Here is an almost perfect seaside resort on the northwest Galician coastline that has a pretty harbour and its own small fishing fleet. A 2km long beach runs in a wide bay and this sleepy resort has also a high street with a good choice of restaurants and several bars offering very reasonable prices.

This coastline has a rather macabre name - Costa del Morte or coast of death. However don’t worry! This title refers to the shipwrecks and loss of life over many centuries due to the rocks and winter storms for which the area has a reputation rather like Cornwall.

Our hotel is located in an ideal spot being almost on the beach (30 yards walk) and in the centre and a choice of restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk.

The hotel is newly built just a year ago and offers spacious rooms which include several family suites – with just 30 rooms the property will appeal to many people because it is small and family run. Daughter Silvia is the receptionist and speaks fluent English and can give advise on the area and recommended restaurants.

Breakfast is included and although the hotel has a specious bar and lounge area along with a breakfast room it has no restaurant. However the nearest one is just across the street and offers good seafood cuisine from £10 upwards.

Rooms are really good size having double-glazing and offer Satellite TV, air conditioning, mini bar and the en-suite bathrooms are supplied with hairdryer. There is a private garage basement area.

The family rooms are suites, which offer only one bathroom with bath shower WC, & washbasin. They offer a lounge with a double sofa bed, easy chairs and a separate bedroom, which has twin beds. Really good size and very comfortable.
