Apartamento da Pedra e da Auga

Beautiful apartment, open and bright. The most comfortable bed I have slept on.

The location listed on booking.com led us to someone else’s house. The host was hard to communicate with, she did not give us clear direction or correct address, and the wifi was not given until the next morning.

A wonderful place to stay, especially if you’re walking the Spiritual Route of the Camino de Santiago and planning to attend the evening Mass at 7:30 PM. After Mass, I highly recommend taking the road/highway that runs parallel to the Spiritual Route instead of continuing directly on the Camino trail. It makes getting to the accommodation much easier and more straightforward, especially in the evening. The location is also very convenient for continuing the Camino the next morning - it’s easy to get back onto the route and keep walking without any problems

Good, spacious apartments with several bedrooms and a large kitchen-living room. Lovely views from the windows, and the house has its own grounds. There is private parking, handy if you are driving.

The main difficulty is getting in. The representative neither speaks nor writes English. Reviews made clear the place is hard to find, so I asked for coordinates in advance. They arrived by WhatsApp the next day and pointed to an entirely different town. I wrote back for clarification and got silence; an answer came several hours later, and through Booking rather than WhatsApp. The new coordinates were closer to the truth, but Google Maps showed an empty field there and about 40 minutes from the Camino trail. I had to plan the route in a different app, which gave 16 minutes, so not as bad as it looked. Orienting ourselves on site was no easier: the house is listed as 1C, while the numbering only went up to 1A. A local resident helped and worked out where we needed to go after about ten minutes. Discrepancies with the listing. There was no coffee machine and no whirlpool bath. Wi-Fi nominally exists, the QR code scans fine, but the signal does not reach the ground floor, presumably because the router sits upstairs in the apartment with the balcony. Practical details. All the lighting except in the bathroom is a cold blue tone, so in the evening the charm of the house is lost entirely and the bedroom becomes genuinely uncomfortable. The living room was very cold in the morning and we found no way to heat it. The windows have not been cleaned in a long time; they are cloudy and you can barely see through them in the morning. There were no cleaning products in the kitchen at all, the soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty, and there was no shower gel. The kitchen clock shows a random time and is useless for telling the hour. The front door lock has a quirk: a key inserted from the inside will not come back out unless you hold the cylinder with a finger. And something useful for future guests, since nobody told us: the gate is opened and closed with the button marked llave portal next to the door. On safety.

El jardín está muy bien cuidado y las camas son cómodas y

Faltaban utensilios para cocinar y una fregona y un cepillo. Está un poco lejos de todo, pero es bonito para desconectar
