Casa Os Prados da Albela

I love everything about it. This property was just outstanding. The place was the best in our travels through Spain. It was modern with nice design. Beautiful country setting just outside of Tricastella. Theresa, the owner, is so friendly and helpful. She is willing to pick you up on the Camino, take you to dinner in town, etc. Breakfast choices were wonderful. Her home is just across the street from this property. She give you a very nice tour of the home and amenities available.

What a beautiful way to spend a night on the Camino. Teresa picked me up in town, gave me a short tour, then drove me 10 min to her property. Serene, modern stone cottage with two beds, kitchen & everything you need.

Everything was perfect.

The property is special. It is a super charming country cottage with all modern amenities. 2 miles off the Camino, a wonderful getaway from the routine of the usual route. Decorated to perfection and exceptionally clean. Wonderful bed, bedding, bathroom and fully equipped kitchen stocked with an abundance of fruit, bread, cheese, ham, yogurt, cereal and milk and more!

This place is a dream! The cottage is much nicer than the pictures suggest and it was the perfect location for our explorations in the Os Ancares. We had some rain, and even one day of snow, but the cottage was a comfortable, cozy place to wait out the weather. Teresa is extremely kind and generous; she left us fresh local cheese, a loaf of bread, wine, and fruit. The house was very clean, well-equipped, well-functioning, and not fussy. Our only regret was that it wasn't warm enough to sit outside on the patio--the view of the mountains and fields is stunning.

Can't imagine what could have made the stay better.

Casa Os Prados was a wonderful oasis that is only 8 minutes drive off the Camino. It was everything a Camino traveller could want… comfortable, clean and with every amenity.

I loved it all!

Although the location was 3.8 km from the Camino route it was one of the best stays we had on our Camino. Teresa offered to pick us up in Triacastela but I was cycling and Anne was walking. We arrived earlier than anticipated and hiked to the property which is situated on farm land in the teeniest of villages 10 houses only). The building has been converted from an old farm house to a modern, tastefully renovated home. The property had all amenities, is private and quiet and set in the loveliest of rural farm land with views over the mountains in the distance and the farms close by. Teresa offered to take us to Triacastela to have dinner there and pick us up again but also gave us an option to buy local cheeses, iberico ham and wine from the region at cost. She supplied fresh bread, butter, jam, coffee, teas and hot chocolate as well as yoghurt, milk and other offerings. We opted for a feast at home and were happy to enjoy the peace and quiet. It really was a tranquil escape from the steadily increasing hustle and bustle of the Camino and allowed us to relax, meditate and be one with nature. To be honest, I so enjoyed this stay I want to go back for a longer period. Teresa helped us get our backpacks from Triacastela which we forwarded on Jacotrans, but which was left in a bar in Triacastela because Jacotrans does not veer of the “Way”, the Standard Camino route. She also helped to arrange transport for the backs on our departure date and dropped Anne and the bags off in Triacastela while I cycled the short distance. As a final farewell Teresa gave Anne a quick guided tour of Triacastela in her car and then sent us off with her best wishes for the rest of the Camino.

I initially thought being nearly 4 km off the route would be a problem but it was actually a blessing in disguise.

Teresa is the best host I ever met during my camino. She is open, friendly and helpfull. The house is just amaizing, all details are well renovated. The house is 4 km away of Camino, however it is not a problem becouse I was driven to the house from Triacastela and than in the morning Teresa took me back to Camino. The fact that is away of Camino I actually concider as a positive thing becouse after a long day of walking all I needed was a peace and quiet place where I can relax just on my own.
