The welcome was fantastic. They treated us wonderfully and were very attentive to our comfort. Highly recommended if you're walking the Camino.
Staying overnight costs €15 per person, and you have to pay only in cash 💶 To get inside, you need to come to the door of the house and call the butler at the phone number provided 📞 His name is Carlos, and he speaks exclusively Spanish, so trying to agree on something in advance will be extremely difficult if you don't speak this language 😶 Don't worry, it's a huge estate, and you will have enough free places in any case 🏠 There are rooms available for companies of various sizes, for couples there is an option to choose a large shared bed 🛏️ These are full-fledged separate rooms, so the soundproofing between them is not bad, but the water supply system there generates terrible sounds in a wide range of frequencies 🥴 In general, the house is mostly abandoned, a whole maze of numerous uninhabited rooms, among which it is easy to get lost, with a bunch of old furniture and interior elements of a religious nature left over from former residents ✝️ The above is already enough for the atmosphere as in some movie horrors, however, in addition to this, due to the malfunction of many door locks, drafts periodically open and close them on their own, accompanied by a loud rumble 🚪 This albergo is definitely not for superstitious visitors 👻 There is a separate laundry room and a place in the yard to dry clothes 🧺 There is a large kitchen, but most of the kitchen utensils are in such a condition that you are unlikely to want to use them 🍽️ No Wi-Fi 🛜 From the windows of the rooms where pilgrims are accommodated, a magnificent view of the city of Pontedeume and the sunset over the ocean opens 🌅 Carlos is very responsive to the needs of guests, so do not hesitate to ask him for any reason, he will always come to the rescue 🛎️ Just keep in mind that he is the only one who knows how to move through these corridors silently, so do not be scared if he suddenly unexpectedly appears next to you 😅
A very pleasant experience with Carlos! We were glad we stayed there. He is a very welcoming and open person. He gave us a tour of his large house and greeted us warmly. We hope all goes well for him!
The service we received from the very first minute was incredible. We only had to call and they booked us a room. My friend and I arrived two nights ago, completely exhausted! Carlos, who greeted us, asked if I could take my backpack, which I gladly agreed to—I was worn out! He explained everything to us and even offered us eggs and oil for breakfast the next day. Everything was perfect! The views were gorgeous! Impeccable service at an even better price. Thank you, Carlos!
Carlos is very attentive and kind. It's a huge house, a little scary to be honest. Perhaps if it were full of pilgrims it would seem different, but honestly, staying there just to sleep...it's something to think twice about. The views are very beautiful.
