Why Choose LaCala Pilgrim's Inn
IT FEELS LIKE HOME
I have walked several Caminos and like to think I understand the needs of the pilgrim. I created this Pilgrim’s Inn for that purpose. It also just happens to be my home.

From Our Guest Book
We wanted to say a big thanks to you for offering your home as a pilgrims retreat on the Camino.
From the booking to departing, everything was awesome.
The cold beer on arrival, free laundry, delicious pastries and coffee … amazing!
We loved our comfortable twin room and view. The terrace was beautiful.
Having a massage for my tired legs was also so appreciated.
We highly recommend your property to anyone travelling thru Oia.

Such a great place. Tanya is more than perfect host. House is so well organized. Do not miss this place during your Camino.
A true gem on our first day in Spain! We received such a warm welcome from Tanya with a fresh drink to relax after a long day of walking. The Inn is so clean, beautifully decorated and offers all the amenities you need to rest, prepare your own meals and even do your laundry. A fresh croissant in the morning spices up the deal!
Very good all views. Kitchen, bathrooms and decoration, almost like being at home. Hopefully the other businesses will show interest and dedication to the pilgrim or traveler. And not see ourselves as currencies with legs. Please more businesses like this.
WOW! What a surprise on our journey to Santiago! This place is such a gem in so many aspects: a cute village, a welcoming beer/drink, amazing views of both the church and the ocean, cozy clean rooms with great mattresses, two perfectly clean nice bathrooms, a well-equipped spacious kitchen to prepare your own meals, free use of washing and drying machines, free coffee, croissant in the morning, and as a cherry on top - Tanya is a great host who is a native American, so you will not have any problems communicating with her. The only "downside" is that reservations aren't possible, but when you end up here, you certainly know why you walked, and this comes as a great reward after a tiring day.
The best hostel far and wide. You feel like you're at home. It was super clean and comfortable. Since no restaurant was open, we all cooked together and the kitchen was perfectly set up for an evening like this. In the morning there was a Nespresso coffee machine and fresh croissants. I can only recommend it. The small village of Oia is also absolutely a dream. Thanks for the great accommodation
The nicest place I have stayed in during my camino (ok, so far, but I'll doubt if other hostels will beat this place). Tanya was incredibly helpfull and friendly. And nature threw in the best sunset ever to make the experience complete.
Lovely place to stop on the Camino, a warm welcome, beautiful house, small shared rooms, washing machine and dryer (also outside space to dry), beautiful views and contact details for a super local physio.
Staying with Tanya at La Cala and experiencing Oia was one of the best times I’ve had after over 40 days on Camino. She’s incredibly welcoming and considerate, her home is beautiful and Oia is a perfect place to stop and relax. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again. Laundry on site, physiotherapy available through a local, beautiful kitchen, GREAT SHOWER! Incredible views.
All great! Like in the family. Reception, cleanliness, garden, patio, kitchen with breakfast, bedroom and bathroom. Super Tanya!Highly recommended.Julius and Magdalene
La Cala owned and run by the kind and thoughtful Tanya, and is one of the most beautiful guesthouses/albergues I’ve been too.Set in the gorgeous town of Oia every view out of the windows is just breathtaking.La Cala is close to a beautiful restaurant, and within easy walking of local supermarket/general shops and cafes.Tanya provides a welcome drink, a coffee machine, fresh croissants each morning, free fryer and washing machine, beautiful kitchen and bathroom facilities.La Cala is clean and comfortable and a perfect home away from home to take a rest day while in the Camino.
It’s something no real! Cozy, clean, comfortable! With very hospitality owners and perfect views!With welcome drink and morning coffee!Thank you for this perfect rest!Good luck to you and your business!Hope will be here again!
Beautiful as heaven, the best stay on my Camino so far😍Very nice and clean rooms, as well as the bathroom!Washing and drying machine is included and I got a welcome beer from the heartwarming owner as well.There's a kitchen with everything you need you can use, also a living area and a garden. 5 stars are even too less for this great service and souls!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This hostel is simply a cut above other very good hostels that I have been in during my current Camino. It is fresh, clean, comfortable, accessible, near bars and restaurant and the beach. I really enjoyed freshly baked chocolate croissant for breakfast.As soon as we arrived, Tanya greeted us with a warm smile and treated us like family. We were offered a cold drink while she talked to us about all the amenities available there and around town. From the very first time you step into La Cala, she makes sure that you have the best pilgrims experience ever. This is hands down our favorite place to stay and we hope to return to La Cala again in the future. Our only regret is that we didn’t schedule an extra day at LaCala.
