Hostal Santa Maria do Poio

“What a wonderful place to stay after a day of walking the Camino de Santiago. Or just to have a drink or coffee. The staff was amazing, always smiling and making sure you're having a good time. I forgot to take pics of the bedroom, however, the sheets, towels, and bathroom were clean and spotless. I'd recommend for anyone who wants to interact with locals, eat and drink well, and sleep. Muchas gracias amigos!”

“The owner is a very nice and kind man, he offered us the breakfast, showed us his farm animals and introduced us to one of his dogs The rooms are ok, simple but overall clean. Nothing fancy but had a good sleep. We were the only guests in the house, together with another man, and the lady managing the place cooked us a tasty dinner - with a vegetarian option for me :)”

“Great service - both hostesses were fantastic! A great place after hiking up all the elevation of O'cebrerio and onwards and upwards to Alto do Poio. A good dinner and rooms. Bathroom had a bit of a smell to it, but that was insignificant to us.”

“It was a pleasure to stay here after a long day on the Camino. We called ahead to reserve a room and the owner turned the radiator on to ensure our room was warm for us…he even greeted us outside as we approached the village. Our food was fantastic; all local cuisine and he made an excellent vegetarian plate, as well. The owner was so welcoming and warm! I highly recommend this stop for a true hospitable stay.”
