Located near the small town of Bertamirans, close to Santiago de Compostela, sits this tranquil four-bedroom villa. Surrounded by countryside, the location is wonderfully quiet and is the perfect destination for a family wanting relaxation, outdoor activities and nearby historical attractions.

Inside, the decor is modern and light. On the ground floor, exposed stonewalls, creamy tones and tiled flooring sweep through the living area, creating a soothing atmosphere. Two large sofas invite you to sit and chat with friends and family or relax with a film on the flatscreen television. On chilly days, cosy up next to the roaring fire, but when the sun's shining, you'll want to push open the floor-to-ceiling glass doors and let the outside in. There's also a hardwood dining table that invites sociability. Off from the living area is a spacious kitchen with all the appliances you'll need to cook up delicious family meals and a neat table, perfectly set up for a more casual bite to eat. Also on this floor is a light and airy double bedroom with an adapted bathroom for guests with reduced mobility. From the ground floor, stairs lead up to the first floor, where the three remaining bedrooms are located. Featuring a mix of double and twin beds, the rooms are all a generous size with windows that overlook rolling hills and treetops. There are also two immaculate bathrooms on this floor.

Back on the ground floor, step outside onto the terrace and start the day with a morning coffee while listening to birdsong in the surrounding trees. During the day, take it easy on a sun lounger, swim in the pool, or relax in the pretty garden with a good book. After a day of relaxation, light the stone barbeque and gather everyone together for an alfresco meal at the table under the vines of the shaded terrace.

The house is set in a peaceful location, backed by woodland and surrounded by trees. It's ideally located for outdoor activity with hiking and cycling routes right on the doorstep, while there are amenities nearby, with the small town of Bertamirans just a ten-minute drive away. The historical and cultural city of Santiago de Compostela is also a 25-minute drive away, with plenty to do there.

Surrounded by trees, Casa Coru is located inland and overlooks a valley. You can explore the stunning landscape on foot or bicycle, and nature lovers will enjoy spotting wildlife in the oak, birch and chestnut trees.

Galicia is known for its gastronomy, and there are a number of restaurants in the town of Bertamirnas where you can sample local seafood dishes and a glass of crisp white Albarino wine. But for a full day of history and culture, make the 25-minute drive to the beautiful Santiago de Compostela (Galicia's capital). This ancient pilgrimage centre is packed with Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassicist buildings and its twisting stone lanes make it a pleasant city to explore on foot. Admire the grandeur of the stunning Catedral de Santiago de Compostela and the remarkable Portico de la Gloria, and be sure to take a tour of the roof of the Cathedral too. A whole day can easily be spent exploring Santiago's most famous building and the squares surrounding the Cathedral, but if you need a breather, head to the leafy Alameda Park close to the old quarter. At the park entrance, be sure to stop and admire the sculpture of As Marias. The sculpture features two sisters whose family was prosecuted during the Franco regime. The sisters became known for strolling through the park dressed in eye-catching, colourful outfits at the same time every day.

After a stroll in urban nature, head to Rua do Franco and enjoy a drink and tapas at one of the many bars dotted along this road. Alternatively, head to the Mercado de Abastos, a charming stone building housing a lively and bustling market. This daily market is packed with seafood and vegetables plus local specialities, including questo de tetilla cheese and tarta de Santiago almond cake. But for something a little more contemporary, head to the north side of town and discover the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea. This elegant, modern building sits in striking contrast to Santiago's ancient buildings, and inside, the exhibition halls are swathed in natural light from massive windows and skylights. It's a lovely space and home to permanent and changing exhibitions of contemporary art and sculpture.

About the Region & Getting There

About Galicia

Like many parts of Spain, Galicia has its very own identity that has remained intact through its regional dialect and distinguishing culture. Although Galicia is recognised for its holy traditions, we urge budding tourists to also consider its astonishing green countryside & rivers and its UNESCO World Heritage sites. Occasionally you may even hear the gentle tootling of bagpipes, known locally as the Galician Gaita, along this northern corner of the Iberian Peninsula.

