Location and staff very good

Cozy countryside prooerty

Extremely beautiful. I had everything I needed. The host was like an angel.

We LOVED this property. There is so much history here! I kept asking the owner about the history and he tried his best in broken English to tell me it’s story. We told the owner that he had a perfect location for a small destination wedding…a small church just next door, a reception room and a beautiful dining room. This property was not near Arzua or another city. There was really no place to go for dinner. Our host offered to prepare us dinner from what he had available on his property. He put together a beautiful egg/potato salad and roasted peppers. He also put out a very nice spread for breakfast.

Daniel was a wonderful host and terrific cook. Spoke fluent English. Very hospitable!! Wonderful location on the Northern route. Supposed to be an alternate route but it should be the main route. It was so beautiful. So peaceful!

As a seasoned Camino walker, I've stayed in my fair share of hostals and guesthouses. But Casa Rico de Medín stands out as a true gem. This beautifully refurbished farmhouse is a haven for weary pilgrims (and design enthusiasts!). The moment you arrive, you're struck by the stunning architecture. The conversion from a traditional farm has been done with a keen eye, blending the original stonework with modern amenities. The minimalist style throughout the lodge creates a sense of calm, and the exposed stone walls add a touch of rustic charm. One of the highlights of my stay was the food. Everything is homemade and uses fresh, local ingredients. Breakfast, which was included, was a delightful start to the day: fluffy scrambled eggs, seasonal fruit, and the creamiest yogurt I've ever tasted. Lunch and dinner are also available, and while the menu is simple, the dishes are beautifully prepared. We were even fortunate enough to be gifted some Xenos (a local Galician turnip greens) on our pilgrimage, and Lucia, the wonderful host, kindly prepared it for us. It was a delicious and thoughtful gesture. But what truly sets Casa Rico de Medín apart is the exceptional hospitality. Lucia and her team go above and beyond to make you feel at home. They offer helpful advice for navigating the Camino, create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and truly embody the spirit of Camino camaraderie. If you're looking for a unique and luxurious stop on your Camino journey, Casa Rico de Medín is the perfect place. You'll be treated to stunning architecture, delicious homemade food, and genuine hospitality that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to continue your pilgrimage.
