Albergue For Sale

[pinkwadingbird]

For those who dream about owning an albergue on the Camino Frances, it seems there's at least one option available for you at the moment. Yesterday in Villafranca del Bierzo we passed by the Albergue de la Piedra which is Se Vende. Don't know any of the details but if owning an albergue is on your bucket list, here's your chance.

That isn't the Albergue de la Piedra http://alberguedelapiedra.com/ it's just somewhere they stuck their advert.

The place that is se vende http://www.berrocall.com/11177-CASA_EN_VENTA_EN_VILLAFRANCA DEL BIERZO.php would make an "excellent project for a keen DIY'er"

I was saying WOW!! What a great location!

Yes, the real place for sale looks like a fixer upper.

Very keen DIY'er, I suspect....

Can see the evidence of rising damp before you get in the front door....

Thank you @Tincatinker !

My heart dropped to my socks upon reading the original post. They are such a lovely young couple and put so much sweat and artistic sensitivity into building 'la Piedra'. It was a high point of my Camino in Fall 2017.

I am very pleased that they have not been routed out by current conditions.

Loved our time in Villafranca del Bierzo! It is such a nice little town. Have been looking at places in Spain since we got back. Their website is still active

They did sell the other place, Hostal El Cruce, but not La Piedra.

For those who didn't see my post. they DID sell the other hostal, Hostal El Cruce, but not Piedra.
I only know because I booked my group with the new owner of El Cruce this season.

Thank you for this post. I know of one Albergue and one casa rural along the French way in stage 23- If you have an interest, send me direct message and I can follow up with owners and connect you to them.

Buen Camino
