It was away from the Camino

The people, the atmosphere , the food and a warm feeling from the house to the people.

Late dinner meal, but that’s part of being in Spain

Comfortable and cozy. Staff was very accommodating

The staff was so friendly and top rate service. Best food we had on the Camino. Homemade. Attention to detail so quaint. I'd come back here for a writing retreat or romantic getaway. Loved the rustic beauty. I can't say enough good things.

The bed was a bit too firm for our liking, but was easy fixed using a few provided extra blankets for cushioning. Probably fine for heavier guests or for those who like firm surface.

Comfortable, rustic, cozy, historic, relaxing and peaceful are just a few of the descriptions of our unforgettable stay. Pepa, Laura and Javier are the perfect hosts, with a perfect level of attentiveness and attention to detail. The room cleaning and overall cleanliness were impeccable.

What a stunning place to stay, great history

Leaving - honestly, had we not already secured a few bookings in advance we would have stayed for a few days longer.

The authenticity and rustic nature of the hotel was amazing. Laura was the most attentive and generous host. Picking us up at the end of a days Camino walking at Rabanal and dropping us back to the same spot the next day to continue our Camino.

It is a little bit away from the Camino but Laura and family were EXTREMELY accommodating in getting from there and back!!

Beautiful property and so historic but with every modern convenience … including a wonderful bathroom! The owners were sooo friendly and knowledgeable! I hope to return and stay longer!

It's somewhat difficult to rejoin the Camino route - I took the main road, which was OK, pretty quiet at 6am, and the few cars were quite aware of the possibility of walkers - but although the road is easy to walk on, it is not intended as a footpath. I would recommend the longer cross-country path that avoids the road, if you have time (which I didn't).

I stayed here, because I was unable to reserve a place to stay on at Rabanal /Foncebadon. I would highly recommend this place - during the day it is a restaurant, and the hosts prepared a lovely dinner for myself and one other pilgrim who was staying, at a very reasonable price. The rooms are in a fine, refurbished stone building, with modern bathrooms.

Nothing!

Lovely hosts, location is slightly off the camino but they kindly picked me up and dropped me back! Beautiful place to stay with lovely hosts! Wish I could stay here every night.

everything was perfectly wonderful!

The hosts Laura and her husband couldn’t have been nicer. Laura’s husband went to pick up a forgotten pilgrim passport in the city for a pilgrim. no charge. he just dud it out of his own heart!!!

the walls of the rooms are too thin, you can hear every move of your neighbours- the ones above you as well as the ones next door

the building, the breakfast, the location, the decorations the staff

I loved this hotel.

Casa Pepa is amazing! It is a restored 18th century Maragata mansion converted to a small hotel but keeping with the Maragata style. It is so charming. One can see the attention, care, and love they put into the restoration. All rooms overlook the garden. My room was amazing. It was beautifully decorated. The bed was comfortable. There is a bath/shower and I was able to soak in the tub after being on the Camino. My room had an electric tea kettle and I was able to enjoy a couple of cups of tea. The owners/hosts and the owner’s mother were wonderful. They were so attentive. The dinner and breakfast were great. It was so quiet and just felt so serene. It’s off the Camino path but so worth the experience. I highly recommend Casa Pepa.

Our room had 3 twin beds which was not to our liking. Perhaps I just don't understand how to request a king size bed in Spain, or perhaps they are uncommon. The website boasts old-fashioned wool blankets, but during CoVID times, it would be nicer to have a sheet on both sides of the wool blanket to increase "clean" surfaces.

Owners and property were absolutely delightful. Food was farm to table, fresh and delicious. Husband and wife strike an ideal balance sharing front and back of house duties creating a seemless and detail rich experience. Beautiful mansion from the 1800's refurbished and well taken care of. Owner picked us up from Camino and dropped us back - other hikers walked 3 extra miles to reach the Rural House. One of the 3-4 largest rooms on our vacation and perfectly appointed.

The cost of things should be explained as you order them.

The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was very good and a good value for 6 euros. They picked us up in El Ganso while walking the Camino. My only complaint was the dinners were expensive at 22.50 Euro for each of us (two friends). I wish I had known ahead of time. It was better than a pilgrim meal but not twice.

The hotel is lovely and the owners, Laura and her husband made us feel so welcomed. The food was excellent and the village was charming. I recommend a stay here!

This hotel is run by very nice and friendly people and is located in a perfect small village to have peace and rest.

Very squeaky floorboards above me made it difficult to sleep. Location very remote

Lovely old buildings, attention to detail

We chose this location for two specific reasons: 1. They stated they were on the Camino de Santiago and 2. They were only 2 miles from el Ganso. Neither were true. When we got to el Ganso, we were told there was no direct road to the hotel, that we would have to walk about another 12 miles to get to the hotel. (This was a disaster as I was in extreme pain. I later learned I had stress fractures in both knees) We tried to call but were unable to get through. We had to walk further to find a place to stay. Luckily we found a room and the host called the hotel, cancelled our reservation and picked up bags we had transported there. Even though we never stayed there, the charged us and refused to refund our money. BE CAREFUL WHEN BOOKING HERE AS SOME OF THE INFOMRATION ON THIS SITE IS FALSE AND THEY FAILED TO REFUND OUR MONEY WHEN WE COULD NOT EVEN GET TO THE HOTEL BECAUSE OF THE FALSE LISTING.
