Wonderful place to rest after a day on the Camino. The room was very large, nicely decorated, and clean. The outdoor sitting area/bar was very relaxing. It was nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the peaceful setting.

The property was beautiful and Victor, the owner, took such pride in it. The room and tub were spectacular after a long day on the Camino. Loved sitting by the pool, relaxing, and meeting new friends.
