General information

A Casa da Eira, bed&breakfast and rural apartment, is an ancient Galician farm house from the beginning of the 20th Century. It has been completely restored respecting the traditional building material, wood and granite stone – without neglecting modern facilities such as central heating and hot water supply, en suite bathrooms, comfortable beds with cotton bed-clothes.

The most out striking element of the house is its characteristic balcony – here we call it “corredor” - from which one can enjoy a view on the River Sil Canyon. It is the ideal place to provide shadow on hot summer days or end up an eventful day having a last glass of aguardiente.

Whether you prefer to sit down to the breakfast table at the B&B or you are tempted by the possibility of self-catering in the apartment, both options will surprise you with its combination of ancient and new, tradition and innovation.

The accommodation is run by Adolfo González, Susanne Neven and their little daughters Inés and Helena who will warmly welcome you and do their best to make your stay comfortable and rich in impressions.

A Casa da Eira is situated in Alberguería (Ourense), a village at the upper part of the river Sil Canyon in midst the historical area of "The Ribeira Sacra" known for its Romanesque monasteries. Our village is surrounded by hundred-year-old chestnut woods.

Numerous activities can be undertaken in the near surroundings such as hill walking, canoeing, climbing, swimming in the nearby dam, mountain biking and waterway excursions through the river Sil Canyon, etc.

Smoking is not permitted (according to law 28/2005 of 26/12/05). Animals are not admitted (except blind man’s guide). Washing machine available.

BED&BREAKFAST
The double rooms (135x200 double bed) are spacious and comfortable with en suite bathroom. Four of the five rooms (first floor) face the garden (south) and the fifth room on the ground floor has a private entrance (north).

The generous common space invites to read, share the table and exchange experiences with other travellers or to have a Scrabble game at nightfall. The three rooms – living room and dinning room with open fire on the ground floor and the two reading rooms on the intermediate and first floor – allow each guest to find “his/her” place and encourage to benefit from the free cafeteria-self-service with fair trade tea and coffee.
