This attractive house was amongst the last of those built of granite stone in this region and the stone in question was salvaged from an old church and an horreo (a former grain store on stilts), which were demolished about forty years ago. The lounge has very pleasant views across the valley and an open fireplace.
The immediate surroundings are farmland and fruit orchards which lie below wooded hill sides. Lovely location, ideal also for Spring and Autumn rentals having central heating. The village is 10 minutes walking distance and has all the facilities, including restaurants, bars, supermarkets, chemists and banks. There are several very pretty, unspoilt beaches within a short drive and the bustling town of Noia, with its popular Sunday morning market, is a regular meeting place for locals for an aperitif and tapas. Heading in the other direction is the picturesque fishing village of Muros, where seafood lovers would find freshly fished seafood at the market or enjoy seafood cooked in the traditional Galician way. The pedestrian medieval city of Santiago de Compostela is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and is well worth a day trip; the warm golden granite buildings and long stone arcades make it a very attractive city.
Not often considered enough are the spectacular views from the mountains in the surrounding area. Also available for rent during the winter and autumn season. The house is fully central heated with double glazed windows.
