La Casona de Doña Petra

Lovely stay!

Set in a quiet location this beautiful building is a gem. Only saw one member of staff who spoke hardly any English but she was super

Well restored ancient lodging on Camino saint jaques in crumbling small village. Clean, everything you need,. Well appointed restaurant with simple menu. Various platos combinados, say chicken leg, peppers, chips and a good salad, incl desert, (flan, ice-cream, fruit), bread, water, cheese at start 9 euros. 15 euro you get a starter - brocolli soup is good and wine. Various breakfast options. Set breakfast is 5 euro. Plate of ham cheese sausages with toast coffee / chocolate jams butter. More than enough. The lady who checked us in, cooked and served dinner, breakfast was laid out for us, and she checked us out. Quietly getting on with all these functions for us and others all at the same time - just her !! Very efficient, unflustered and friendly. Pool is big enough and welcome before dinner after 11h in car. You can eat when you like between c19-22 and 07-10. We pre-ordered for 1930 and 0730 which worked well. We were on the road at 0750 feeling well rested, fed and ready for the day. A good stopover en route uk-portugal,. And for those doing the Camino del SJ which passes 150 metres away. Well stay here again. Much more interesting than new hotels in towns/cities.

Room was warm, appreciated tub/shower arrangement. Felt like the former Dona was still on the premises. Very gracious feel to the place.
