We chose the private room and pilgrim dinner. Both disappointed.

The private room had a private WC that was only accessible by walking through a cramped public area containing the reception, kitchen and dining area. Awkward. Both were a little shabby and other guests assumed the private WC was shared because of its location.

The meal had one option: a bowl of pasta (good, but average), a salad (good but average) and a small store bought flan. We’ve had many similar or better meals for less that, for example, included more options and homemade desserts.

The owner was friendly and accommodating and meeting other pilgrims was delightful, but in the future we’d choose another place to stay.

Wonderful stay, real sheets and towels, sat down with Marcello and other pilgrims to a home cooked Italian meal. Well done Marcello, excellent meal. Would highly recommend to stay here. Perfect location on Camino route.

An incredible communal Italian dinner that is a highlight of the Camino. A must stay.

Very Nice stay here.
Soft beds and also curtains for privacy. Everything is very clean. Nice clean sheets and even a towel!!
A hanging basket in front of the fireplace for your boots. So nice… in the morning warm dry boots to put on.
Marcello made a beautiful Italian dinner.
Very nice to share dinner with other pilgrims. That’s what’s the Camino is about.
Thank you so much Marcello and go on like this.
You are the best on the Camino.
Un cordial saludo Elisabeth

Stay for the communal dinner! Marcello is a great host! He cooks great pasta, it’s homemade! Honestly, one of the best meals that we’ve had on the Camino. We ended up with the VIP room! Clean room with real sheets & blankets. The place has charm & character. Loved his selection of music which included many genres. We would stay again. Highly recommend!

Nice restoration on an older building; beds and bathrooms were substantial with privacy curtains a plus. Marcello was not cooking the night we stayed (a Friday) so we were disappointed, but we found excellent pasta at “Pasta,” a local restaurant. We paid for laundry service but our clothes weren’t dry; fortunately, the heat from the wood-burning stove dried them overnight and our fellow guests were okay with laundry hanging everywhere!

October 2023 - I really enjoyed my stay at Casina Di Marcello. At first glance you might think, it’s outside of town and than you arrive…. Marcello is a pilgrim who has walked the Camino and he provides the little extras that make this Albergue special. Sheets and blankets, a towel, curtains at the bunks for privacy and places to plug in your devices. We had a wonderful pilgrim meal. I truly enjoyed my stay here.

We came from outside Galicia and were charged €18, not €15 as it says on the app. But it was a nice place and a delicious dinner.
