Saint Benedict Convent

This weary pilgrim and fellow wandered in this afternoon and were warmly welcomed by a lovely receptionist who couldn't have been nicer. We were then treated to a complimentary glass of Port and a fine pastry. This hotel is a gem. The high point of our camino thus far. It's as if someone has trusted us to mind a museum for the night! It's just beautiful. If anyone is old enough to remember the convent where the Von Trapp family were secreted in the Sound of Music, that's the vibe.

This charming hotel is a converted convent, seamlessly blends historic artifacts with modern design. The well-maintained rooms are spacious, well-lit, and clean, offering a comfortable and contemporary stay. This is a perfect and relaxing stay after several nights sleeping in albergues. Check-in starts at 2:30 PM.

We stayed here at the start of our Camino only for 1 night but wished we had stayed longer. A beautiful building full of history in a prime position in A Guarda … our room was spacious with a view of the court yard and an amazing shower and bath … breakfast was fresh and lovely and staff very helpful

Excellent accommodation and fantastic breakfast. Great location and friendly staff. Top marks
