This should be all you need. I can[t give you any first hand information because I walked through long before it was open. The real problem with the day between Sao Joao and Porto is the amount of asphalt. I know others who hopped on a bus to avoid it. I didn't, but my feet paid the price.

I stayed there in June 2016 and I was the only one there. The caretaker lives next door and you will need to get him to open the gates for you. His wife supplied a lovely dinner at their house for 6 euros.
The caretaker does not speak english but I found the albergue excellent.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I stayed there on July 5 this year, and was the only one there. There was no problem getting in and I managed to communicate with the caretaker despite my lack of Portuguese. The facilities there were fine and I was certainly glad I had decided to break up the Sao Joao to Porto stage.
