After a long day on the camino, I did get lost and somehow, I was able to get the owner to come pick me up at a nearby shopping center. The property is gorgeous. For being an old farmhouse, the owner takes very good care of it and it shows with the attention to detail. My room was extremely comfortable and quiet. I highly recommend staying here albeit close to but not on the camino.

Beautiful property off the Camino after a stressful day walking along the roads. Helena offers wonderful hospitality and a nice breakfast. Make sure to ask her in advance if you want to order dinner from a nearby restaurant. She will help you.

Sarah United States of America

Elena did a great job receiving me. I had to leave before breakfast so she made me a lunch bag that she hung on my room door knob early in the morning. I was grateful for that as there weren't many places to stop on my Camino the next day. I loved the room as it was very comfortable.

Kevin United States of America

I loved everyone and the place was amazing. They went out of their way to help.

This guest house is an oasis of peace. We loved everything about it! the rooms are spacious, clean and filled with character. the hostess and her staff are wonderful. Breakfast was a selection of delicious breads, cheese, meats, orange juice freshly made from oranges on the farm, etc., and served in a gorgeous renovated historical building.
