Ramuntcho is very nice.
My wife and I are wondering where to stay in St. Jean for a couple days prior to walking the Camino? We want to be fairly close to the starting point for the Camino, but also want to explore in St. Jean. We were thinking a bed & breakfast, but are open to suggestions and ideas??
I have stayed twice at Maison Donamaria.....Francois is a fantastic host. He lives right on the river. Breakfast is awesome. He is online. The house is a refurbished old stone house....so comfortable. He is soooo accommodating.My wife and I are wondering where to stay in St. Jean for a couple days prior to walking the Camino?

I stayed in two different hotels my first two caminos but now I always stay at albergue Beilari because of meeting other pilgrims at the community dinner and the host Joseph is so positive and loving. The hotels we're nice but the first one the staff spoke only french. And the second one we picked up the keys at a bar down the street and never saw another person at the hotel.My wife and I are wondering where to stay in St. Jean for a couple days prior to walking the Camino?

Yes! It was one of the best places I stayed during myCamino. Lovely house and Francois is so very accomodating!I have stayed twice at Maison Donamaria.....Francois is a fantastic host.

I too have stayed at other hotels / albergue. But my last two times I stayed at alb Beilari, so welcoming. A beautiful start to the Camino, and Joseph and his son are fantastic hosts and cooks.

However, that may be what you are looking for. Buen Camino
I have stayed at both Hotel Central and Hotel Itzalpea and both were good.

I would agree. and It's right on the Camino. well 10-20 paces from it!
I used that in 2015.
I planned to in 2018, but they cancelled my booking to make way for a tour group..........
Not best pleased.
My only salient ideas are to walk at a time of year when the groups are less active, try another route, or (least preferable to me) is to suck it up and stay in albergues. My personal issue is not catching a bronchial illness. I am susceptible.
Hope this helps the dialog.
