The Hotel itself was really nice and well located for walking The Camino - However we did not have a pleasant experience at reception. The lady was not very pleasant and unfriendly. We also got some laundry done and again the lady on reception (different Lady) was quite unpleasant. Breakfast was not a pleasant experience - did not start to 8am and everyone came at once and we had to sit in a separate seating area as there was no room available. Very chaotic and not a lot of choice

This gem is an absolute 10 !!!
It was a privilege staying there . At one side the mountain , at the other side the sea and in front a beautiful garden with a lovely pool!
But the ace in this hotel is Sofia , the lady who runs the place with kindness and effectiveness!
Thank you Sofia we will always remember your smile and your positive energy 🙏
It was a little bit out of the Camino, but it was worth it.

We had a great time at Casa Bella!
This loft is just beautiful!! Big space, comfortable and with a very artistic design - we felt very inspired when sitting on the sofa and looking around :)
The bathroom is well equipped and the shower has a lot of area.
The bed is a 10/10!! Very large and really - REALLY - comfortable!
Enjoyed a gifted little snack and coffee before we left for the camiño, that passes just by the door of the house! Wow!!
Also great communication with the host for the check-in/check-out process.
Thank you!

Nice old world type of resort very Spanish and authentic Spanish fishing village / small town with a nice harbour and old town area. On the Camino trail so lots of walking routes plus Mt Tecla to view the area from the top.

An unexpectedly attractive town with beautiful harbour and nearby mountain. Lanes often steep and narrow so car driving tricky but possible. Plenty of restaurants and a bakery offering very good breakfasts. A walk up to the castle above the town was enjoyable.
My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights while walking a comino through A Guarda. Every element of our stay from check in to leaving was a pleasant experience. The Bookings pictures don't capture the tidiness of the apartment or the fantastic view of the harbour and waterside town. Very quiet at night, no problem sleeping with windows open, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen for 2 people. Great value if spending more than 1 night. Being non- Spanish speakers, sincere thanks to the lady that checked us in and out - she was very patient.
My stay at the apartment couldn’t have been more pleasant. The photos don’t do this magical place justice. There is a lot of space and everything was in perfect condition. The owners were generous and helpful throughout and we are already planning on staying there again!
Some advice if you are looking to stay there, the address doesn't work properly on Google maps and Uber doesn't function in the area so go to the Taxi stop outside Froiz supermarket in A Guarda and ask a taxi driver to take you to the address.
Location was incredible - totally worth the 30 minute walk from the port to get there!
Rooms are not super upgraded but that adds to the charm.
Hotel staff was amazing and so super helpful! 5 stars for the over the top effort of both of the people working the front desk during my stay.
The whole place is reminiscent of family resorts from the 50s with a luxury dining area, lovely patio restaurant, and nice rooms with comfy beds, all right on the beach.
In a good spot near the small beach/harbour - A Guarda is pretty small so almost everything is! The property was clean and tidy with helpful, friendly staff. Decent facilities including a functional kitchen and good shower facilities. It's low priced basic, functional accommodation primarily for people on the Camino.
Everything about the hotel was great! Our room included the spa tub and shower which were both very welcome after 120 km of walking. The decor throughout was very interesting and the nightly glass of Port wine was a pleasant surprise (and delicious).
Breakfast was great. Served a bit of cake that was homemade, and drank cafe at the bar of the hotel. Everyone working there was super friendly. Love the location by the square, close to everything. Bathroom and beds were clean and comfortable.
It was unique hotel, relaxing sitting areas, comfortable accommodations, super beds, excellent showers, free port and cake, and fantastic food. Staff was accommodating and helpful. They even provided options for food allergies.
What a perfect place to spend a few days. Super little apartment fully equipped
Great garden with sun all day
Parking right at the door
And a great place to get around La Guarda
A really good spot for walking and cycling
Our room was a good size with a good bath and a separate shower.
The bed was comfy.
Location was good, close to the town centre, restaurants and to the Camino trail. The hotel did laundry for us within a few hours.
It was a gorgeous hotel. The room smelt incredible and we walked in. The view from the balcony was incredible. Beautiful but remote location. The check in and out was easy and professional. The hotel was very clean
The hotel sits on the Camino route so it was a perfect location. Nice room comfortable and very good value. Breakfast was excellent and included the best coffee so far on our trip.
It was along the Camino and its location was convenient. The hotel room has the old vibe charm and was pretty quiet. The bed was comfortable. The staff were very helpful and kind.
The staff was very nice and helpful. Clean. For a simple, basic hotel though, it was very overpriced. It was one of the very few available in town at that time.
