Viña Femita. Hotel, Albergue y Restaurante — Hotel in Villafranca del Bierzo

Another Albergue I wish I could give 6 out of 5! |I can’t begin to tell you how amazing this place was, the best albergue on my camino! ||The owners were friendly and bent over backwards to ensure my stay was enjoyable. ||The rooms were comfortable and clean, modern and cozy. ||I enjoyed having fresh linen and the individual bedside lamps were a nice touch. ||Showers were great and the laundry was good (maybe needs more than one of each machine for busy periods). ||The communal dinner was a highlight, Juan’s mother cooked - they did vegetarian versions for me as everything had meat and fish in. The food was delicious and don’t get me started on the wine. ||Sleep was good, everyone was respectful and there are notices up. ||This albergue is a must if you are calling at Villafranca on your Camino....

Viña Femita is deserves all the stars I can possibly rate it, then more and more. The hospitalero, Juan, is an exemplar in generosity, he opens his polished establishment to sweaty peregrinos and provides fine service to each and every one. It's impossible to highlight all of the pleasures that exist here, but they include: ✅ single beds, not bunks ✅ clean white sheets and cozy blankets ✅ warm-hued lamps next to each bed ✅ hanging racks in the dormitory ✅ hot-hot showers ✅ dinner and breakfast, both the food and service are top-notch ✅ smiles all around and amazing details like remembering/using your name after check-in

After a night at Viña Femita I am totally spoiled, Juan has absolutely raised the standard for what an albergue and/or hotel can offer. A million thanks for this...

There were adequate accommodations for an albergue. The provided fluffy comforters and real sheets were a very nice added touch. The A/C mentioned on here was not on so it was a bit toasty as the girl sleeping closest to the window shut the only door that could provide ventilation... The laundry area was a bit lacking as well as far hand washing options and drying racks. HOWEVER for the price and for the host, Juan, alone it is worth your stay. He shook our hands and welcomed us, something not common in the past month of stays. He seems to genuinely enjoy his work. He was also our server for dinner and it was probably one of the most memorable dinner experiences. All set backs aside, I would highly recommend...
