Samieira: Country holiday home - Pontevedra

Beutiful gardens, so peaceful. The pool was smaller than indicated in the photos. Some furniture needs attention, but the facilities were otherwise superb. We were helped promptly whenever we needed it. We would return if possible next year. Local walks are spectacular. Local people very friendly and helpful. The host was extremely helpful and pleasant, more so than we ever experienced before.

We stayed here for a week in May 2026.The house and gardens are beautiful. The views over the estuary are spectacular. We had a dog with us and he was completely safe, as it was fenced all around the property and there’s an electric gate for entry and exit. The decking area of the house was very comfortable, good table and chairs, and well covered, great for eating out and playing games on. There’s a fenced pond/water feature with an abundance of amusingly loud frogs, and a small aviary with a couple of fancy birds in it.The house is great for two. I think it’d be fine for four, as long as it’s two adults and two kids. Beyond that is pushing it a bit. It’s in an excellent location for visiting other towns and villages. Combarro is lovely and a short drive away (and has a very good supermarket) and Sanxenxo is also lovely and a short drive away, and both have great choice of cafes and restaurants, all of which we came across were dog-friendly too. We took the train from nearby Pontevedra to Santiago de Compostela and we actually visited Viana do Castelo in Portugal, about an hour and twenty minutes drive away.Credit to the owner too; on our first morning we had no hot water. He had someone out in minutes (Sunday morning), who sorted us out temporarily and the boiler was fixed Monday morning and all back to normal.The location is great and the views across the estuary are something you can gaze at all day and all night.Highly recommended.

Very nice huge property where you are alone. Excellent view of the sea. Well furnished, we weren´t missing anything...

Our family of 2 adults and 2 children (11 & 9 Yrs old) stayed here for 10 days in August 2014. The house is very well located about 15mins drive from Pontevedra and about 1hr from Santiago airport. The owners were very helpful in arranging the booking and meeting us on site for arrival and departure. The owners daughter speaks English and so we had no problem with communication. We had a fantastic time - there are loads of great beaches within 20-30mins drive and some beautiful countryside nearby. The old city centre in Pontevedra is very interesting to visit too. Several days we just stayed in the house and enjoyed the views, BBQ and just lazing by the pool or in the hammock. The house has everything you might need and is very well equipped and maintained. The house was very clean, the beds very comfortable and the shower excellent - always lots of hot water. It was a real pleasure to stay here and I would especially recommend the house if you have very young children because they can run around safely - the garden is fully enclosed.
