Nos hospedamos aquí después de la larga y agitada caminata desde Porto. Una hermosa propiedad dentro y fuera, con un maravilloso sentido de espiritualidad antigua. Sin literas, lo cual fue agradable, y varias habitaciones de diferentes tamaños. Dormimos en una habitación de 6 camas. Se proporcionaban sábanas y mantas. Como era marzo y el lugar no tenía calefacción, ¡necesitábamos varias! Los pisos eran bastante fríos, lo que me hizo pensar en los monjes que vivieron aquí a través de los siglos. Una cocina muy bien equipada con hierbas, especias, aceites y cosas para comprar como donación, como pasta. Un lindo desayuno. En general, un ambiente muy bueno de peregrino.

Nos hospedamos aquí en nuestra primera noche del Camino. La ubicación en el monasterio fue hermosa, con vistas encantadoras, y el personal fue amable. Extras como la sala de meditación fueron un detalle bonito.
Sin embargo, las duchas (al menos en el piso superior) requerían sostener la alcachofa, lo que dificultaba el lavado. Nuestra funda de almohada también tenía una mancha grande, lo cual fue decepcionante considerando el precio de €30 por una habitación privada.
En general, fue una estancia decente, pero recomendaría optar por la habitación compartida más económica. Tampoco hay mucho cerca, así que aproveche la cocina compartida y consulte los horarios de las tiendas si planea comprar comida localmente.

If you're planning on more of a classic Camino stay at a monastery, this isn't going to be that. The chapel is closed except on Sundays, and while they let pilgrims know that they have a meditation room upstairs, it's not what you might expect- it's more of a yoga room with floor mats and a Buddha statue. It could be exactly what some are looking for, but would also be a suprise for others going out of their way to come here.

You do have the option of staying at more of a normal former monastery the night before Santiago, in a town called Herbon, they have a full tour and a group dinner, I'd highly recommend it.

That being said, the grounds are well-maintained, the price is reasonable, and the place has all of the essentials you'd need.

I loved my stay at this gorgeous place! Everyone was welcoming. The rooms were simple and clean. The showers were warm. And the breakfast was delicious! I highly recommend it and wish all my albergue experiences were similar to this one.

A very special place to stay on the Camino! The albergue is set in a former monastery, which gives it a unique and peaceful atmosphere. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming — truly some of the most hospitable people we've met on the Camino.

There is a kitchen where you can prepare your own dinner, and they offer food on a donation basis, which is very thoughtful.

We had a private room on the top floor — it was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view.

We can only recommend this place for your stop along the Camino!

A must-stay. Comfortable bed, restrooms and good kitchen to cook. A mini market close by has the essentials you can buy to cook. The building (super preserved) from 1000 years ago, plus all the nice vibes from the hospitaleiros are a great relief after a long walk from Porto. Please try the escalda pés and the meditation room, from where you can see a beautiful sunset . I recommend 100%.

The staff was super gracious as I think they’re volunteers at the monastery. Fruit, cereal and coffee for breakfast. Nice kitchen/dining area was great too.

(In February) a good first stop from Porto. 10€ +5€ for sheets + 5€ for breakfast. Very cute place but rooms are cold. Breakfast is bare bones but tasty and was upgraded to a two person room as it was quite. Showers take a while to run hot but are in private cubicles
