This lovely, large secluded house is set in carefully looked after gardens full of places to sit and relax. The river is accessible from a steep bank and lovely to swim in (but refreshingly cold!) If you don't want to go in yourself you can listen to the babbling water and watch the fish passing from the large outside covered terrace with big dining table and barbecue. The big pool has sun and shade and an external shower and the children would have happily spent all week diving and jumping and swimming. Inside the ground flow is open plan with little nooks to sit quietly and read or relax. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking basic meals for 10 people. Really useful to have indoor and outdoor fridges with this size group. Bedrooms are all upstairs - 4 doubles and 1 twin. The main bedroom is large and grand with an ensuite and overlooks the river. There are 2 other shower rooms. The front double bedroom is big and has a little annexe study area. The other 3 bedrooms are smaller but not cramped. There were plenty of bath towels and pool towels, which was really appreciated. We drove to several fantastic beaches, a waterpark and Santiago de Compostela. Our favourite day included swimming in the river, a Segway tour in A Coruña and a meal in Pizza Mino. There were some local supermarkets within 10 mins drive and we found pastries every morning, but I think a car would be essential. There were lots of options to explore Galicia, but it would have been very easy to relax in this fabulous house and not go anywhere! I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay. Elena, Alphonso and (especially) Adrián were easy to contact and helped us to solve any small niggles. We have returned to the UK feeling all the better for such a great holiday. :-)

Excellent home, property and location! Close to many things (including beaches, forests, and a local village with services) and a quiet neighborhood, great place or large group or family reunion. The owner Elena and her son Alfonso were very friendly and helpful

Impressive property. The house was very clean. Perfect for family holidays. The pool is very big which we enjoyed very much. The river going through the property is amazing. Our host Elena was very kind and helpful, always available to solve our queries. We will undoubtedly come back to this Galician paradise!

A beautiful house in a quiet location with a river at the end of the garden. Lovely pool and short walk to beach. The owners are really friendly and helpful, it could be improved by having an information book about the house and area and a comments book. Also for us Brits who love our tea, a kettle! Needs to offer 2 bikes rather than one for a family of 10 but overall a great family holiday place and nice to feel like we were in real Spain .

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The pool was a particular highlight, as was the overall setting with access to the river and the kayak was an added bonus. The house itself is very large and could easily accommodate more than one family. You really feel like you are staying in someone's home when here - this isn't a typical characterless rental and it is furnished and decorated to the owner's taste, which is very clear from the photos I think. There are some aspects of the property that are a little tired and could perhaps be refreshed - but that didn't affect our stay at all, in some ways it adds to the character. Elena and her family were very helpful, responding to emails promptly and offering support and help if we needed it. Our deposit refund was processed promptly so you can be confident in dealing with these owners. Overall we had a great experience - thank you Elena, Elena & Alphonso!

Difficult access, TV problems, poor location, dirty floors and outside too, no air conditioning, not dryer, expecting better for the price we paid.
