The views from the property are lovely overlooking the valley of Ferreira de Panton and the mountains of the Ribeira Sacra.

The name Ribeira Sacra means “sacred riverbanks”, derived from the many churches and monasteries on these river banks, founded by religious orders in the Middle Ages. A good example is a beautiful Romanesque church located at less than 2 km from the property.

The charming medieval town of Monforte de Lemos is located at 16 km (15 minutes by car) and offers all necessary amenities and services, such as a hospital, hypermarkets, all kind of local shops, banks, schools, bars and restaurants, etc.

During the Middle Ages, Monforte de Lemos became an important town in Galicia. Here you can still find many interesting historical monuments. Worth to visit are for example the huge 17th century building of Nuestra Señora de Antigua (well known as El Cardenal, with some paintings of El Greco in a museum), the monastery of San Vicente do Pino and the medieval castle and palace of the counts of Lemos (today a “Parador” state owned hotel), the old Jewish quarter, the convent of “Las Clarisas” with an important museum of sacred art and the lovely medieval bridge over the river Cabe.
