Villa Barallete

Villa Barallete blends retro flair with distinctive design, set in a peaceful village just ten minutes from the coast. Its exterior pairs a traditional stone cottage with a striking greenhouse, surrounding a warm red-earth courtyard framed by a low stone wall for added privacy. This combination of textures and colours gives the villa a character that’s both grounded and artistic. Inside, the villa’s decor leans confidently into bold contrasts: terracotta-toned walls, exposed stone, mustard chenille sofas, and ornate chandeliers. The spiral wooden staircase adds a touch of drama, leading to four stylish bedrooms. The living space is large and inviting, with carefully chosen furnishings and modern comforts like satellite TV. The main kitchen is a standout: glossy, spacious, and vibrant with chartreuse walls and ample room for cooking. A second, wood-clad kitchenette in the living area provides even more flexibility, and the outdoor terrace with a barbecue is ideal for laid-back evenings. Bathrooms are equally well-considered, with one featuring a beautiful freestanding tub and stone wall. The villa sits in the town of Malpica on Galicia’s awe-inspiring Atlantic coast, known as La Costa da Morte. The waters are notoriously treacherous and the beaches famous for their golden sand and bright blue water. Several beaches are just a short drive away, offering a chance to witness the violent waves and dramatic coastline. It’s an ideal location for surfers, walkers, and families alike.

When the sun set over the vast ocean, it seemed to disappear into the unknown. With no land in sight, it’s no wonder they thought there was nothing beyond this point... but not to worry! Villa Barallete is only a 20-minute walk from the beach and a 20-minute walk from all the necessary amenities like restaurants and shops - the edge of the world never looked so good.  The beaches in this part of Galicia are famous for their position in the dramatic ’Costa da Morte’, and should certainly not be missed. Maior de Malpica beach forms a small inlet - here, there is a promenade with restaurants and cafes. It’s the most popular beach in the area, thanks to its urban location, lively, family-friendly atmosphere in summer and soft golden sand. Surfing and body boarding is particularly great at this beach - sign up for some lessons. Alternatively, take a walk along the beach to Canido, all the while enjoying views of the Sisargas Islands - an archipelago uninhabited by humans but home to many species of marine birds. Buno pottery is found in the Malpica area, which is a traditional Galician style of pottery using everyday materials and local clay. The town was awarded the Gold Medal of Fine Arts and endeavours to keep its craft alive. You can purchase some unique pottery as a souvenir or find out more at the Forna do Forte eco-museum. Take a day trip to A Coruña, which is known as the Crystal City, thanks to its ’galerias’ - enclosed glass balconies that feature stained glass. In the centre of town, visit Maria Pita square for some people-watching and excellent examples of Galician architecture. A superb museum to visit in A Coruña is the Domus, that explores the human body through 200 interactive exhibits about genetics, humanity and evolution. On Wednesdays and Saturdays there is a charming flea market where you can rummage for unique souvenirs. The Estrella Brewery is a fascinating experience for beer lovers - you can choose between a self-guided wander around the eight interactive exhibits or take a tour. Learn about the history and composition of Estrella, as well as enjoying five samples and a complimentary draught beer.Another sight to catch is the Hercules Lighthouse, which enjoys an amazing panoramic view of the Costa de Morte. Perched atop a rock at the entrance of Coruna Harbour, it is the only functioning Roman lighthouse. As the sea here is so choppy, ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean relied on the lighthouses all along the coast.
