Las Doñas del Portazgo

Room was delightful with a comfortable bed, lovely en-suite and good temperature in the room thanks to the aircon. Breakfast was a simple Continental breakfast but served in style with great service for coffee and other requests. Located in a delightful part of Villafranca del Bierzo just on the Calle del Agua. The ladies on the reception desk were wonderfully helpful, perfect receptionists.

For parking, we were fortunate that someone was leaving the roadside parking just outside the hotel. If not, parking might have been a problem, possibly a distance from the hotel but I cannot be certain of that.

Elegantly decorated, kind and welcoming staff, generous textiles feel luxurious in this mountain town setting after a 22Km trek with full pack on a sunny winter’s day. The bed was comfortable, the soak in a shallow warm bath absolutely decadent. Directions given to the Plaza Mayor in search of a snack and a cold beverage while enjoying a rare day of bright sunshine. Breakfast options were abundant and I felt spoiled with a place set for me in the side dining room. A true gem along the Camino.

Kind, friendly and very helpful staff. Nice, big room with a great view. Good place to relax for a day or two. Bath with plug. Laundry facility. Nice breakfast. Good location.

No evening meals in the hotel, though there are excellent restaurants nearby - ask hotel staff or locals. Laundry was not returned to my room - I had to ask for it. There can be some communication problems unless you speak good Spanish, although the staff are lovely and will always do their best.

This building and our room were really lovely. There were electrical sockets in good locations. We had our private space and bathroom and it was nice. The receptionist was so nice.

The room we had was really tiny and there were no places to put things. We had a very long, rainy day of walking on the Camino Frances and we really needed more space to spread out and dry our things. We checked in a bit later than most people, and were left standing outside a while before someone came to the door.

From the moment we entered the hotel, the friendly greeting of the staff, the efficient check-in, beautiful room, good, central location, everything was excellent! The hotel is right on the Camino, the following morning we just had to cross a bridge and were back on track. Fantastic views from our room too!! Will be back in September, and look forward to it already!

Nothing to not like, everything was excellent!

The property itself is fascinating from a historical perspective… and so incredibly comfortable! The staff - check in and in the morning… are the kindest I have met (& I have met many kind people this trip). Location was perfect to leave for Camino in morning

Nothing- everything exceeded expectations

It was one of my favorite hotels on the Camino so far. it’s clean, conveniently located on the Camino, and full of Spanish charm. The breakfast buffet was lovely and the staff were kind and helpful.

I got there late and there was no way to do laundry. For dinner, you had to go to out into town. For some reason, my GPS sent me astray into the opposite side of the town. A Spanish grandma had to redirect me.

Charming old world small hotel. Very comfortable, quiet, and nicely decorated right on the camino. Large counter in the bath - appreciated by my wife. Great buffet breakfast.

Not a lot of evening eating options in the immediate area but Villafranca is not a large town.

The best hotel in all camino and i did 3 routes in a row! The do very good laundry! The breakfast is good The service is amazing And the residents are so pretty special and clean very good standard and style… I will come back for sure!!!

Beautifully appointed room with tiled bath. Plush monogrammed linens, great breakfast full of delicious, nutritious food items to get us down the trail. The staff cooked us eggs which were velvety smooth. Orange juice is fresh squeezed. Staff was friendly and courteous. The quaint town is very historic and worthy of a days visit. It has a beautiful castle.

nothing I didn’t like.
