You are somewhat limited by transportation access.

Sarria is well connected by bus and train. Its certainly possible to walk the 115 km to Santiago in 5 days.

You've got your answers above, but... (just to make some waves here )
Doing only the last 100s km on the Camino Francés in June or September, are you sure? It's a bit... (how can I gently put it?) ...crazy! Nice walk and experience anyway, but the craziest part of all the numerous Caminos de Santiago! I'd say reservation is a must if you chose this path. Pack up patience and zen attitude too
If you're still considering what, where and how, what about the Camino Ingles (120km starting from Ferrol), the Camino Portuguese (120km from Tui; 100km from Vigo) or the Camino Sanabres (105km from Ourense)? All doable in 5 days and reaching Santiago at the end... and way more peaceful!
Buen preps an Camino whatever your choice

Well I appreciate your answer, it is very helpful to see different points of view. However, while planning to walk the Camino I am lost if it is better to have a quite and peaceful experience or it is better to meet other pilgrims and live the whole thing. What to do you advise?

Listen to your inner voice
Nothing is better or worse and all is right... You may have many advise and projections of others' pilgrim on what to do or not, but at the end, the choice is yours. Hear and read opinions here and there, question answers you get and at the end, always listen to your heart.
There are ways to walk a quiet and peaceful experience in a busy and noisy environment, just like you'll meet other pilgrims on the other Ways than the Francés.
It will be your own experience, the right one for you at the time you'll walk the Camino...
Whatever your choice, you will live the whole thing!
