Villafranca del Bierzo

Description and Notice
Reservations accepted
Yes

Los hospitaleros hablan inglés, bien, y son de los más amables del camino. El río está justo enfrente, y es el mejor lugar para remojarse los pies.

¡Todas las literas son bajas!

NOTA: Si te alojas aquí, y si quieres tomar el desvío a Pradela al salir de Villafranca, asegúrate de caminar de vuelta hacia Villafranca un corto trecho y tomar el sendero que gira bruscamente a la izquierda.

The hosts were very gracious, but they only accept cash.

The heat was oppressive, and top floor accommodations were a bit difficult due to the weather, but the place was wonderful otherwise. Hosts were super helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend.

My stay here was a great experience. The host went out of his way to be accommodating. I highly recommend.

If anyone finds a white electrical converter in the plug upstairs by one of the beds in front of the railing, please bring it along with you as it was left behind and now I am without a way to charge my device.
The Camino will guide the way so we can connect.
A girl with a heart ❤️ but no device to charge.
Much appreciated.

P.s. best sleep ever by the sound of the rushing river.

We reserved a private room months ago and called to confirm 3 days ahead as requested. We were told we were OK when we called, but when we arrived, he had no record of our reservation and no private rooms available. We even showed him where we called his number 3 days ago to confirm. He admitted that was his number, said we must have spoken to someone else. Did that matter? We were very tired, hot, and frustrated. He did try to find us somewhere else to stay, but we found somewhere on our own.

Stayed June11/25. Comfortable albergue in a pretty part of town with a grocery store minutes away. All the beds are single beds. I was travelling with another pilgrim so stayed in a girls room but with two beds partitioned off so very private with a little balcony to hang clothes. Great kitchen and breakfast in a bag for the next morning. Lovely host! Was very happy there. If you want a big workout, take the alternate route out of town. You climb very high up a mountain. Great views but maybe not the best idea if you are going to O Cebreiro the same day.

I had the opportunity to stay here last night and what a wonderful experience. No bunk beds. The top floor is one big room with single beds. You have your own outlet, a nightstand and you get real sheets and a pillowcase. My bed was luckily on the water side of the room so all I could hear was the stream babbling out my window all night. After you hand wash your clothing, Natalie, one of the hosts, spun dried my laundry for free to allow for better hang drying. The kitchen had everything you needed and the albergue is located near a restaurant and supermarket. For 4€ they will provide you with a little to-go breakfast bag the night before which includes a yogurt drink, a sandwich, lemon cake and a banana. I would definitely stay here again.

The hosts are so kind here! Very clean albergue with great facilities. I lucked out with a private room that had a balcony facing the river and it was so beautiful. Fully functional kitchen. I don’t know why, but I felt so taken care of by the breakfast to-go back that the hosts prepare and deliver personally. A really lovely and recommended place!
