with incredible views over the Picos and we had the pleasure of watching vultures and eagles flying over the adjacent valley while having breakfast. I couldn't recommend highly enough. The drive up does involve lots of hairpin bends and is very steep so not for the faint-hearted but was completely worth it.
- Hey (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible views, food and host.
We had problems with our car and were given so much help from our host including a lift into a nearby town and over 20 mins on the phone to our rental company as I don't speak Spanish.
This is a unique place to stay and in prime position if you want to do the gorge walk.
- Armei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Valeria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional - There are two things that make this place wonderful: Josie and the location of Casa Maru. Josie is such a warm, kind, interesting person, and her breakfasts are beyond spectacular. This was really one of the best breakfasts I have had anywhere. Josie was just such a delight to talk to as well.
The house itself is in a tiny village up the hill from where all the tourists are. When the weather is clear, there are perfect views of the mountains. Waking up the next day I was in awe at how amazingl the views were.
I am so glad we stayed here. This was really one of the best decisions of our trip. I. can't think of anything. I wasn't a huge fan of the restaurant in the village, but that has nothing to do with Casa Maru.
- Isabel (10/5): Magical stay in a beautiful mountain retreat - Casa Maru was a wonderful experience. Beautiful home, probably the loveliest, most attentive host in all of Booking.com, majestic surroundings - truly heavenly. We loved the property! Visitors should just be aware that the road to get up there is quite steep and all hairpin turns which can be intimidating at first.
- Jennifer (10/5): Great location in Picos. Beautiful property, gorgeous views, great owner communications. -
- Lillian (10/5): Incredible, one of a kind b&b with amazing host and location! - This was one of the best b&b experiences we have ever had! Josie is an amazing host and her property is truly dreamy. Pictures don't do the location justice - it is nestled high up into the craggy mountainside with absolutely jaw dropping views from the rooms and terrace. Breakfast was incredible and so was the location- 1.5 km from the start of la ruta del cares and the trail to Bulnes (we did both) and also close to restaurants and a little town. Josie's recommendations were excellent and she was generous and kind. I wish we had had more than 3 nights there to hike more.
- Mary (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. Josie, our host, was very accommodating and went out of her way to help us with information on things to do.
- Zoe (10/5): Exceptional - The location and mountain scenery were spectacular; the room was beautiful, the breakfasts and evening meal were exceptional and the host was very helpful. We had an absolutely perfect stay.
- Paul (9/5): Perhhaps our favorite place we stayed. Can't oversell waking up to that view everyday! - Everything. Location is amazing. House is amazing. Owner is super helpful and communicative. We rented out the whole place, so had it to our selves. Would recommend this. Stove ran out of gas, but was quickly replaced. Power went out on the last night due to a big storm, but we got it back on first thing in the morning. I think its critical to say how little these things impacted how much we enjoyed staying here.
- Elena (10/5): Amazing property with stunning view and exquisite host! - This property exceeded our expectations! Pictures just do not do it justice! The place is amazing, you have all comforts - Smart TV, dishwasher, sleepers, bathrobes, dryer, beauty/cleaning kits, cleaning supplies, etc.! - and it is tastefully decorated. The house gets cleaned every day, if you want! The outside area is just ideal to relax and enjoy the view, and what a view!! The location is stunning, with the star of the Picos, the Naranjo de Bulnes, staring right in your face! You see the birds flying on top of the picks, you see the lights from Bulnes at night. Just incredible! On top of all of this, its host is the BEST! She is so nice, she helped us with our car, she welcomed us with water in the fridge and everything for breakfast (home made marmalade and locally produced honey!). She really knows the area and she is more than willing to give tips and advices!
This property is ideal if you want to explore the Cabrales municipality, la Funicular del Bulnes o la Ruta del Cares. Nothing at all. Just keep in mind that to reach the property you'll have to drive on a mountain road, but it is very well maintained and wide enough. The place is worth the effort anyway!
- Jaap (10/5): Great views and a very nice house - Beautiful place in a quiet small town uphill with great views on the Picos. The house is very nice, with a lot of attention for details and a nice terrace that we enjoyed a lot. Also the owners gave very useful information on hikes and restaurants, and they provided for nice ingredients to have a good breakfast. Only thing to mention is that you need to manage a couple of steep and tight hairpin turns to reach the house by car. We had some difficulty in managing those, maybe due to the rental car, my driving skills or the combination of both. However, it was definitely worth the effort!
- Adam (10/5): Loved it all! Even walking up/down the hill to get to food and the hikes. - Beautiful house and views. So clean and comfortable. My favorite place I’ve ever stayed. n/a
- Martin (10/5): Nice Apartment with stunning view - Very nice and fully equipped Apartment with a stunning view. The host was very friendly and gave a lot of advises. I can fully recommend the place and we would come back Nothing
- Laurie (10/5): Exceptional - Easily the best location of a hotel I have ever stayed. Lovely host and the breakfast was exceptional. Clean, and beautiful inside. Literally no flaws to this hotel
- Marjorie (10/5): Best view in area. Never tired of it. Easy access to trails - The view alone is worth staying here. Best in entire area. Nice feature, we were supplied with milk, bread, cake, fruit, butter. Added to our stay. Plan to cook in, since road could be dangerous at night. Quiet except for goats looking in windows. Fantastic patio. Would stay there again. Highly recommend. Flies were a bother. Needs real coffee maker, instant is just not acceptable for a place of this quality. Rented entire house, but was not able to pick bedroom. They selected one for us. Not how it is usually done. Bbq would be nice for patio.
