Excellent cozy retreat in the mountains
Pros: Beautiful location, the house and the surroundings are absolutely lovely. The facilities are superbly maintained, the room was very spacious and clean, and the staff was super welcoming. Excellent breakfast with local food.
Cons: The only thing we did not love was the absence of any dinner option in the hotel. The staff does a great job at providing plenty of restaurant options in the surroundings, but given the lack of supermarkets in the area (especially on weekends) it would have been perfect to have the option to grab a sandwich or a burger at the hotel, and fully enjoy the comfort of the facilities, without having to leave to grab dinner.

A very pleasant stay in a unique place
Pros: The hotel offers a truly unique experience, as it is the result of a thoughtful rehabilitation of historic buildings. You can enjoy various cozy spaces perfect for an evening chat, such as the library and living room. The rooms are exceptionally warm, ensuring comfort even on the coldest days. The breakfast is outstanding, offering excellent quality for the price. To top it all off, a guided tour of the hotel and its fascinating history adds an unforgettable touch to the stay.
Cons: The rooms would benefit from the addition of a courtesy tea maker.

A great surprise during our road trip and wish we could have stayed longer.
Pros: Everything! A unique experience in an updated Manor House. The hostess was exceptional and gave us an individual tour explaining the history, renovations and additions they have made. The rooms were individual and modern. A real find at a bargain price. Well worth the journey. The surrounding countryside was picturesque. The wine they produce on site is also very nice.
Cons: Absolutely nothing.

a dedicated manger/owner would made the difference
Pros: The excellent architectural renovation. the gardens. The decoration, although overdue to my personal taste Breakfast was fair, in line with the type of accommodation
Cons: I didn’t realise when booking, that this accommodation, is a 5* Albergue for Santiago Pilgrims, and that is what it is! with all that facilities that you expect for a stop over Restaurant is not available, so you must get on the car and travel a couple of km But again, I didn’t read the small lines Shower floor is slippery, and the door opens the wrong way

Break on Ribeira Sacra
Pros: The building (Pazo) is unique. Very well preserved keeping the atmosphere but yet very confortable. Common areas were as they would have been 100 years ago. I loved the visit were Pazo staff explained us the history of the building and former owners. The breakfast was very good A buffet with lots of local products. I loved the bica and the local meat products. Prior to arrival Pazo da Pena sent us an email detailing the local atractions and places to have lunch and dinner. Pazo Staff was very helpfull. Everything was design to make the experience even more enjoyable.
Cons: It is very hard to find something negative to say. It may be that you need to plan where to have your lunch and dinner because there is only little villages around. Now I know what is the morriña, counting the days for my next hollidays to have a chance to come back
