Beautiful little farmhouse, in the mountains, very sweetly decorated, very peaceful, warm and friendly atmosphere. Annabel who worked at the front was very helpful and showed us everything. Kitchen open for us to use and cook. Breakfast in the morning was included and had everything--eggs (you had to make them but all pots/pans there), cheeses, meats, fruit, bread. It is a bit away from the main city but worth staying here. Something different.
We were four adults staying in this dormitory-style room.
All of us are Camino walkers. We had read the positive reviews about this place, so we were really looking forward to staying here. Unfortunately, this place turned out to be disappointing. There is a massive bed bug infestation in the 10-bed room. We found live bugs in two of the four beds we used. I myself was bitten more than 50 times. I have a strong allergic reaction, and the bites are swollen and painful.
When we contacted the accommodation, they confirmed they were aware of this problem, but they had said nothing to us beforehand. They also did not offer any kind of refund. Given the situation, we ended up wasting a significant amount of money and couldn't get any proper sleep. Walking the Camino after a sleepless night is truly exhausting.
It's very disappointing that something as basic as a safe bed is not a priority for them. Please do not stay here - or if you do, be extremely careful. This experience was honestly horrible for us. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
If you are looking for an atmospheric place to visit and stay for a night in an urban style, it is exactly what you need. We organized an event in this wonderful place.
The best place I stayed at so far during the Camino. A little slice of heaven, so peaceful and calm. I loved everything and had the best sleep in a long time!
Hands down my best stay during camino. It's exactly what a tired pilgrim needs: quiet space, comfy beds, clean facilities, and enough privacy. Do I even have to mention fantastic views? A true oasis!
Even though I stayed in a "hostel" type room dedicated for pilgrims, I didn't feel cramped or uneasy at all. The attic area allowed everybody to be comfortable on their own and interact if desired. The washing machine is available, which is a life saviour on such trips. What's more - they kindly serve you breakfast (freshly baked bread and chorizo, uhmm) and offer a very liberal check out time.
All in all, it definitely felt more like a resort experience rather than albergue. Also, worry not: there're private rooms available and from my understanding it's a favorite place of a surfing crowd to hang our (adjacent coworking only makes sense then).
Wow, what an absolute gem 💎. Great service, super breakfast- included in daily rate. Loved the rural, organic aspect, beautiful area, very neat and tidy. All amenities are 'free', including washing machine use. Frozen meals, craft beer, some red wine- just fabulous! dormitory was big and spacious; large and comfortable. Private room has ensuite- a huge bonus. Highly recommended 👌 👍. Location: 20 minute walk down to town. Taxi to get there from station, was great & cheap.
Amazing spot for calming down and recharge for pilgrims and others.. friendly people..they have even courses and coworking places
