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.

Location:
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.
