Further details for this holiday farmhouse rental in Galicia, Spain

A RICH HISTORY: In the nearby village of Escairon you will find most local amenities; supermarkets, banks, restaurants, bars, post office, tourist information office. The village also boasts a municipal open-air swimming pool (open during the summer). The river beach at A Cova on the river Mino is a short car drive away. The area, Ribeira Sacrá, boasts many local fiestas. The nearby town of Monforte de Lemos offers a wider choice of services. Despite its appearance and size, Monforte is in fact a city. A title bestowed on the town in 1885 by King Alfonso XII. It’s most prominent features are the monastery of San Vicente do Pino and the Torre de Homenaxe, both perched high on a hill in the centre of the town dominating the surrounding area. Another building of historic interest is the convent of the Franciscanas Descalzas. Within the convent is the Nais Clarisas museum which contains some of the highest quality religious artifacts in the whole of Spain.

THINGS TO DO: Campo Verde is an excellent base from which to discover the charm of the Ribeira Sacrá. The area boasts one of the greatest concentrations of Romanesque Art in Spain. Take a leisurely cruise in one of the catamarans on the river Sil or Mino. On the other hand you could just lay back and enjoy the sun on a river beach, like that at A Cova. In addition to exploring the area by car we would also recommend that you take time out to do some walking and bird watching or enjoy a round of golf. If relaxation is your aim why not visit a thermal spa and let the hot sulphurous waters soothe away your aches and pains or simply relax in the warm Galician sunshine reading a book as time gently slips by. Whatever you choose to do Campo Verde is the perfect holiday retreat.

LOCAL WINE FIESTAS: Chantada - 2nd weekend in March, Sober - Weekend of Palm Sunday, Portomarin - Easter, Quiroga - Easter, Monforte de Lemos - 15 and 16 May, Ferreira de Panton - 1st weekend in June.

Campo Verde, Vilatán, Galicia

Review Submitted: September 28, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Craig & Melanie, the owners, have produced an immaculate holiday home as a result of high quality building, superb finishes and an incredibly knowledgeable attention to detail. Their own descriptions of the property are understated. This is five star and sets the standard.

In addition to the superb interior, there are outside terraces which provide comfortable sitting areas to suit the orientation of the sun, and which, therefore, provide shade, when needed, throughout the day.

Information, by way of a detailed household manual and visitors guide, had been painstakingly assembled and provides all the information necessary to make the most of the stay of whatever duration. This enables Guests to make the most of the time available without missing the essential viewing.

The house is ideally situated to be a superb base from which to visit the major towns and cities of Galicia, none of which is out of reach for a day trip, from this centrally located village of friendly Galicians.

This property provides a very rare opportunity to experience a holiday home which has been created by people who care and who know what is required to make your stay exceptional.
Owner's Response: We aim to provide guests with the highest standards of accommodation and a level of service that surpasses their expectations. Our exclusive range of self-drive tours allows both new and returning visitors the opportunity to discover hidden treasures not found in many tourist guides. For those seeking rest and relaxation our beautifully restored farmhouse provides the highest levels of luxury living.

Our Holiday in Galicia

Wacker Daventry, Northants, UK
Review Submitted: October 8, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Having stayed on two previous occasions with these owners at a different property, we expected an exceptionally high standard and were not disappointed. The house, located in a small Galician village is ideally situated for access to local towns and for touring the picturesque countryside. A car is essential. The house is very well equipped, comfortable and immaculate. The owners make a point of calling round on the first morning to ensure that all is totally satisfactory and to advise on all local facilities etc. Realistic reviews of a range of restaurants, both local and further afield proved to be very helpful, including facilities allowing for our very limited knowledge of the Spanish language. Of particular benefit is a very well documented range of recommended self drive tours with points of historical and scenic interest highlighted; much more user friendly than the normal tourist guides.
An excellent holiday location!

Our holiday in Galicia

L & H from Scotland Glasgow, Scotland
Review Submitted: September 2, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
After spending our first week at the seaside, we were looking forward to being in the countryside - and Campo Verde provided the ideal base.

The information we received from the owners, was extremely helpful, including hand-drawn maps and details about the house and area. This converted farmhouse is surrounded by peaceful countryside. It has two outside terraces - one at the side of the house which is very private and one at the front, at the end of a lovely driveway up to the house.

The house itself is solid, stylish and sophisticated, with everything finished to the highest standard. We found it clean and offering every possible facility we could need. The owner offered to have a 'starter pack' of provisions bought in for us - and this was much appreciated after a long drive.

We found two books of information - one, listing all the house facilities with detailed instructions ...TV channels, washing machine, ceramic hob etc. The other book contained a collection of 'self-drive tours' to help us to find routes and interesting places in the immediate area and further afield. We were most impressed with this book. It allowed us to find special places that we would never have found on our own.

The owners were very friendly but they respected our privacy and were careful not to disrupt us more than necessary. The thing we most appreciated about Campo Verde (apart from the pleasure of living in such an elegant house) was its privacy - the side terrace is completely private. We were able to read and sun-bathe in complete peace and privacy.

We would not hesitate in recommending this property. We prefer to cook for ourselves, so we did not sample any restaurants, (but again, the owners had helpfully provided a selection of restaurant reviews.) We enjoyed visiting local towns, following the self-drive routes to places 'off the beaten track' and, as we are both keen water-colour painters, sketching and painting in the lovely Galician countryside. Campo Verde provided us with a peaceful, relaxing and very enjoyable holiday experience.
