Classy and quiet stay near The Silent Route

My daughter (25) and I were doing The Silent Route in 2 days and decided to stay in this great place/ Wonderful stay in this lovely monastery. Follow the eating times (09:00 for breakfast and 21:00 for cena) and you can also have great food. Highly recommended.

Magnificent architecture, impressive working monastery. Ringing of church bells for services were an additional and novel experience. Unusual breakfast organisation which added to the monastic ambience. No television.

Ideal para alejarse del estrés

Es un monasterio mercedario activo, que admite huéspedes. La experiencia es muy positiva. Las habitaciones son amplias, la comunidad es muy amable, la comida está bastante bien. Está en medio del campo, con agradables paseos para hacer. Es un sitio para tomarse unos días y descansar de verdad.

Recomedable 100%

Excelente experiencia. El monasterio es digno de conocer, encierra mucha historia y maravillas arquitectonicas. El personal, muy amable y servicial. Las habitaciones son muy austeras, pero creo que es lo que busca quien llega alli. En nuestro caso fue el final perfecto para la ruta del silencio en moto. No dudeis de quedaros

Escapada que valió la pena

El monasterio es precioso y está en una ubicación con una naturaleza maravillosa. Fue una experiencia distinta y especial. Los curas son muy amables y muy simpáticos, me hicieron sentir muy bien acogida. El pueblo de Estercuel, aunque es pequeñito, tiene cosas que ver y la gente es muy agradable.

Liked: Cleanliness

Es un monasterio, no un hotel al uso.

Es un monasterio, un hospedaje para meditar, con una habitación básica, cena frugal a plato fijo, y desayuno insuficiente. Me parece que la persona encargada de recepción es falta de dotes para estar en ese puesto.

What a wonderful stay! This is a very unique opportunity to stay in an active Monastery. The grounds are buildings are beautiful and well preserved. The room was simple, but spacious and very comfortable. The Friars are warm and welcoming; they welcome participation in prayers and services, though there is no expectation to do so. I booked the option with half board, and the meals were delicious. Overall I really enjoyed this stay and found it to be a unique cultural experience; it was one of the highlights of my trip to Spain, and I would highly encourage anyone to take advantage of the opportunity to stay here!
