Quite surprised to find such luxury in a small village. I was disappointed when we couldn’t locate accommodations in Astorga. We enjoyed the beautiful home, quiet atmosphere, lovely seating. Extraordinary views, comfortable room, modern shower and excellent indoor air quality. Clean. Well managed. Good breakfast.

Correction - he just charged us for the clothes washing

This place is a little gem, hidden away in this tiny town. I’m so glad we chose to stay here, the owner is so friendly and helpful. He washed our clothes at no extra charge. The room was delightful, good shower, super soft towels and own brand bathroom products.

Breakfast starts from 7am and is well worth indulging in before you head off on the trail. The room you have breakfast in is a sight to behold, lovingly restored using natural materials and bird themed decorations - every room has its own bird name and reasoning behind it.

€80 for a double room. Money well spent if you ask me :)

Hotel Vía Avis was absolutely one of our favorite spots on the whole Camino! The owners, Carlos and his wife, were warm and welcoming. They spent many years building this lovely Hotel Rural, creating a unique and delightful haven. Carlos' wife is an architect, and demonstrated a beautifully unique architectural style when designing the place. We stayed in the Owl Room. It was so charming, so quaint, so different. Very clean and comfortable. The adjacent common area had spectacular views across the valley. We could have stayed here for a month! It was a welcome place to rest and renew. And the town itself is just delightful, with its homes of rock with brightly painted doors and windows. We loved everything about the town and this hotel. We highly recommend that you stay here if you can while on your Camino....Ami & Rick, May 17, 2024

The home, truly it is a home, and beautifully done. There are very strong efforts of attention to detail. The decor is impecable and the vistas into the countryside are great. I would go there just to rest and relax. The owners are wonderful. True hosts.

Perfect place to 'upgrade' for one night of luxury, yet in a true Camino spirit, this sounds contradictory but is really true. The owners are kind lovely warm people who have created a haven of peace and tranquillity. Ensuite rooms, with a separate living area and various courtyard hideaway spots. Breakfast served (from 7) included in price and itself worth staying for.
No dinner, but 1 mins walk to two albergue restaurants. Santa Catalina is itself a tranquil lively spot and the views (from Via Avis and the village) magnificent.

An absolute haven of peace and beauty. I cannot fault a single thing. The best bed I have slept in in years. Great shower, salon with views across to the mountains and with an honesty bar kettle and snacks.
Unbelievable breakfast!
The hosts could not be more welcoming and gracious. This was just wonderful. Sad to leave.

One of the most comfortable and restful places we have stayed. For the small amount more than some, it is well worth it. Our room was spacious, the shower was great, and we enjoyed the salon with afternoon sun and beautiful views. I was sad to leave and would stay again in a heartbeat
