ALBERGUE "VILLA VIEIRA" — Hotel in Padrón

The hostel it self was great. Good furniture, nice bathrooms and included breakfast. However, I had a terrible expecience arriving there. I was traveling alone and I arrived early at this accomodation. A local old man entered in the exterior of the house right after me. I asked him if he works in the hostel and he said that he works there sometimes. He told me to go upstairs and went after me. I tried to open the door, and it was locked. At that place, the old man tried to touch and kiss me without my consent, and I had to push him to make him distant. Then, he left the house like nothing had happened. It was very scary. After a few minutes, I was able to talk with the clean lady that was inside the hostel. She called the hostel owners, and they came right away. According to them, the old man who harassed me has Alzheimer's disease. I agreed not to press changes against him in the police but I feel that I have the moral duty to communicate what happened in public, so this won't happen again with...

Easily one of our best stays on the Camino. We improvised our stop in A Escravitude as we decided to walk a bit further from Padron. We called Villa Viera which had two spots and it did not disappoint! Firstly, everything is spanking new and clean, the beds are super comfortable and have little curtains for privacy. The kitchen is super organised and you have fridges where foods and drinks are stocked, you pay by simply putting the cash in the cash box. Same for the washing/drying facilities. And how can we forget the swimming pool outside which was literally blessing after walking 27 km!!! Roberto is an incredible host and is doing a wonderful job with Villa Viera....

Absolutely spectacular hostel/hotel and the perfect place for your last stop along the Camino de Portuguese. The accommodation is brilliant, clean, modern, every small thing has been considered. But what I must call out above all else is the service... unfortunately I came down unwell on my last night and couldn't walk to Santiago this day - the owner, staff, cleaners, everyone was so kind, helping me in a very tight spot... brought literal tears to my eyes. It is clear they are passionate about the pilgrim experience and I will be eternally grateful. Do yourself a favour, walk the extra 5km past Padron, have a beautiful last night here, and an easy walk...
