Since 2019, we are the new Innkeepers of La Rose del Agua. We are Pilgrims from different nationalities, who have walked many kilometers and have lived the experience and philosophy that is the “Camino”. And now we are living the spirit of the Camino daily by providing our pilgrim/ guests with a comfortable room and a fresh breakfast in a 150 plus year old mountain rural home in the tiny village of El Acebo in the heart of El Bierzo region of Leon and directly on the French Camino. Our heartfelt mission statement “When you’re here you´re home” is what we hope to impart to each and every one of our guests.

Información del alojamiento

La Rosa del Agua is a beautifully restored stone and oak house with slate roofs typical of the Bierzo region of Leon and located directly on the Camino de Santiago. For 200 years this historic dwelling was the first sign of civilization and hospitality coming down the mountain from the Cruz de Ferro welcoming tired hungry 18th and 19th century Pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Proof of La Rosa del Aguas´s history is evidenced by its delicately restored 18th century log burning stone oven that in its day baked bread for its inhabitants as well as the village of El Acebo de San Miguel. The 6 cm thick oak exterior doors on each floor and its iron hardware also date back to the 1800´s. The guest common area includes a similarly restored kitchen and dining area where our guests can prepare a complementary tea or coffee and enjoy it on the balcony with a village view, breathing in the fresh mountain air and disconnecting from the routine or curled up in the lounge area with a good book. Guests may also find a small refrigerator stored with water, cold drinks and more. A kettle, coffeemaker, toaster and microwave are at your disposal to make you feel at home. .
