Pousada de Armenteira

(From our stay in late Sep-24) Really smart modern hotel that I sort of got the impression might be struggling a little with their overheads unfortunately. Nevertheless, the twin room was an excellent size with good modern decor and some cool design choices in the bathroom. Very comfortable bedroom, and some nice extra touches as you would expect from a higher end hotel. Spotless throughout too. They even have a pool you can access from the end of your hotel room, but the autumnal weather put paid to any ideas of enjoying that. Welcoming and friendly staff and an excellent breakfast in a chic restaurant. They didn't offer dinner there when we stayed (late September) but the local pub/restaurant was surprisingly good after seeing the singing nuns in the monastery at 7pm... which you must do if you stay overnight in Armentiera!

We spent two days here. The staff was great! I appreciated the fruit selections from the breakfast! I would have loved to have a different kind of coffee and not Nespresso but that's really a small wish, not really something needed. The beds were amazing and the rooms in general were well worth the money.

Our Camino muscles screamed in relief as we crossed the threshold of Pousada de Armenteira. The climb up Altameira had been a beast, but this charming inn felt like an oasis. Our room was spotless, a haven of clean sheets and cool tranquility. Perfect for weary pilgrims like ourselves! The staff at Pousada de Armenteira deserve special mention. They were incredibly helpful, offering soothing smiles and answering every question with patience. The staff at Pousada de Armenteira deserve special mention.

While they didn't have an on-site dinner service, they happily pointed us towards nearby restaurants where we could refuel for the next leg of our journey. Though a dinner option at the pousada would have been the cherry on top, the overall experience was fantastic.

Ugly hotel set in beautiful area. Incongruous to say the least. Great beds, pillows, breakfast and a refreshing swim in a chilly pool. On Portuguese Camino

Bask in the days this hotel must have been a marvel, but not it feels like the shadow of its former self. Lots of empty spaces, the wood that dominates the hotel looks old. Welcome to the hotel was a bit strange. The room was spacious and interesting, but again dated. Location is good to explore Armenteira and to La Routa de Agua e Pedras.
