Monastery of Santa Maria in Armenteira

The property is set in a rural area surrounded by farms. Beautiful and serene surrounding.

Difficult to grade as we arrived quite late and left early. The issue we had was that messages were not being delivered regarding check-in from the hotel. There is a note on the Expedia system that says "staff may not be available and check-in codes will be provided". We never received such codes and as such panicked calls were needed by us to Expedia on the day of arrival. They couldn't get in touch with anyone here and we were left wondering what might happen. Finally we spoke to someone who assured us someone would be there to help when we arrived at around 8pm. From then on it was fine, although the door key didn't work initially. Staff that greeted us were pleasant.

The very best feature of this hotel was a full sized bathtub in the room. I don't know whether all rooms have one, but after a long day on the Camino, being able to properly soak myself was blissful. The hotel itself is old but fine. Clean and somewhat updated.
