• A Casa da Eira is an ancient Galician farm house from the beginning of the XX Century. It has been completely restored in 2000 respecting the traditional building materials, basically wood (all treatments with LIVOS natural oils or similar) and granite stones – but without neglecting modern facilities such as central heating and hot water supply, private bathrooms, comfortable beds with cotton bed-clothes, etc. It is run by Adolfo González, Susanne Neven and their little daughter Inés who will warmly welcome you and do their best to make your stay comfortable and rich in impressions.
