    Small bathroom.

    We had the quintessential “room with a view” onto the city plaza with a church roof below and the Rio Lima beyond. We loved it. It’s in an old mercantile shop lovingly converted by the owner and filled with family memorabilia. It a special place in a most special city. Our favorite on the Portuguese Camino.

    I didn’t mind, but there were several stairs to climb to get to the room. Anyone who books this will want to be aware of that.

    This may have been my favorite accommodation on the Camino Portugues. It was gorgeous, spacious, clean, had an incredible view of the bell tower, breakfast was fabulous, the location was excellent, historical decor was lovely, and the owners were so kind.

    Lovely antiques throughout. Sitting room adjacent to our rooms with couch, TV and table/chairs. Host kindly sold us a bottle of wine which he delivered to our room with cookies. Thoughtful treat. Breakfast was included. Central location made it easy to walk around and see this pleasing town.

    Beautiful property oozing with character and charm. Room was very comfortable with lovely Juliette balcony. Such a lovely family run hotel. It used to be a grocery store run by the parents of the current owner. I loved it!

    The location was perfect ( right.on the Camino in the city centre) and the.rooms were fantastic: spacious, clean and stylish. Breakfast was great too. The history of the building was fascinating and the owners had retained the integrity of the original.store. But the generosity and the kindness of the owners made Mercearia de Vila really stand.out.

    I arrived with food poisoning from my previous location and was welcomed with such care and kindness. They were available to help me with anything, at any moment. The place is beautiful, the room is lovely the bed is so comfortable and the shower was amazing. Perfect location for easily getting around to sightsee, everything is centrally located. Thank you so much to the owner, the lovely lady and her daughter!

    Staff was very kind, I told them that I would be leaving before the included breakfast. They packed me a meal to go. Also one of the few places that had a full size hair dryer which I used to dry my boots after a long/ wet day on the Camino. Also, there were several nice restaurants within close proximity of the hotel.

    An absolutely charming hotel. The hotel (formerly a grocery store) has been in the owner's family for several generations. Our room was large and bright, overlooking the square and river. It was beautifully appointed and exceptionally comfortable. The breakfast was extremely good. The affection of the family for the traditions they maintained was absolutely endearing. The hotel is in the middle of things, near dozens of restaurants and steps from the Camino. This was one of the most delightful stays of our visit to Spain and Portugal.
