Hotel San Camilo

Fantastic hotel reception staff very friendly and helpful room clean and tidy very comfortable bed did not have the evening meal but had the breakfast hot and cold food to choose from great

What an excellent place to stop off when driving to or from the ports of northern Spain, especially If you’ve got dogs. Easy to find just off the AP68, amazing grounds fenced safe and extensive. Restaurant more a cafeteria but attentive caring humorous service. Friendly staff and excellent value huge portions simple spanish food. Lovely local wine and nice cold beer. Rooms comfortable enough with bath and shower, air conditioning and a little fridge. Ok so rooms are a little tired and need some tlc but it’s a huge building this will be an expensive job. Dogs absolutely loved the grounds for a morning and evening run. Next time I’m staying for longer to take in some or the numerous nearby bodegas and mooch in town only 500m away.

Once again myself and my not so little pooch GSD Winnie stayed over on our way to Bilbao for the ferry back to uk from Moraira on the Costa Blanca. Firstly it’s perfectly positioned to do the drive up in 7 hours including a couple of stops for walkies en route. You then have an hour give or take drive to Bilbao the next day which is easy and less stressful than trying to do it all in one stretch. I had the joy of a flat last year and so thankfully doing the big portion without the stress of a ferry at the end made changing a tyre in 30+ degrees heat and jacking up a ton and a half defender with dog in boot fully loaded a bit of fun and an achievement. The hotel grounds are amazing. Enclosed and perfect for doggy exercise. Lots of shade too. Must be the size of 8 football pitches, including 1 football pitch. (Please pick up after your pooch though and show the respect.) The rooms are great and en-suite with good AC. Essential in July! The restaurant is amazing. The guy who runs it is just amazing. Friendly and helpful and can do it in whatever language you like, but please try and speak Spanish out of courtesy. We all can a bit. I do even though I’m sure it gives them a great laugh. The food is just incredible and portions are substantial. I was initially a little disappointed as my fave starter of black pudding and peppers was not on, but the calamari was wonderful and huge too. My main of Iberian pork medallions served with bacon, tomatoes and chips was delightful and left me with a full belly. Only room for another cheeky vino tinto para postres. Booked up again in October for our next return trip and Winnie and I can’t wait.
