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 owner/host messaged me shortly after my arrival to make sure everything was going well.

We discussed the history of the town and I thoroughly appreciated his kindness during my stay.

See the other reviews, all are spot on, perfect!

So hospitable. Clean. Great shower best ever and the cafe just down the street best breakfast on the trail.

Je ne peux imaginer une meilleure auberge.
L’hôte m’’a offert une tasse de thé ou de café â mon arrivée. D’ailleurs, on peut se prendre une tasse en tout temps.
Dans ma chambre, il n’y avait que cinq lits simples (pas superposés!) avec de vrais draps. Ce petit dortoir était séparé en deux par un mur. On avait une salle de bain propre, moderne juste pour nous cinq. Celle-ci comprenait tout le nécessaire: du savon et du papier près du lavabo et des crochets à côté de la douche. Et quelle douche mémorable! Il y avait quatre jets chaude.
Sachez que l’auberge est située à la sortie de ce grand village, et qu’il y a un restaurant, une épicerie et un guichet bancaire au proche.

I arrived here just ahead of the rain, thankfully. The hosts are so kind and thoughtful. My bag was carried up to the dorm room that was airy, spacious, clean and had single beds!!! Also sheets and a blanket! Large windows.

A to go bag breakfast is offered. A good option as there is no place to eat for many kms.

I highly recommend a stay here.

The house of this albergue is amazing, as the interior is combined with the rock where the house is build on.
The owners are really kind and welcoming and the rooms are quite nice and spacious.

Would definitely recommend!

Bonus tip: if you feel like a small challenge the next day, please take the alternative route over the mountain! It is really beautiful hike and the views are just dazzling. In my opinion the best and most beautiful part of the Camino!
(You’re really on your own there so be aware of that, as there aren’t as much pilgrims there, although I could easily walk there)

I saw the ads for this Albergue upon entering villafranca and wasn’t able to locate it till my second day as it’s past the plaza and across the bridge, which is less than a 5 minute walk from the plaza etc. This place is a true gem along the Camino and is everything the reviews state and more, it’s exceptional value and was very welcoming, the hosts (owners) are charming and the entire building was clean, well presented with good services and amenities - make this place your stop in villafranca (it’s also on the route - bonus) you won’t be disappointed

I stayed here two nights ago and for 20 euros got a private room that had a window into the hallway instead of to the outside. You could fully close the window, so it wasn't an issue of light. The room got a little hot but there was a fan with remote control! For an extra 3 euros you would get a little breakfast basket with a ham and cheese sandwich, Orange juice, and cake that I ate later in the day. Also downstairs there is coffee and tea available around the clock.

Lovely people, very clean, comfortable beds and a very kind/chill vibe. If you have problems with stairs, that may be a problem but that’s the ONLY negative I can think of. Highly recommended. Stayed on May 5, 2024 and June 2017.

The albergue is one of the last ones in town but it’s so worth it; LOWER BUNKS, the kindest people, they offered water and seats before checking you in; gave us extra blankets if you wanted. Yes, across the river to soak your tired feet! The lady drew me a map with colores to go downtown and her husband loaned dry clothes to my friends who had all his clothes in the laundry. Highly recommended
