Where Casa Campolé is and how to get there
Casa Campolé is on the calle Mayor in San Juan de Plan, a small village in the province of Huesca, in Aragon. It is a quiet place with little tourism, and the easiest way to get there is by car.
San Juan de Plan is built on a slope, and that affects the stay. Several guests say you can park right outside the apartment, but another warns that the streets are narrow and that you do not always get the car to the door if you are loaded down. Before booking, I would ask the host where to park at the specific house you want.
The good side of being in the centre of the village is that, according to reviews, you have a supermarket, bars and restaurants close by, as well as good access to the route to the Ibón de Plan.
What the houses and apartments are like
Casa Campolé is not a single property but several houses and tourist apartments, so they are not all the same. According to the description, each has a living area, a kitchen with a fridge, microwave, toaster and coffee maker, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. There is free wifi, and several units also have a terrace or balcony with mountain views.
The reviews tell you what the listing does not. They talk about apartments that have been refurbished with taste, new and very well kept, with comfortable beds and a kitchen stocked with all the utensils. Several guests highlight the fireplace and the whirlpool bath in the bathroom, big enough for two people. The property also has a garden and a barbecue area.
One review describes a small apartment and another a very large house. My advice is to look carefully at which unit you choose and confirm whether it has the whirlpool bath, fireplace or terrace you are interested in.
What guests say about Casa Campolé
With a rating of 4.8 out of 5 on Google and 323 reviews, Casa Campolé has a very solid reputation in San Juan de Plan. Almost everything that comes up again is positive and fairly consistent between reviews.
- The host. Many guests describe her as friendly and attentive, making sure nothing is missing and happy to recommend things to do in the area.
- Cleanliness and condition. It comes up again and again that everything was spotless and the apartment was just as in the photos.
- Quiet and views. Several people talk about a peaceful place, with few people and views of the mountains.
- Dogs. Several couples and families travelled with their dog without any problem, and one review thanks the host for the kind gesture towards their dog.
- A homely feel. The fireplace, the decoration and the whirlpool bath make a rainy day no problem.
What to know before booking
There are few drawbacks, but they are good to know. The main one is the slope of the village, which cannot be changed and which you notice if you carry luggage or find walking uphill hard. Another two-star review describes the apartment as neither here nor there, barely a five out of ten, and mentions flies and a large spider, one of which gave the reviewer's wife a real fright. That can happen in a mountain setting, although almost no one else mentions it.
| The best | Worth knowing |
|---|---|
| Attentive host with small touches | Narrow, steep streets |
| Very clean and well decorated | Not always possible to reach the door by car |
| Quiet and mountain views | One review mentions insects and spiders |
| Fireplace and whirlpool bath | Units are not all the same |
Who this accommodation suits
I would choose Casa Campolé for a couple's getaway, especially in the colder months, when the fireplace and whirlpool bath really come into their own. It is also a good choice if you travel with a dog, since the reviews are very positive on that point.
I would not recommend it to anyone with mobility problems, because of the village's slope, or to anyone looking for nightlife or a lot of activity. Here you come to switch off.
What to do in the area and other options in Aragon
The listing highlights summer hiking and winter skiing, and one review mentions the route to the Ibón de Plan, which is well connected from San Juan de Plan. With the supermarket and restaurants close by, you can plan your day without fuss.
If you fancy comparing or looking at another part of Aragon, have a look at Casa Sidora in Laspuña, Hostal Centro in Sallent de Gállego or Hotel 176 - El Azafrán in Teruel.
