Our holiday in Galicia
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.
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.
