Interior of the hostel with exposed wooden beams and stone walls

The house

Stone, wood and the village exactly as it is

Its walls and beams keep the essence of El Acebo: a stone house with a wooden balcony and a slate roof, built the way houses have always been built in the Montes de León.

Inside it is another story: warm, welcoming, looked after detail by detail, the kind of place where you feel at home. Only six beds, so that it never stops feeling that way.

  • A genuine stone house

    Original walls, exposed beams and a wooden balcony. Restored without losing what it was.

  • Private terrace over El Bierzo

    The village sits high up. From the terrace the whole Bierzo valley opens at sunset.

  • Like being at home

    Three suites, six beds and people who know your name. No impersonal desk, no bunk beds.

Where you sleep

Three suites, three characters

Mostaza, Cereza and Laurel. Each one with its own bathroom and its own personality, decorated with pieces that step away from the merely traditional.

  • Afternoon light

    Mostaza

    A 150 x 200 cm double bed and its own bathroom. Exposed stone, a beamed ceiling and a shuttered window that catches the afternoon light.
