The interiors blend rustic charm with playful design touches, from exposed brick walls and warm lighting to colourful décor and a statement chandelier in the dining area. A spacious, well-equipped kitchen and several inviting living areas provide ample room to unwind, while a library offers a quiet retreat.

About the surrounding area of Villa Gargantans

Rural Location

Outstanding Landscapes

Vilacova is a peaceful and picturesque hamlet near Morana in the province of Pontevedra. Surrounded by lush Galician countryside, it sits eight kilometres from the nearest town and just seven hundred metres from a local shop and restaurant, offering seclusion without complete remoteness.

The historic city of Pontevedra is within easy reach, renowned for its beautifully preserved old town and the Gothic Basilica of Santa Maria la Mayor. Its elegant squares and winding lanes are lined with markets, boutiques, cafés and tapas bars, making it an ideal place to soak up the region’s rich culture.

Further south-west lies Vigo, a dynamic coastal city and home to Europe’s largest fishing fleet. Its vibrant centre is filled with tapas bars, restaurants and nightlife, and it also serves as the gateway to the pristine Illas Cíes.

To the north, Santiago de Compostela marks the final stop on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. With its majestic cathedral, atmospheric stone architecture and lively plazas filled with the sound of Galician bagpipes, it offers a truly memorable day trip.

Other cultural highlights include the Romanesque churches of Zamora, and across the border in northern Portugal, the cities of Braga and Porto, both rich in history and charm. Nearby airports include Santiago de Compostela, Vigo and occasionally Porto, all offering convenient access to the region.

The Region

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 are 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 full of 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 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... but don't worry! Pontevedra is blessed with some of the best hiking trails, medieval monasteries, estuaries, and valleys in Spain to keep you active. 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 (and even Portugal). There are also various coach routes that you can take throughout the region and to other cities in Spain.

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.
