An award-winning rural hotel between the mountains and the sea

Just 3.5 km from the best beaches of the Rias Bajas, in Boiro, A Coruña, you will find this rural hotel. Its location, between the Sierra de Barbanza and the Ria de Arousa, gives it a special attraction in one of the most attractive areas of Galicia.

This charming rural hotel has as its hallmark a cruceiro, the traditional stone cross found on so many roads in Galicia.  Despite its appearance as a traditional rustic stone house, it has all the comforts of a modern home.

It is located on the Camino de Santiago del Mar de Arousa and Rio Ulla and the Camiño de Santiago no Barbanza (A Orixe), which converge with the Portuguese Camino de Santiago of the Coast, increasingly used by pilgrims, in Padrón, 28 km from the hotel.