You're likely to fly into Santiago de Compostela, which is the capital of Galicia and is probably best known for the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage and its route. Many of the travellers embark on this journey by foot and tend to be mesmerised by this fine city at the end of their trek. Casco Viejo, or the Old Town, is a good place to end or even start your holiday. This area of the city is blessed with markets, restaurants, bars and buildings from a bygone era. After exhausting yourself in the busyness of the city, take a day trip to Praia de Rodas, on the gorgeous Cíes Islands. These small islands, accessible by boat from Vigo, Baiona, or Cangas, have been noted as having some of the best beaches in the world. It has to be seen to be believed!

Galicia is divided into four key regions: A Coruña, Lugo, Ourense and our favourite – Pontevedra. A Galician proverb states that 'Pontevedra gives water to travellers'. We firmly believe this to be true, as this particular part of Galicia has everything a traveller could need for an unforgettable experience and it almost feels like this city is constantly giving back. Whilst you holiday in Pontevedra you will realise that days are structured around mealtime. And why wouldn't they be? With some of the best seafood you will experience in Spain and the noteworthy Albariño wine, you may notice your jeans feeling a little tighter toward the end of your holiday. You will be glad to know that your waistline need not be a cause for concern though! Pontevedra is blessed with some of the best hiking trails, medieval monasteries, estuaries, and valleys within Spain. Don't forget about the coastline either! Rarely you will you find so many empty beaches, so make the most of this privacy and just embrace the nature around you.

Galicia is still an unspoilt part of the world. It has everything a diverse group of friends & family need to have a glorious adventure.

 

Getting There

Galicia is served by either Santiago de Compostela Airport, A Coruña Airport, or Vigo Airport. Various train lines connect the main cities and towns of Galicia to other destinations in Northern and Central Spain. Hop on and enjoy the view from your comfy seat; there's even a Galician Tourist Train pass! This discounted rail pass gives you access to various rail routes created by the Galician Regional Government and based on key elements of the region. Follow the Lighthouse Route along the northern coastline and stop to admire the lighthouses and gorgeous sea views, or hop on and follow one of the Ribeira Sacra Wine Routes to visit the lovely towns and wineries where acclaimed Galician wines are made and enjoyed. Check out the government website to grab your pass and plan your trip!

From the UK:
Direct flights are available from London with easyJet, Ryanair, Vueling, and many others. Although, travellers should be aware that Vigo Airport only receives domestic flights, so a stopover is needed if you wish to travel to this airport. Chartered flights are also available from several other UK airports.

Kids

Best Suited For: All Ages
Ideal for Kids Ideal for Teens

There's plenty of space for the whole family at Casa Coru. Children can play games on the lawn or spend the day splashing in the pool. After a day's activity, they can enjoy a meal cooked on the barbecue on the shady terrace next to the pool. The peaceful location means they can enjoy being amongst nature, and straight from the door, there are forest trails and cycle routes to explore. Not to mention, Casa Coru also comes with a trampoline, basketballs and nets, and badminton rackets, so they will always be entertained!

Galicia's vibrant city centre, Santiago de Compostela, also has an abundance of attractions and is conveniently located around a 25-minute drive away. You'll find historical buildings, museums, and plenty of pretty squares where you can grab a bite to eat. Be sure to start the day with a breakfast of traditional Galician almond cake before hopping on the Santiago de Compostela tourist train and enjoying the city's winding narrow streets and beautiful architecture in comfort. Afterwards, stop at the stunning Catedral de Santiago de Compostela and let the children take a guided tour of the roof. They'll love the views of the city from the top.

The Museum of the Galician People is also worth a visit and is a fun way for the kids to learn about the history of the local people and their culture. After all that activity, be sure to stop and relax at the nearby Alameda Park. At the entrance to the park stands a colourful statute of two sisters known as As Marias. Children will love having their photograph taken with these lovely ladies before continuing through the park to play hide and seek among the trees. Once you've exhausted the attractions, stop at one of the many restaurant or tapas bars. Adventurous children might like to sample some of Galicia's famous seafood dishes, including mussels, scallops or even spider crabs. Alternatively, head to the Mercado de Abastos and let the children stroll through the market halls and pick their own lunch. Packed with green vegetables, seafood, cheeses and cakes, you're certain to find something for everyone to enjoy here.
