Casa Cantadora

If you have the chance stop here for breakfast /stay! Everything home made, so much choice we didn’t know where to look, bread from the over and yogurt with fruits. Candles,comfy cushions. Camino magic. Thank you Knut!!

Lovely stay but I stayed on 7/26 and think I encountered bed bugs. I notified the owners

My wife and I had an amazing stay at Knut’s albergue. This was the first albergue where it felt more like staying in someone’s home. The food was all homemade and delicious. The beds had real sheets, real pillowcases, and quilted blankets. There was a river in the backyard to soak your feet in or swim. For €15 I thought it was one of the better values for a private albergue. The bathrooms were clean, there is a place to hand wash clothes. The dinner was very tasty but light on protein. The breakfast was great.

This is a lovely albergue with eastern-style, new-age decor. The dorms ad bathroom were nice and modern.
But I walked in out of the rain and so asked for newspaper to dry my boots. They didn’t have any. I was told that I didn’t need any, that the heat overnight would dry my boo. It didn’t. They focus on all sorts of psychic healing, but they should consider basic physical needs first, like having dry boots.

This place is quite unique. As we entered the Albergue we could immediately feel a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The house is full of positive energy. The source of this energy comes first and foremost from the the owner who has made this Albergue to something very special. You feel love everywhere and in all the details. Beds are great and the food is delicious based on many local ingredients. You will not be disappointed on this part for sure. Breakfast was without any doubt the best we have had on the whole Camino. Try it out - you will not be disappointed.

This albergue has a beautiful interior. And there is a nice river in the back where you can dip your feet in the water.
It is however overpriced as it costs quite a bit of money in comparison to what you get, 15 euros for a bed, 15 for dinner and 10 for breakfast.
The bed was nice, not amazing, the dinner was okay, not great, and the breakfast too expensive.

It was stated that there was a mediation or reflection, but when we stayed there was nothing as apparently the owner didn’t feel like it that day…

From the moment you walk in the door you will feel calm and relaxed, no matter how far you’ve walked. The rooms and beds fantastic. Dinner and breakfast delicious and there is an inviting courtyard garden, a creek to soak your tired feet at the back of the property, meditation at 8pm and a very friendly helpful owner. I highly recommend this stop.

Amazing stay! Very relaxing and zen like. Amazing dinner that was full of flavor! After dinner we enjoyed some meditation. You could join in or not. But definitely recommend joining in. Highly recommend staying here!

Such a sanctuary on the camino. Very warm welcome, lovely rooms beautifully laid out. Relaxing garden and area by the river. Food was excellent. Very peaceful, slept really well.
Optional meditation at 8pm. Breakfast was well worth it!

I can highly recommend you to stay at Casa Cantadora if you want to stop somewhere around Ambasmestas. It have been one of my best Camino experiences so far. Really nice and cozy place. Knut the owner is an amazing host and cook delicious food. He and the house are a spiritually and there is meditation every night at 20. The location with a nice house and garden going down to the river where you can relax. It was fully renovated last year and this year is first year open, so it is also nice and in good condition.

And if it does not fit in your walk to stay there for the night, then stop by during the day. He serves delicious breakfast (yogurt with muesli, omelette and bread with several cheese options), lunch or coffee and cake in the garden or at the river.

This place is an oasis of peace and tranquility.

Beautifully designed and kitted out, spotlessly clean and also comes with a yoga/meditation space in the loft. There is a stream out back where you can take a dip after a long day’s walk.

Stay here if you can, you will not regret it!

The wonderful host does a communal evening meal and decent sized breakfast.

This is the sort of place you’d stay two days at.

My family of four has stayed at a lot of great albergues, but this is the best so far. The host was kind to our children, and we felt very welcomed.

The food was some of the best we have had on the Camino.

We would highly recommend a stay here.

This place is a true respite on the Camino. The owner was so caring and helpful. The place is situated on a river, and I was able to take a delightful dip after a hot day of hiking.
The food was splendid, deffinately don’t miss their delicious breakfast, and somehow even the bread there tastes better.
The best part though was the meditation at night. The owner leads a 45 minute, optional meditation for pilgrims in a room set up for meditation and relaxation.

Casa Cantadora in Ambasmetas should be om everyone's Camino bucketlist.
This place feels like paradis.
Knut the owner welcomes you with such warmth and kindness.
The food is homemade
It's next to the river, where tou can take a dip or swim.
Meditation after dinner is just peaceful.
My best recommendation to Knut & Casa Cantadora and my best camino stay.

Can’t say enough good things about this Albergue. Knut and all of the staff truly care about their guests and provide a calming, safe and beautiful space to gather and rest after a long day. The food is delicious and healthy, beds are comfy and there is even a cute cat that sleeps near the fireplace. Being able to dip my feet into the cold stream behind the garden was revitalizing. Can’t wait to come back on my next Camino!
