A charming three-storey, seven-bedroom, six-bathroom country house located in the Galicia region of Spain boasting a pool and views of the Salnes Valley. The villa has been recently restored and decorated in keeping with the natural landscape, and flourishes of wood and rustic stone walls complement its manor house aesthetic.

When you arrive, you’ll make your way into the grand living room composed of natural stone and wooden beams. Sunlight streams through the windows giving the room a fresh and airy atmosphere. Guests can chill out here during the day, enjoying a leisurely pace of life and at night-time, light the fireplace and get cosy!

Seven bedrooms dot the house and are all spacious and well-lit. As part of the restoration, the owners made sure to beautifully decorate them with uplifting tones set against the natural stone walls. Not only are they all bestowed with modern and comfortable furnishings, but all are also en-suite and have a TV! The cherry on top is the hydro-massage bathtub or shower which come with two of the rooms. Some rooms also come with a private or shared terrace to soak up views of the surrounding countryside. Mornings don’t get much more perfect than sipping coffee on the terrace whilst you take in the views of the Albarino vineyards.

The highlight of the outside area is undoubtedly the chill-out area with Balinese beds, which are perfectly positioned to enjoy the garden views. The front patio has a private blue-tiled pool which perfectly complements the lush green surrounds. Sun worshippers will be in their element here, and guests love to spend hours topping up their tans underneath the seemingly endless bright blue sky. There’s also a fish pond, a water feature, and outdoor seating where guests can enjoy a glass of wine or simply relax with a book. You’ll be surrounded by native countryside, so your time outdoors is guaranteed to be peaceful, private, and rejuvenating.

The villa is connected to a spectacular dining room which holds up to fifty people and is a great space to hold a function like a wedding or a birthday party.

The house is a short drive to Portonovo, a charming fishing village in the Galician region of Spain which thrives with visitors during the summer months. Coves, bays and inlets dot the coastline of the region, and thanks to these, Galicia boasts the most extensive coastline in Spain!

A delightful promenade connects Portonovo with the neighbouring town of Sanxenxo, which is famous for its restaurants, beaches and bars. Visitors can join locals in a leisurely stroll from one town to the other, which is an event in itself, thanks to the stunning landscape. The path has spectacular views at every turn, and visitors are rewarded with a cool sea breeze as they make their way through the green forest with views of the blue water.

Be sure to visit the nearby city of Pontevedra, which prides itself on tradition and hospitality and has plenty of historic buildings, churches, monuments, attractive plazas, and a large shopping district. The old town begins to really thrive at night, with lively bars creating a vibrant atmosphere which continues well into the early hours.

Further along the coastline is Rias Baixas (or ‘lower estuary’), which holds a number of estuaries and inlets, including Aldan, Arousa, Pontevedra, and Vigo. The area is known by locals as the Galician Caribbean, and for a good reason! Between them, they hold more than 20 coves of fine white sand beaches, many of which are deserted and only accessible by boat. The estuaries are known for their calm waters and blue seas, making them the perfect spot for relaxing on the beach and exploring the hidden coves. The Aldan inlet is also perfect for hiking. Take a walk to Cabo Udra, a 13-kilometre circular route in a protected natural area where bottle-nose dolphins and porpoises are frequently seen in the waters.

The region of Galicia is famous for its history, seafood and wild beaches. It’s particularly well known for its shellfish pulled straight from the sea: think king prawns, king scallops, mussels, crabs and lobsters straight into signature Galician dishes like the pulpo a la feira (Octopus cooked with potatoes and seasoned with paprika), arroz con marisco (Galician paella) and mariscada (Seafood platter). Wine is also a staple of the cuisine here, and Rias Baixas boasts beautiful wineries which produce some of the world’s finest wines. Romanesque churches and chapels dot the same landscapes as the traditional wineries, and the region perfectly combines gastronomy and culture amongst the historical sights of Galician monasticism.

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 (and even Portugal). There are also vairous 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.

Kids

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

Kids will love a trip to the Cies Islands. These real-life treasure islands reportedly hold buried goods from pirate's past, and according to legend, Francis Drake used to hide out in the secluded coves of the archipelago. With all this talk of treasure islands, it’s not hard to get the imagination of the little ones excited about this rugged piece of beauty. Kids can go snorkelling and kayaking in the clean, clear waters of the archipelago, which are home to more than 100 species of marine life. There’s also a campsite which organises free children’s activities in the morning and evening. Here they can make new friends in the play area, join in with the organised games, or get crafty at workshops.

The surrounding estuaries are famous for their tranquil beaches, and some are accessible by horse. Rias Baixas has reputable horse riding schools, which will also take enthusiastic riders to the Mougás river pools in nearby Pontevedra and to Aloia Natural Park. A two-hour drive will bring you to Ribeira Sacra, where you can take an excursion on horseback through colourful landscapes full of natural beauty with views overlooking the rivers.

For a day out, Costa da Morte is a ninety-minute drive away where the kids can continue the buccaneering fantasy. This rocky coastline is stunning but treacherous and has a history of shipwrecks - perfect for young imaginations! However, the beaches are calm and safe, which makes them popular for families with children. The coastline is dotted with charming fishing villages, with two favourites being Laxe and Finisterre. Laxe has a lovely walk to the lighthouse, and Finisterre got its name from the ancient Romans, who believed it to be the “End of the Earth”.

An hour's drive will take you to Baiona, one of Spain’s most memorable coastal towns with a yacht club. Monte Real yacht club holds sailing courses and a summer sailing school, where kids can head out onto the blue waters of the harbour for a few hours with experienced staffers. For the committed junior sailors, take advantage of the club’s weekly sailing course for children between seven and sixteen years old, which includes a specialised trainer and all the necessary equipment.
