"If you are walking the Camino, this a wonderful, short detour and well worth it for the comfortable bed and lovely pool! We took a 6 euro uber from caminha centre and enjoyed such a lovely, luxury stay during our camino. The location is so peaceful and quiet and the pool did wonders for our aching bodies! Our hosts were so helpful and kind and the standard of accommodation was fantastic. We were leaving early the next day but we were sent on our way with the most amazing breakfast. We were sad...
