Property was very cozy and clean with an amazing view from the porch. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Homemade dinner was fabulous. It was a perfect way to start my Camino.

The staff was very friendly, the common dinner was great, the bed was comfortable and the place is clean.

Great Albergue to start our Caminio. Wonderful host Karen. Relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely return.

Great vibes, the really cared about what the hostel nice breakfast.

Excellent & 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!

Just 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.

the location in proximity to the Camino de Santiago was fantastic. breakfast was nice European style

The host was welcoming and the place is well run. I especially liked the common areas which are artfully designed.

I liked how the host was relaxed and answered our questions. The morning ceremony was so nice :)

Very 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.
