IsraelGreat Albergue to start our Caminio. Wonderful host Karen. Relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely return.
United States of AmericaGreat vibes, the really cared about what the hostel nice breakfast.
United States Minor Outlying IslandsExcellent & very comfortable place for a pre-Camino stay. Host very nice & I enjoyed the pilgrim’s blessings. Meditation/yoga room was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast more robust that most albergues with fruit, yoghurt & small egg crepes. Dormitory had only single beds, NO bunks, which was an added plus. I would definitely recommend this Gite/Albergue before heading off on the rigorous first Camino days!
United States of AmericaJust great. Awesome albergue, the energy was very pleasant. It’s very tastefully equipped and clean. It has a nice terace and also a meditation room which is uncommon. The breakfast was tasty and the host is very kind and helpful.
Sloveniathe location in proximity to the Camino de Santiago was fantastic. breakfast was nice European style
United States of AmericaThe host was welcoming and the place is well run. I especially liked the common areas which are artfully designed.
SwitzerlandI liked how the host was relaxed and answered our questions. The morning ceremony was so nice :)
CroatiaVery nice location, quiet and near the top of the citadel. Hospitalero Ax was very helpful. Early morning meditation with Ax and other pilgrims set us on the right path to the Camino Frances.
