An immense pool in your perfectly picturesque garden makes Villa Ramallosa an idyllic home-from-home for up to seven lucky guests in an exquisite rural location!
A striking beauty on the hillside, you’ll be dazzled by the effusive beauty of this villa as you approach up the grand driveway. Inside, the main lounge comprises two large sofas amid a collection of wooden and antique furniture, yet in front of a fabulously modern and huge television. A cosy fireplace in the corner ensures you can stay comfortable and a warm in the cooler months! Your immense, modern kitchen filled with fabulous facilities and all the latest mod cons creates a perfect space for preparing a meal or two and gathering the whole group – with direct access to an alfresco dining space on the veranda. A grand dining room brims with rich colours and fabrics and invites you to enjoy a delicious formal meal-time together. There is also a guest bathroom alongside the living spaces.
There are three elegant bedrooms, and each exudes total class and character. The master bedroom features a Queen-size bed at one end, with a full library and seating area to the other, with a delightfully traditional style, including a wooden bookcase, a stone fireplace and vintage furniture. There is a balcony for you to enjoy the sunshine in seconds, as well as a superb ensuite bathroom with a fabulous walk-in shower and double vanity sink. The second bedroom has a double bed while the third bedroom features two single beds in a calming, beautiful environment. There are two additional bathrooms, one with a large bathtub with a shower over, and the other has a fabulous shower.
Heading outside you can soak up the tranquillity and beauty of this exquisite location. On the terrace you have a fabulous alfresco dining area with a parasol if the sun is ever a little too much, perched overlooking the enchanting natural world which envelopes you here! Meanwhile, on the veranda you can enjoy more casual seating, alfresco dining and stunning views. Then, of course, there is your spectacular swimming pool! At twelve meters long and lined with elegant balustrades to one side and a glossy lawn to the other, there’s hardly a more glamorous spot to kick back and soak up the sunshine! There’s a pool house alongside this so that you won’t have to traipse back inside to nip to the toilet. This is also equipped with a fabulous barbecue and dining area, so you can cook up a storm and feast in the beautiful setting!
Within a short drive of the beach and the local town, as well as near to the beautiful town of Baiona, this is a perfect location for enjoying all the best bits of the Galician countryside!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa RamallosaVilla Ramallosa is in the perfect location for those seeking a rural retreat near to the coast, the mountains and the thriving towns of Galicia.
The incredible beaches of Praia Ladeira and Praia América are both within just a 15 minute drive and boast magnificent extended stretches of dazzling golden sands and azure seas against the stunning backdrop of the dramatic coastal mountains! You could hardly find a more beautiful, romantic spot for a day-trip to the beach!
Just 30-minutes to the north is the largest city in Galicia, Vigo, a cultural centre with a fascinating history, boasting stunning architecture, many regular markets and the beautiful Museo Municipal de Vigo. Nearby you can enjoy the breath-taking nature reserve of Islas Cíes with dazzling white-sand beaches and azure waters! Vigo-Peinador International Airport is 15 km from the centre of Vigo with several national flights and season-dependent flights to Paris, Brussels and London.
Meanwhile, just 15 minutes further north is Pontevedra, a deeply historical and beautiful city which welcomes visitors to enjoy incredible sightseeing, a myriad of festivals throughout the year and tons of fabulous nearby beaches. With a fully pedestrianised 300,000 square meter medieval centre, you can enjoy carefree wandering in Spain’s most accessible city! Local delights include wine served in a bowl in many of the smaller pubs on the backstreets, affordable octopus and all kids of treats including ‘queixo galego’ and ‘pan galego’ (local bread and cheeses) from the regular farmers' market by the river. Within the city, the Museo Provincial de Pontevedra is considered to be one of the finest historical/archaeological museums in Spain, while the Rias Bajas (Rias Baixas) coastal region has flourishing coastlines, mountains, rivers, lakes and estuaries that ooze incredible natural beauty.
And only 25 minutes to the south you’ll reach the Portuguese border and the enchanting region of Minho, with a fascinating history and sublime natural landscape! It is a fantastic, largely rural region on the northernmost Atlantic tip of Portugal and shares many attributes with Galicia. Minho is perhaps most famous as the home of the Vinho Verde, a crisp, dry white wine (although as the name suggests, it is in fact green!) best enjoyed with a local fish dish.
With a breath-taking coastline that meets the powerful Atlantic Ocean, Galicia is a paradise for beach holidays and nature lovers, as well as the keen surfer, or indeed even those looking to try it for the first time, with plenty of surfing schools all along the calmer sections of the coast.

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 AgesKids will adore a stay in Villa Ramallosa with its immense garden and huge private pool for the whole family to gather in!
With such varied and striking living spaces, everyone can settle into their spot of choice whilst still maintaining a social environment throughout the many living spaces. In the property grounds themselves you will find a fabulous private pool, offering a prime space for children to have fun and tire themselves out, while you look on from the comfort of a sun lounger, ensuring you have an opportunity to relax whilst keeping an eye on the little ones.
With a set of loungers right beside the pool, you can make sure the kids are safe as you kick back in the warm glow of the Iberian sun. In the surrounding landscape you will find endless opportunities for an active day out, while the location near to some of the best beach areas of the Atlantic ensures you can enjoy a traditional family day trip to the beach.
The local area perfectly lends itself to exploration – with natural parks aplenty and rolling landscapes that will capture the imagination of kids of all ages!

Without a doubt highly recommended
Fantastic, both the owner and the house, which is very comfortable. The location is perfect between tranquility and the busiest areas. Without a doubt highly recommended.

The perfect vacation
We loved the house, the garden, the pool. It has been a very calm and happy week, spending time with the family without work or studying
-
Great holiday!
The stay at the Villa has been very good. The owners have been up to the task at all times. The management from the beginning to the end was perfect. I would definitely consider the property again for my next holiday and would recommend to others to get to know it.

So warming!
On arrival we received a very warm welcome from the owner of the villa. There were lots of little treats including an ample Welcome Package making the start of our stay very nice indeed. The owner was lovely and friendly andonlya phone call away if we had any problems (which we didn’t). The villa is in a fantastic location, only 10 minutes from lots of lovely sandy beaches and high on the hillside making the views spectacular. There are also many places of interest nearby, such as the hill top Celtic settlement at A Guarda and Valenca in Portugal only 25 minutes away. The pictures on the website really do not do the villa justice; we had no idea that the garden or the terraced areas would be so big! We had so many outside spaces to eat and relax we didn’t know which to choose. However, I guess my choice would be under the tree by the ample sized pool. We absolutely loved this villa and would highly recommend it.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
