There are all kind if antique toys from the owner a a kid and he loves to tell about it, I loved it there. Beautiful decoration and antique furniture, very chique and style fyll. muchas gracias for Rodrico , he offered also a take away lunch for the camino. Breakfast was also amazing, very good. This was my favorite hotel on my camino.

Sita Netherlands

Located in the very centre of the old town, right by the River, with a beautiful view over the river, the shopping avenue and the clock tower, with many cafes and restaurants nearby. The quaint accommodation is kept meticulously neat, with much attention to the historic detail of the building. We absolutely loved it! The owner Rodrigo (hope spelled correctly..) is very friendly and helpful, as was the lady who checked us in. The breakfast was very good too! We would definitely recommend this property! It's perfect!
