Los 10 mejores rentales vacacionales de Gijón

If you are thinking about a vacation rental in Gijón, the first thing you should know is that there are 651 accommodations available, with an average price of 171 euros per night and a minimum of 92. The offer is divided among 622 apartments, 46 hotels, 26 vacation homes, 19 guest houses, 4 aparthotels and 3 villas. The average category is around 3.7 stars, so you will find functional options rather than luxurious ones, but with good value for money if you choose well.

As for the areas, the most practical one is the center and the Cimavilla neighborhood. The center puts you at the foot of Calle Corrida, the marina and San Lorenzo beach, and it is where most of the Apto-type apartments, Jesuitas or Apartamento Fomento are concentrated. Cimavilla, the fishing neighborhood, is more picturesque and quieter at night, but with fewer services and steep streets. If you are looking for direct beach access, the Piles or Rinconín area is ideal, although to get to the center you will have to walk about twenty minutes or take the bus. Poniente beach, to the west, is more family-friendly and has a promenade, but it is somewhat farther from the hustle and bustle. Vacation homes and villas, such as Casa en la playa, are usually on the outskirts or in nearby towns like Somió or Cabueñes, where you will definitely need a car.

The prices drop noticeably outside July and August, and also during Holy Week if it does not coincide with local holidays. September and June are good months: the weather is nice and rentals can cost 30% less than in peak season. To get there, you have Asturias airport about 40 minutes away by car or bus, and the Gijón train station in the center. Getting around the city is easy on foot, by bike or with the urban bus network; the tourist tram only runs in summer. Before booking, check whether the accommodation includes a parking space, because parking in the center is expensive and complicated, and confirm whether the final price includes cleaning and surcharges per person. It is also worth checking whether the elevator reaches all floors, because many old buildings do not have one, and whether the heating is individual or central, especially if you travel outside the season.
