A classic adobe house right on the camino in a dusty, friendly little meseta town, fixed-up to a holiday-home standard. Garden out back, parking. Next to the church, steps away from the plaza, bar, and albergue.
How many of you would realistically consider taking a short or long-term rental of such a place?
What would you require?

Not warm and sunny perhaps, but the Meseta can be beautiful in December. Bright, crisp, frosty mornings, but with that special winter light and melancholic feel.I'm not sure if I would have been interested in being on the meseta ... it was mid december and I had in mind something warm and sunny like cabo del gatos.
Would require perhaps veggies/bread/fruit to prepare own mealsI would welcome staying there to heal !Hubby and I got to stage 5 (Puerta la Reina) from sSt JPdP then I had retinal detachment and had to late night taxi back to Pamplona for emergency surgery... 3-4 wks to heal here, as gas bubble in me eye I can't elevate more than 300 ft. We are enjoying Pamlona! I believe I am blessed for being here with wonderful Dr and a very relaxing city to heal in. Of course wish we could do entire Cino, but very hopeful that we can bus to Sarria and continue to Santiago... god willing.
I would probably consider a short term rental during the off-winter months. The fully equipped unit should have at least 1 bedroom with bathroom (hot water), a kitchen and washroom, sitting room, storage space and perhaps car parking. There must be an internet connection (or WiFi) and cable TV. Rates should be all included (water, electric, etc.).How many of you would realistically consider taking a short or long-term rental of such a place? What would you require?
This is an idea we are kicking around -- there's a place for sale and we are considering saving one of the last adobes in town, but we don't really need two houses!
(and we would need a visionary architect, for starters.)
The Peaceable is NOT for rent, at least not yet!
I think this idea sounds do-able and sustainable although it would require daily maintenance. The Albergue Nuestra Señora del Pilar in Rabanal del Camino comes to mind where my friend had a reservation for a private room. When it came time for me to walk over from the municipal albergue and find her, the reception clerk/hospitalero at the Pilar sent me out the front gate and around the corner to a house that had 4 bedrooms with comfortably furnished common areas. She was able to wash and dry her laundry during her stay at the house. There was bicycle storage available at the Pilar for the bicigrinos.On the Camino, I always looked for an albergue with private rooms. Often the extra rooms were in a house down the street. Maybe there is scope for you to set this up in Moratinos?

Ha ha! Alas my days of morning (or indeed evening) cervezas are behind me unless they're 'sin alcohol'. I'm with you in spirit, though....you were really calling to my favorite time of day when I have my first frosty cerveza in the morning. Add to that an adobe with patio...and I'm there.
I would be willing to show people the ropes, but would not want to compete directly with the existing Albergue and hostal. Thanks to all of you for your input.
If I had to do it all again, I would finish architecture school and apprentice myself to a builder. And I would hit the lottery.
I'd ditto all those except the TV. I felt liberated on the Camino without it. Possibly add a small freezer when there wasn't fresh produce aruond. As for the location, it works if you want solitude or need to "escape" the world but you can always escape to Leon or Burgos. Don't know what your ROI is though.I would probably consider a short term rental during the off-winter months.

18 years ago Annakappa and I researched the country we went to live in with a stringent set of requirements before we chose our location.This would be a holiday let, a week at a time or so. My own house on the other end of town is still open for pilgrims who need a place to stay for just a night. It is not even bought or built yet, I am just sounding out the market[...]
Ah, but all you'd have to do for that is to talk to the locals! That way you'll get feed back, instead of "fed up"!Lots of foreigners may appreciate watching TV-channels in Spanish to brush up their knowledge
Yes, and you'll have a particular opportunity to also converse in Italian, German and even English.Ah, but all you'd have to do for that is to talk to locals
