A lot of the sites on google say they are on it, but are actually 10km away
No? What's happened to Maria and her brother?As far as I know Albergue El Pilar in Rabanal del Camino is still up for sale.
Buen Albergue, SY
We are looking for a property on the camino de santiago. Any suggestions or ideas. A lot of the sites on google say they are on it, but are actually 10km away. We may be opening an Albergue but we may just open our house to pilgrims to stop for a cup of tea. So we will consider anything in any region. Just struggling to find properties.

Can I suggest spending some time as a hospitalero before commiting? There's a vast difference between walking the Camino and working on the Camino.
If you go ahead (and good luck to you if you do) search for a decent gap between existing facilities . . . . oh, and start thinking about what your sello will be!
We had a such a good time and at such a reasonable expense in O Cebreiro. The people were marvelous! And the cheeses? Fantastic!Somewhere I saw that Albergue Maralotx in Cirauqui was for sale. I stayed there in 2009 and thought it was lovely.
I'd love to see a private albergue open in O Cebreiro! Considering how saturated some areas are, I've always been surprised nothing has opened there, though maybe there is a good reason (no properties available or somesuch).
However the restaurant near the main roadway has very poor service - especially at breakfastWe had a such a good time and at such a reasonable expense in O Cebreiro. The people were marvelous! And the cheeses? Fantastic!
There is something great about making people stay a memorable experience
Check the Spanish TROVIT site for properties to rent or buy. You'll have to specify the region/town of your interest.
The subject of buying an albergue on this Forum has been on discussion since 2014.
Even if they are, will that world class cook be included?The absolutely best run albergue on the camino frances is La Casa Magica in Villatuerte:

They really understand what the pilgrim needs.
They were reputedly up for sale not so long ago . . . . maybe they still are?

There are several Albergues for sale on a website called thinkspain.com including one in Samos, and one in TriacastellaI walked the Camino in May and as a sort of 'Proprty nerd' always had my eye open for things for sale. I saw literally dozens of properties with for sale signs the vast majority in a fairly ruinous state but with huge potential. My advice would be to choose a few locales that you are particularly taken with ideally go there and sit in a bar and start asking. Looking for property in Spain on the Internet is actually quite hard work but there are a few sites that do work. Try kyero.com who have very comprehensive listings. Not sure that searching with the words Camino or Albergue will really help. Best of luck.

Nothing serious as far as I know, I think they are simply thinking about an exit strategy when they grow older. The sign was already up as I passed there in 2014, seems there is no real urgency, just an exploring of their possibilities.

The sign was up,when I stayed there in 2012! Clearly an illiquid business. For some reason I learned they were asking for 800k€ at the time, or at least that's what I remember.
Stayed in Albergue Maralotx in 2013 and just happened to notice in a town a little further in an estate agents window that it was for sale. The quoted price then was €600,000 !
