General Info |
|
| |
Casa Do Curraliño is a lovingly restored 300 year old stone farmhouse situated in the middle of a beautiful, peaceful valley in the province of Pontevedra. It comprises two adjoining cottages, and is surrounded by an acre and a half of mixed meadow and woodland, with plenty of sunny and shady areas, and room to kick a football or throw a frisbee. Both cottages have private terraces and gardens. An oak and chestnut forest lies below the property, divided by a small fast flowing river, ideal for a cooling dip on hot summer days. Both cottages have shaded outside areas and gardens, and access to the rest of the property. |

Further Details |
Galicia is an autonomous region in the north-west of Spain, divided into four provinces namely A Coruna, Pontevedra, Lugo and Orense. Pontevedra is home to the Rias Baixas, coastal inlets similar to fjords boasting not only the best weather in the region, but also incomparable seafood and the world class white wine, Albarino. The coastal district of Pontevedra where O Curralino is situated has a landscape that has been described as one of the last remaining examples of medieval strip farming in Europe, with a patchwork of vineyards, pasture, maize and vegetable fields.

What visitors have said about Casita del Sur |
| |

My husband and I stayed here in mid June and found it the perfect place for total and utter relaxation! The farmhouse is situated in a tiny hamlet surrounded by hills, rivers and vines and is beautiful. The cottage has been renovated superbly and the views from the bedroom windows are breathtaking. We loved coming back after a day out and relaxing in the garden with a glass of albarino!
