Rural House for Groups in Galicia — Full Rental in Palas de Rei

The full house: 6 bedrooms for up to 10 guests

Casa Andaina is a charming rural guesthouse in Palas de Rei, in the province of Lugo, that you can rent entirely for your group. The house features 6 bedrooms spread across two floors, 2 fully equipped kitchens with fridge, ceramic hob, microwave and cooking utensils, and 2 full bathrooms with bathtub. Whether you are a large family, a group of friends exploring Galicia or a team on a retreat, this is the kind of spacious, comfortable base that makes a group trip work.

Every guest enjoys high-speed fibre-optic WiFi, central heating, bed linen and towels included, a washing machine for free use and free on-street parking directly outside. The house sits on Rua Mercado, right in the centre of Palas de Rei, so supermarkets, pharmacies and restaurants are all within a two-minute walk. You will not need a car once you are here, though there is plenty of space to park if you bring one.

The apartment: perfect for smaller groups of up to 5

Travelling as a smaller group? You can rent just one of the two apartments inside Casa Andaina. Each apartment has 3 bedrooms, its own independent kitchen and a full bathroom with bathtub, sleeping up to 5 guests comfortably. This is an excellent option for families with children, two or three couples walking the Camino together, or any small group that wants the privacy and comfort of a self-catering home without paying for the entire house. You get your own front door, your own space and complete flexibility over your schedule.

A gathering place for celebrations and reunions

Casa Andaina has become the spot that families choose for birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and simply spending a few days together away from the city. With room for up to 10 people across 6 bedrooms, everyone gets their own private sleeping space while sharing the two kitchens and living areas. Cook together, eat together, then retreat to your own room when you need a break.

The countryside around Palas de Rei offers the kind of peace, green landscapes and authentic Galician food that makes a group getaway memorable. Visit the medieval Castle of Pambre, one of the best-preserved fortresses in Galicia. Explore the Romanesque church of Vilar de Donas, once home to the Knights of Santiago. Walk through chestnut and oak forests that carpet the hills, or simply spend an evening sampling pulpo, empanada and Ribeiro wine at one of the village restaurants. It is the kind of slow, unhurried trip that groups remember for years.

Pilgrim groups on the Camino de Santiago

Palas de Rei sits at a strategic point on the Camino Frances, just 65 km from Santiago de Compostela — the final three walking stages before you reach the cathedral. Casa Andaina is literally on the route: you arrive on foot without making a single detour. For groups of pilgrims, that matters. No taxis to the accommodation, no backtracking, no wasted energy at the end of a long day.

When your group needs logistics support, we work with trusted local partners. Taxi Castro (+34 659 99 31 39) offers transfers to Santiago airport, backpack transport between stages and pick-ups from any point on the Camino. Their vehicle seats 4 passengers, and they operate with prior reservation, so book ahead to secure your spot. For a more complete experience, OurWay.Travel organises guided experiences, food tours and end-to-end logistics for groups, families and travel agencies walking the Camino.

Whether you are walking the entire Camino Frances from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port or just covering the final stages from Sarria, Casa Andaina is your ideal base in Palas de Rei. After a long day on the trail, nothing compares to arriving at a real house with your own kitchen to prepare dinner, a bathtub to soak tired legs and proper beds waiting for you. It is a world away from the bunk-bed albergue experience, and for groups travelling together, it costs about the same per person.

Group pricing that makes sense

The full house (6 bedrooms, up to 10 guests) starts from €200 per night in low season, which works out at just €20 per person per night. Compare that to booking multiple hotel rooms or individual albergue beds, and the savings are obvious — plus you get an entire house with two kitchens, two bathrooms and complete privacy for your group.

The apartment (3 bedrooms, up to 5 guests) is available from €110 per night, meaning €22 per person per night. All prices include WiFi, central heating, bed linen, towels and free use of the kitchen and washing machine. There are no hidden extras.

When you book directly with us, you get the best price guaranteed — no platform commissions from Booking or Airbnb added on top. We confirm your reservation within 24 hours and are happy to answer any questions about the house, the area or planning your group trip.
