Maria and Mum make this a special Albergue.

I stayed at Leo on 30th September.
Clean and spotless, amazing interiors.
The welcome and care Maria provided was without equal.
As we all know not all albergue are the same, this albergue puts many in the shade.
If you don’t stay or try to stay at Leo you have rocks on your head

Simply the best

Maria is an angel who took care of me because I am sick and injured. Mama made me hot lemon and ginger tea and I was given a private room to rest . Mama even offered you cook for me however I felt their generosity was beyond belief. The hostel is stunning the beds very comfortable with sheets provided. Current price is €15 and worth every penny.

AMAZING HOSTS

Arrived very tired and struggling from injury, hosts were so kind and helpful , cold lemon drink as so hot out , took my bag to beautiful airy room ,
As i not up to preparing food or going out , they kindly gave me lovely food they had.☺️
Best hosts so far by miles ☺️

María is an absolute angel

Truly cannot recommend this place enough! María is the kindest soul.
I became unwell, and my father and I needed to stay another night. I was unsure where best to seek medical help. When explaining the situation to the host María, she not only took me to the local hospital, but explained my situation to those there (I don’t speak any Spanish) and sat with me while we waited.
She made a stressful situation easy. I cannot express my gratitude enough.
More than that, the hostel is fabulous. Greeted with a lemon drink, high pressure showers, equipped kitchen, and a fire which is lit each evening to help dry clothes in the hall.

Fab Alburgue

Real sheets and pillowcases. Small kitchen if you want to cook. Really clean and great showers.
The owner is a lovely helpful woman, and on top of that it’s on a quiet street in the heart of town.
It’s definitely one of the best on the Camino.

23. October 2024 - 14:46

As good as recommended

First stay here although recommended for all of our 6 Caminos.
Warm and friendly reception. Laundry was washed, dried and folded!
No communal meal during our stay, but was recommended to a restaurant that was open ALL day, catering to hungry pilgrims.
I highly suggest you book and stay here!

One of my favorites!

This albergue was so cozy and special. The fire in the hallway with lots of places to hang wet things was wonderful. There is a spinner to get the water out of your clothes after washing so they’ll actually dry. Full kitchen. The host gave me a new backpack cover after finding out I had lost mine. This was one of my favorite stays on the Camino.

The only negative: there is no one place to put clothes or hang things when showering. There’s a real lack of privacy there, but at least the bathrooms are separated by gender.

An excellent stay.

This is our first time here, although we have tried on 5 other Caminos. It is no wonder that it is popular Albergue. Nothing but good here!
Warm welcome. Maria efficiently showed us around, told us which restaurant was open ALL DAY for food! The entire Albergue is charming and clean! Blanket for the very comfortable bunks. Lots of space for hanging rain gear, newspaper to stuff into wet shoes. Pellet stove was warm and cozy. Separate men’s and women’s bathrooms. Writing desk.
It is on the Camino- no getting lost.
Would highly recommend!

Beautiful Albergue. Warm and clean

This was a beautiful place to stay, there was a pellet fire keeping the sleeping quarters toasty and warm, plus providing a good spot to dry washing quickly. Facilities were clean and looked after (no toilet roll running out here) kitchen facilities available plus blankets. Wonderful place, kind hosts.

Wonderful stay!

Maria was the most amazing host, and this Albergue was just gorgeous. Very clean and the rooms were cosy and comfortable. You get fresh linen for the bunks which is such a nice added touch.
Maria spoke English and showed us a map of where things were, restaurants to eat at and even details of the wine and music festival happening in the town.

You can feel the love she and her mother put into this accommodation and it is well worth staying here ❤️

Loved this albergue with its internal courtyard

What a lovely, characterful place to stay, and the hosts so helpful too! Maria told us where we could shop before things shut down (it was Sunday and a fiesta day too). She also explained about the Mexican music that was being performed in the town square, so we went to that too. The hostel building is charming. It has an internal courtyard where you can sit to keep cool, or chat to other guests as they pass. We loved it all.

Great place

Very welcoming place, the owners are super sweet and happy to help you when you need it. Felt clean, good bathrooms, give you covers for your bunk bed… simple but good.

16. September 2024 - 18:27

Amazing place; Amazing staff!

Accommodations were above standard . Staff was amazing and helped me reset for next day. Really appreciated the attention as a solo pilgrim.

Recommended

Opened at 1pm not 12 as listed here, but was a pleasure to wait with a lemon water and the resident dog. Kind hospitaleras always looking for ways to make you feel looked after, and a beautiful building with several small dorms (mine was just 4 people/2 bunks).

27. May 2024 - 21:42

Simply great and WOW

This is the best Albergue on Camino Frances. You get such a warm welcome here, everything is very clean and well-kept, great facilities. Maria is a soul of a person you rarely find. She helps you in all matters, very great support.
I forgot my sticks and Maria organized a tranportation to my next accommodation. I am so grateful that I am allowed to be here.
Maria‘s mum made a excellent dinner, all fresh and incredients from her own garden, also good local wine. Be sure to stop by here. You will be amazed.

MUCHAS GRACIAS

A must stay

María is so welcoming. Speaks English. The atmosphere is awesome. Truly a place you must stay for a relaxing evening before your accent the next day.

24. May 2024 - 21:49

Loved Albegue Leo

Highly recommend staying here
I phoned a day ahead to book.
Was welcomed by Marua with a cool lemon water drink. Good beds with white linen sheets. Beds have their own light and charger. Clean, hot, modern showers. Wish I could stay for 2 nights
Just a short stroll to the plaza where everyone meets for drinks/meals

13. May 2024 - 20:29

would return again and again

Albergue Leo is a beautiful old family home offered to pilgrims by the ancestors of the original occupants, who very kindly look after pilgrim's needs. It was a lovely stay!

13. May 2024 - 7:14

Wonderful

Maria and her mother do great job of welcoming pelegrinos. The property is in top shape; clean, comfortable and spacious, I would come back in a heartbeat! Centrally located right down by the river, there are 3 supermarkets within an 8 minute walk of the Albergue. Maria, Muchas gracias!!!
