We really liked this property - plenty of 'character', and blessedly cool in the heat & with a nice garden. The kitchen is 'old farm' style with an old stone floor which was fine by us. The bathroom was fine providing you are not over 6 ft. Nice tables for outside catering & comfortable lounge. Beds are hard but good. An eclectic mix of books, many from her family's past & most in Spanish. Ines was very friendly & helpful and has decent English. She provided all the appropriate towels, bedding etc. and the place had obviously been cleaned before our arrival. Good value for money.
Good walks in the wooded hills behind the property & Ill de Arousa is a lovely beach area especially in the nature reserve in the south of that island (about 30k away). It's tricky to return from without a sat-nav or detailed map - we got lost a number of times. Local waterfalls are terrific (but avoid the owner's white wine in the upper Molina café if you value your dental fillings !).
Only real downside was the local farm dogs who made a real racket throughout parts of the evening & night.

We had a wonderful stay in the rustic stone house near Pontevedra for a relaxing several days after our 6 day hike on the Camino de Santiago. Authentic and traditional stone construction with a beautiful and shady grape arbor shading a huge outdoor stone slab table that made for a relaxing place for sharing dinner and glass of wine. Easy access to main roads for day trips into Santiago, to the beach, or even into Northern Portugal. Awesome sunset views. Lemon, fig, and plum trees right in the front yard! Ines gave great recommendations and directions for nearby places to visit and was very easy to work with. Highly recommend this for family vacation get-away.

a large comfortable house with different sleeping options. the garden is particularly attractive with lots of different corners and spots to sit in. we helped ourselves to plums and oranges when we were here. small supermarket in the village 5 minutes by car. house was clean but beware low ceilings/doorways. owner was always helpful.

We had the most wonderful time here. Ines made our arrival very welcoming and the setting was stunning. We'd never been to Galicia before and although set back in the hillside, it was the perfect location to drive to various places, including the coast with it's amazing varieties of beaches, Santiago de Compostella, and nearby forest etc, all of which were great suggestions made by Ines. Being on the hillside facing west meant the property had the loveliest views of the valley below and spectacular sunsets. The property was also big enough for the four of us (and has good facilities for taking children if you have any). Ines also provided us with a BBQ which meant we could self-cater more easily. The kitchen is rustic, small and basic, but the rest of the place made up for this and plenty of different places to sit outside. All four of us would highly recommend this place and the warmth received by our hostess!
