This is just about the best location for a hotel you can wish for, with a superb panoramic view across the valley into Portugal, marvellous. And in case you come for the hike; why not start from the hotel, so with the descend (by the paved stairs) first, and then climb up again (on the unpaved path around the northwestern side of the hill from the booth where you pay the entryfee to visit Santa Trega (which you don't have to, as a hotelguest)? Easy and rewarding with great views all around and on the descend a visit to the prehistoric dwellings.

Gorgeous location, spotless apartment efficiently organized, quiet, secure building. Right on the waterfront malecón, which is lovely, with many people and their furry friends out strolling. Host was awesome, so welcoming and easy to communicate with.

An unexpectedly attractive town with beautiful harbour and nearby mountain. Lanes often steep and narrow so car driving tricky but possible. Plenty of restaurants and a bakery offering very good breakfasts. A walk up to the castle above the town was enjoyable.

A little disappointed by the recommended Porto Guardes café...
A little disappointed by the recommended Porto Guardes café on the harbour because they didn't serve food till 7.15 pm & the salad was mainly out of a jar, i.e. white asparagus, sweet red peppers, an onion garnish on the boiled potatoes. Would have been better to have a fresh salad. However, the pimientos Padron & the Galician octopus were excellent.
The two mile walk from my hostel to the harbour was wonderful & quiet.
My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights while walking a comino through A Guarda. Every element of our stay from check in to leaving was a pleasant experience. The Bookings pictures don't capture the tidiness of the apartment or the fantastic view of the harbour and waterside town. Very quiet at night, no problem sleeping with windows open, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen for 2 people. Great value if spending more than 1 night. Being non- Spanish speakers, sincere thanks to the lady that checked us in and out - she was very patient.
Location was incredible - totally worth the 30 minute walk from the port to get there!
Rooms are not super upgraded but that adds to the charm.
Hotel staff was amazing and so super helpful! 5 stars for the over the top effort of both of the people working the front desk during my stay.
The whole place is reminiscent of family resorts from the 50s with a luxury dining area, lovely patio restaurant, and nice rooms with comfy beds, all right on the beach.
The staff were amazing. They kindly stored our luggage for two days until we arrived.
Nothing was too much trouble as they ordered a taxi for us, which arrived on time as arranged. One of our party was continuing to walk the Camino and the lady at the hotel gave her directions to the route and made sure we watched my friend to see she was safely on her way.
The view from the hotel and surrounds is stunning! We could see the coast of Portugal from where we had walked on the Camino Portuguese Coastal route. The room was spacious and clean and the area was quiet. Staff were helpful, especially when getting a taxi to go down the mountain. Overall this hotel is great value for money.
The hotel is charming and still has traces of the convent. You can somehow feel the nuns quietly walking around. The rooms are simple and yet perfectly appointed. There is an indoor courtyard- perfect for breakfast or a glass of wine. The hotel is very close to the harbor and tons of great seafood restaurants.
What a perfect place to spend a few days. Super little apartment fully equipped
Great garden with sun all day
Parking right at the door
And a great place to get around La Guarda
A really good spot for walking and cycling
Well located nice hotel. It is obvious they are trying hard to give guests a pleasant experience and it shows. The room was big and very comfortable. Very nice breakfast included in the price we paid.
My favorite type of property, a historic building (here, a 14th century convent) carefully and well preserved into a luxury hotel, a very comfortable one. Not excessively expensive. Loved our stay!
The hotel sits on the Camino route so it was a perfect location. Nice room comfortable and very good value. Breakfast was excellent and included the best coffee so far on our trip.
It was along the Camino and its location was convenient. The hotel room has the old vibe charm and was pretty quiet. The bed was comfortable. The staff were very helpful and kind.
The staff was very nice and helpful. Clean. For a simple, basic hotel though, it was very overpriced. It was one of the very few available in town at that time.
