This looks like a lovely new albergue.
We were offered a room for 10 people and two private rooms with a double bunk that has a double bed at the bottom and a single on top - with private bathroom - for 8 euro!

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
I can thoroughly recommend this auberge, which is run by a very nice young couple from Madrid who have long had a dream to give something back to the Camino. They did almost all the renovation work to make it an auberge themselves - great job. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxed and the facilities good. We stayed there two days and enjoyed the auberge and Villafranca very much. I certainly plan to go back there at some stage.

David, when did you stay at the alb de la Piedra? I will be there tonight April 20.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

I was there at the beginning of last november. It was by far the best albergue I stayed. A lovely welcome with tea and a good conversation with the owner. Good breakfast and plenty of room in the dorm.
 
I stayed there again last night for the third time. The same very good standard than before. So peaceful to fall asleep in the sound of the river.
