Albergues off the path

Anyone been to this one and have comments on it?

Albergue San Bol | Albergues Santa Brigida

No neighbors, 260 meters south of the francés, turn off about 4½ kilometers east of Hontanas.

Or any others off the path and not in a village/city?

I haven't stayed at those, but I loved Fuente Sidres a little bit before Hontanas.

I didn’t stay there, but in Hontanas. I did, however, stop for a rest and a bite to eat. It is similar to Albergue Los Templarios in Terradillos. Kind of out in the middle of nowhere with nice expansive grounds.

I really wanted a stamp from there. But, despite the sign on the Camino trail that said, “Open All Day”, it was closed tight both times I tried. The albergue has a nice yard/garden area with cold water trough. Staying there doesn’t appeal to me because there is just NOTHING there.

Santa Brigida in Hontans is FABULOUS.

In 2016 we stopped there for a coffee at the insistence of a pilgrim we met, although I don't think they normally just do coffee. There is a pool there that is supposed to be a healing place. When we were there a man was weed-eating around the pool and yard so we did not put our feet in. I think it was a single dorm with about 8 or 10 beds. Supposed to be kind of a mystical place.

Website says ten bunks and another room with two. When I went from Navarra to León I did not see the sign that someone else said was there. I didn't know about it until I saw it on a map today.
