A quiet, relaxing place to stay with the most warm and welcoming hostess! She offered a beautiful breakfast spread, and great advice for our Camino de Santiago journey! This was our favorite place along the way.

Of 15 nights on the Camino, this was absolutely the BEST stay my 14-year-old daughter and I had! Elisabete is phenomenal! Our room was beautifully decorated along with the attached bath. Everything spotless. Elisabete was so welcoming and caring! Amazing breakfast and genuine Portugal hospitality! Don't look elsewhere! Book this incredible stay!

Very friendly staff! Welcoming and helpful, and were even able to accommodate my wife's gluten intolerance on very short notice (we didn't expect gluten-free bread at all, as there were plenty of alternative options in the expansive breakfast offerings already!)

The host, Elisabete welcomed me like a friend. I loved staying here so much. It was my last night in Portugal and she made me wish I stayed there the whole time. Comfortable, clean, and a delicious breakfast in the morning. I have never felt so welcome. I will be back!
