Villalen is incredible! We stayed here while walking the Camino del Norte and cannot recommend it highly enough. Our room was lovely and the property is beautiful and peaceful. Carlos, the host, makes a delicious multi-course evening meal that is priced for peregrinos (don’t miss this meal!). Breakfast was also excellent. Staying here was like a little slice of heaven!

We loved everything!

A beautifully made and decorated property. The kindness and service of owner was remarkable - made us feel comfortable. The town, a bit of a walk, stopped predictable good food services so Villalen owner decided to make dinner for guests themselves. Great food! Walked guests to gate to show directions on departure with urging to add a coastline excursion that turned out breath taking. Would stay again in a minute. Longer.

Spacious and comfortable. I think they offered food in a charming “greenhouse,” but I never figured it out due to the language barrier and the fact that I ate just before I arrived. Worth checking if you’re considering this accommodation. The owner was very nice.

Stubbed my toe on the raised floor to the bathroom. No sign to let me know I was at the right place; entrance was confusing.

the location was nice and close to the beautiful coastline, we liked the balconies and the beds were comfortable, and the location was quiet. the showers were lovely. and everything was very clean. The host was friendly and helpful.

overall we really liked our short stay, but we didnt like the air fresheners in every room, the smell was too strong. We would have also liked to have access to a kitchen, however there was a microwave available.

Can’t say enough good things about our experience. Staff, food, room, location are all excellent. Our hosts went above and beyond to make the experience special, including providing a bottle of Sidar to toast our anniversary.

Nothing.

Beautiful location in a rural village. Lovely traditional house. Owner took great care of all guests. Taking evening dinner at Villalen is highly recommended. Only slightly off the Camino Norte. One of my best stays.

All good

What a special place this is. I came in out of the pouring rain off the Camino, and Carlos got me settled in… got a fire going so I could dry my shoes etc. my room was terrific. So clean and cozy! They served me, a delicious and very abundant dinner in the dining area, by the fire! I love this place!

Directly on the Camino trail, this large residence has been converted into a lovely accommodation. Carlos (owner) is wonderful! He will provide a home cooked dinner ($) which was very tasty! The accommodations were outstanding and very cute. HIGHLY recommend staying here - Carlos will take good care of you.

Nothing close by (store, restaurants etc) so plan accordingly.

everything about Villalen was wonderful it's a little out of the way, but not to worry, they take very good care of you, they will make you an excellent 5 course meal, plus breakfast (for an additional cost, but it's well worth it)

there was nothing to dislike about it

Super nice country inn. Beautiful woodwork and architecture. Fabulous setting in a lush country backwater. Excellent breakfast. Awesome host.

A little hard to find. Narrow winding roads with stone walls on both sides: don't try to drive a big car to this location.
