Casas da Quinta da Cancela

Located directly on the Camino Santiago, this was a lovely respite after hot days' walking. It's an upscale, countryside experience and was a welcome treat! It was very quiet when we stayed - only one other couple on site. We loved the evening honor bar, relaxing stroll around the property, glass enclosed shower and bidet in our room, and the breakfast the next morning. Staff was accommodating, friendly and patient (we added a surprise stop to our Camino and didn't realize it would make us so late), even helping us get a last minute taxi when our Bolt drivers kept canceling on us. It's outside the city envelope so plan ahead for a taxi instead of Bolt if you need transportation!

Nothing. I wish we had more time there - if we return, I'll arrived earlier and plan ahead to have dinner with them so we can slow down and enjoy the countryside. Oh! One thing! We did reserve a specific room and staff moved us to another "because it's a nicer room". If you want a specific room, clarify the day before check-in. We didn't ask to be moved. Our room was very nice with an old-world feel we can't find in the USA.

We stayed one night in the apartment house while walking the Camino. The property is located along the path which was very convenient. The front desk person deserves a 10+ star review for her helpfulness and her warm personality. The grounds of the property is beautifully maintained and there are many places you can escape to if you want to relax. The house is rustic with modern updates. Breakfast was plated - yogurt, fruit, cheese, ham, bread, coffee, juice. The front desk person was also assisting with breakfast and did come around to see if we wanted more food. The AC unit is in the main bedroom, but it is able to cool off the other room at night if someone is sleeping in the room with the single bed. There is a small grocery store and bakery within a five minute walk and a bar/tavern that is also about a 5 - 10 minute walk if you don’t want to eat at the restaurant on the property for dinner.

Although the listing states there is a kitchen, there are signs posted in the house stating that no outside food or drinks are allowed in the house and to ask about the use of the appliances. Also, there are no plates in the kitchen. We did not need to use the kitchen, but if you are booking the house and need the kitchen you should probably get some clarification. We did use the table on the patio to enjoy our snacks and drinks. Additionally, the single bed has a dip in the middle of the mattress.

Right on the Camino Beautiful gardens Comfortable room

It was great

We were a group of 4 walking the Camino and stayed in the 2 bed townhouse. We were not a fan of this property as it was old and full of religious artifacts so felt creepy and dark. The double room was nice but the single room was again dark and creepy. The 'sofa bed' supplied in the front room was little more than a really hard futon so my friend did not get a good sleep atall. Hot water took 10 minutes to come through. Breakfast was pretty meagre with 1/2 slice of cheese each and 1/2 slice of ham. However, gardens and outside areas were lovely.

Needs updating and removal of broken piano and some of the larger religious items.