- Jenna (10/5): We had an amazing stay at Casa Mary. The drive up was steep, but the views and hospitality make it more than worth it. C -
- David (8/5): A wonderful place to see the Picos de Europa - This was a small hotel with only two bedrooms. The owner/host, Jhousi, was very friendly and provided a wealth of information about things to do (we chose to do a spectacular mountain walk, La Garganta del Cares, there and back - 24km) and a wonderful breakfast. The views from our room and outside Casa Maru were spectacular, with a viewpoint of the Picos de Europa just a stone's throw from our door. We thought we had agreed a 4pm entry, but had to wait until 6pm. We drove up, unaware of what a tortuous and tricky drive it would be up from Poncebos to Camarmeña (much single-track with 11 hairpin bends) and had difficulty finding parking at the top of the hill to unload our luggage. Also, we were not keen to move our car once we arrived and options for an evening meal were limited to one small bar (Bar La Fuentina) run by an elderly couple.
- Susan (10/5): Perfect! - This beautiful Casa is stunning throughout, renovated to a very high standard. Jhousy greeted us so warmly and made us feel instantly welcome. The views from the property are priceless and I’ll never forget breakfast sitting outside; possibly our best breakfast experience ever! The Casa is perfectly located for several incredible walks. It ticked all the boxes! Nothing
- Matthew (10/5): Beautiful spot and lovely place to stay - Fantastic breakfast on the terrace with a great hostess
- Anna-luisa (10/5): Exceptional - Wow, no words to describe what an incredible place this is! The best view and breakfast you will have in your life, in a truly one-of-a-kind location full of sweet details like beautiful flowers and other treats in the house to make the trip extra special. Johsi is the sweetest host and an incredible woman - she speaks great Spanish and English, and helped us park our manual car when we were struggling to get up the help. We felt right at home with her kindness and all of the cozy details. Regret not staying longer, but for sure will be planning a trip just to come back to such a wonderful, relaxing, heart-warming place!
- Angela (10/5): We had a wonderful stay! - A beautiful location! The view from the rooms was spectacular. We felt instantly at home, the breakfast was beautifully presented and delicious.
- Van (9/5): Superb -
- Andrea (10/5): A magical adventure - Our stay at Casa Maru was magical and one we’ll never forget. The beautifully designed home, remote location (but with mobile and wifi!), breathtaking views of the Picos de Europa, and close proximity to the legendary Cares Trailhead were perfect for a couple like us who love hiking, but seek luxury when off the trail. In addition to the stellar location, the host’s warmth, hospitality, and culinary expertise were above and beyond our expectations. She greeted us like old friends, made us feel right at home, and also gave us privacy to enjoy our solitude. When we get the opportunity to visit Casa Maru again, we will undoubtedly book a longer stay. It truly is a hidden gem.
- Lorna (9/5): A beautiful house in a stunning location. Breakfast with that view simply cannot be beaten - The location & views were spectacular. The peace & quiet. Accessible parking. Near attractions & small town I do think the listing is misleading. A hot tub is listed but there is no hot tub. A spa bath & also a bath are listed. There is simply 1 spa bath. It could be a translation issue where hot tub is being used to mean bath, but spa bath & bath are also listed. Certainly in English a hot tub is a specific outdoor tub. This was disappointing. Also where the fixtures & fittings are to a high standard I was disappointed that the lights hanging in the kitchen are false/for decoration only.
- Dermot (10/5): If you stay here, you will never forget it. - The location is wonderful and the views breath-taking. The final part of the drive up a series of hair-pin bends is not for the faint of heart but is memorable. Carmen keeps the place in order and is very helpful. The house is perfect for trekking - high up to El Cuetòn (very tough but well worth it for the spectacular 360 degree view) or across the valley to Bulnes.
- Jacob (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ellen (10/5): Lovely stay in the Picos!! - We spent three nights at Casa Maru and had a wonderful time! The house is lovely and the views are unbeatable. It’s a great spot for relaxing and accessing the many trails in the area. We really enjoyed chatting with Jhousy and the other guests who were staying there. We had dinner at Casa Maru one night which was a bit pricey but delicious. Jhousy is a great cook. The breakfasts were all top notch. One tip would be to bring some extra snacks with you just in case. The one restaurant near Casa Maru was closed the night we arrived and we were too tired from driving and hiking all day to venture out again (Jhousy offered to drive us into town to get some food which was extremely thoughtful of her—thanks Jhousy!). I cannot recommend Casa Maru highly enough!
- Frank (10/5): Exceptional - We spent two nights and had a great time. It is a beautifull house in an amazing environment. We did several different (very nice) hikes during daytime which can be easily done from home. The breakfast served was just perfect. Thanks for the good care!
- Jim (10/5): Highly recommend Casa Mura for those looking for the perfect stay in Picos de Europa - While a bit of a challenge to get to, Casa Mura is more than worth the effort. A picture perfect setting with stunning views and a beautiful facility. Jhosie is the ultimate hostess. Our breakfast was a perfect way to start each day.
- Carl (10/5): Exceptional - beautiful location and fantastic property and hosts
- Bonnie (10/5): Not enough Oooh’s in Omg for this amazing place. - Casa Maru is perfect in every way, from the setting in spectacular Picos de Europa to the handcrafted decor to Jhousy, the delightful host/owner.
- Philipgarner (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing. The host is fantastic. Breakfast is perfect with a view to match. Rooms are clean, modern and comfy. Nothing, but worth noting the roads are tight to get up to the hotel
- Kyle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gregory (10/5): Breathtaking - Casa Maru is one of the best places I’ve stayed in my life. The rooms are immaculate, the food is fantastic and the views are breathtaking. The views are the best on the region to see Naranjo de Bulnes.
They give great advice, recommendations and are just easy to talk to.
Thanks for a wonderful stay.
