Like what someone else said.. At first it looks old, but it’s very cozy, lots of room to chill, there is a Fonte, cute cats, the food is very nice, and the owner is very friendly, smiling, helping, waving. There is the trust you can take what you want, in terms of beers and other drinks, and pay later. They have lunch and dinner themselves, and breakfast you can take yourself. I believe this is more simple prepackaged things, and that’s smart, as you don’t need to wait till breakfast time start! Nice!! 🤩
Lovely place in a village that barely deserves a name of the village; spacious house with a friendly, accommodating and super nice hospitaliero who will make you dinner and do your laundry for a small fee. Modern amenities, hammocks in the shady garden. Great experience.
It seemed, at first, that the house is rather old, but after getting to know the place better, it turned out to be such a cozy and comfortable place, with lots of charm! Happy I stopped there, turned into one of my favorite stops. The breakfast was varied and plenty!
I will start with the lovely presentation of the owner of this magical place! He who takes care of all kind of pilgrims and with what a joy he does it! I arrived tired and humble with my dog asking for a place to put my tent and with open arms he tells me I can go in a privet room as he didn't had a lot of pilgrims these days. Then the food! A very good choice of good food , chicken, pork or cow and they have also for vegetarians some choices! Even if you don't want to sleep here, ehich I do recomend, at least stop to have a cold beer and hear the sounds of the birds with the greenery of the trees. It is worth every second. When you go inside you can see how many pilgrims was also recieved like I was by the tones of notes and draws they left. You will definetly feel like home. Go drink a cold beer , eat a good food of menu of the day and sleep like kings and queens. Too good to be true and by far the best place I have stopped in the whole Camino till now, I started on northe and fhere is no comprasion. This is a good stop in every single way. Thanks Nito! Gracias Nito eres mi angel en mi camino! A very beautiful rest I didn't knew I needed so much!
One of the best places we stayed on the Camino Primtivo. Very nice host. Helpful. Trusting. He will take your clothes to Lugo to be washed. You can take any food and drink from behind the counter if he is not there - jus
