Hotel Rural LA VELETA — Hotel in Astorga

This place isn't just a wonderful stop-over place for hikers on the 'Camino' but also a very comfortable and welcoming place for people interested in staying longer. We spent a couple of days here and absolutely loved it. It's a small and very cute B&B located in a tiny village (also very cute) well positioned if you plan to do day trips in the area - e.g. visiting villages on the 'Camino' or nearby León. Our private room was spacious and clean - something we really value since we have a small baby (and obviously carry a lot of luggage).||||Dori runs the place with the help of her daughter Vanessa and they are the most friendly hosts ever. They make sure you have everything you need, provide great tips for exploring the region and they even let us use their kitchen so we could prepare meals for our baby daughter. Oh, and Dori cooks wonderful dinners too. We'll be coming back here some...

While walking the Camino, we chose Murias de Rechivaldo to avoid the busy city and enjoy a smaller town experience. La Veleta is conveniently located, right along the way. The host is very friendly (Spanish only) and the building is lovely - quaint, clean and very comfortable. There is a bar very conveniently located across the street, and a good restaurant nearby. Breakfast was included with the room and was very good in a nice dining area. This is a very pleasant little town and so nice for an evening walk. The only negative was that the internet service was slow and unreliable. Regardless, I would certainly recommend this accommodation - it is not very far beyond busy Astorga and provides a lovely respite. Slightly higher price compared to some of the accommodation we used, but very pleasant and the price did include a nice breakfast, so good...

We spent one night here while walking the Camino and it was great. We spent the morning exploring Astorga then walked the few kms out to Rechivaldo. The owner of this B&B is very gracious and made us feel perfectly at home. She even got up early and had breakfast for us at 6:30 am so we could get an early start before it got too hot. Our room was spotlessly clean, cozy, with classic details, comfortable beds, and a lovely balcony. We were on the side nearest the busy road but it was very quiet at night. Definitely a good option if you want to be near Astorga but have all the benefits of a small charming village. Our hostess recommended a nearby restaurant that served food all day, including a €10...
