The smart beige and cream decorated hotel is tucked away on a back street, off the main square and just up the steep road from the harbour. It is\u00a0conveniently situated on the edge of town and on week-nights it is\u00a0warm and quiet with welcoming rooms and free wi-fi Internet access (a boon to the travelling digital addict). The breakfasts are\u00a0top-notch with a nice big cup of strong coffee and home made cake.<\/p>\n<p>But the main reason I mention it is the wonderful job that Jose Carlos and his builders have done in renovating a shell into such a delightful hotel, with many features\u00a0similar to those that\u00a0we&#8217;d like to have in our Casa Rural. Starting with the bathrooms, bright, modern, well lit and with top-of-the-line installations such as this amazing multi-function walk-in shower.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_605\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rolleshower.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-605\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-605\" title=\"rolleshower\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rolleshower-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rolleshower-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rolleshower.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-605\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ultra-modern bathrooms<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The rooms have exposed hand-pointed stonework and the windows are double glazed with these brilliant hand-made shutters which fit snugly into place and keep out any daylight and street noise.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_606\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rolledoors.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-606\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-606\" title=\"rolledoors\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rolledoors-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rolledoors-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rolledoors.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-606\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hand-made shutters<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Finally, each room has a theme and a unique name which owes something to the framed photographs taken\u00a0by the owner and some point in his long and illustrious past.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_607\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rollepicture.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-607\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-607\" title=\"rollepicture\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rollepicture-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rollepicture-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.visitgalicia.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/rollepicture.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-607\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Old Galicia<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This really is a nice place to stay, not overly expensive and certainly far cheaper than the Ribadeo Parador which, to be honest is a bit of a disappointment.
