In a quiet village, embraced by ancient forests and time-worn vineyards, lies a house that marries modern elegance with the soul of Ribeira Sacra. Perched with views over the Miño River, this retreat offers a rare glimpse into a world where nature and history hold sway.

The house, once a simple village home, has been reimagined with contemporary design, yet it still whispers stories of the past. A small lookout beneath the trees provides a timeless view of the river and vineyards, inviting you to lose yourself in the landscape.

Here, tradition is honored. A welcome kit awaits with locally sourced sourdough bread, rich butter, homemade jam, organic milk, and a bottle of wine crafted by nearby winemakers. The commitment to sustainability runs through every detail, from eco-friendly toiletries to fresh flowers that echo the surrounding beauty.

This isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a retreat into the heart of a land steeped in history, where you can find peace, reconnect with nature, and experience the quiet magic of Ribeira Sacra.
