About this property

Charming stone cottage in beautiful country estate close to the river.

O Cafexo is a charming 27,000 sq.m. finca on the banks of a beautiful river. The farm has a great botanical richness, fruit trees and forests of oaks and chestnuts. The house overlooks the hills and vineyards and is very quiet. The house has two bedrooms with a spacious kitchen, living room with a fireplace and a large outdoor area with table, chairs, sun beds, hammock and swings. The river is ideal for swimming, rowing, fishing and walking. There is a large space for children with swings, trampoline, table tennis and a private river port. O Cafexo is located 55 km from Santiago de Compostela, 12 km from the beautiful city of Pontevedra, 40 km from the beautiful port of Bayonne and 40 km from fascinating Portugal. The best beaches of the Rias Baixas are half an hour away and the ferry to the Natural Park of the Atlantic Islands is 24 km away. It is the perfect place for a relaxing family holiday in nature and is also not far from the main tourist attractions of the region and Portugal.
Surroundings: O Cafexo is located in the municipality of Sotomayor, Parroquia A Pedreira. The village Arcade, 2 km from the house, has the best oysters of the Ría de Vigo. Nearby: The castle of Sotomayor, with its old garden, and the Alto de la Peneda, with beautiful views over the Ría. There are many bridges over the river: Comboa at 2 km (Middle Ages), the hanging bridge at 1 km, and Pontesanpaio (Middle Ages) in Arcade. The church of San Salvador is a baroque building from the XVIII century. At the mouth of the river in Arcade there are two small beaches. In Puerto Deportivo you can rent boats for water sports.
Beaches: From O Cafexo you can quickly reach the Rías of Vigo, Pontevedra and Arousa. The beaches in these Rías Baixas are very different depending on their position in the ría (at the beginning or end), on the tide, and on orientation (north or south).
Between 10 and 25 minutes we reach Lapamán in the Ría de Pontevedra (20 minutes), or the beaches of the middle end of the Ría de Vigo: quiet, semi-urban and with mild waters like Arcade, Cesantes, Moaña.
_in 30/35 min.: Through the Corredor do Morrazo we reach the more beautiful beaches of Cangas and Bueu (Limés, Agrelo): open sea, fresh, with waves, several with blue flag.
_in 40/45 min.: At the end of Corredor do Morrazo there are semi-wild, wide, open, beautiful beaches, with good waves and cold clear water: Nerga, Barra (nudist), Menduiña, Mourisca, Lagos or Tuia. Continuing towards Via do Salnés: the beaches of Sanxenxo, the great beach of La Lanzada, those of Isla de Arousa, Cambados or Carril.
In 1 hour: the ones from Arousa and Noia, the dunes of Corrubedo.

Relaxed country stay
O Cafexo is a lovely property in very large grounds in a nice part of Galicia, within an easy drive of some fabulous beaches and interesting towns to visit. First impressions were that it was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and obviously well loved (in a good way). The house had everything we needed for our five day stay, and Mathilde who met us there was extremely lovely and helpful. The stone house is part of a larger estate. There are lots of fruit trees, specimen plants, small ponds with cascading water, beautiful old carved stonework and probably the thing that sets it apart from the other properties in the area is that it has a river frontage with its own small private harbour with rowing boats and a kayak. The river is lovely to swim in being clear and slow moving, half salt, half fresh water. I would imagine this would be a wonderful place to visit for families. Don't go expecting manicured gardens, this place is very much about getting back to nature and about enjoying being in the countryside. We really enjoyed the house, the river. Mathilde's kindness and most of all the three lovely dogs!

A secluded holiday house in a lovely part of Spain
A lovely place to stay. Secluded and quiet and well situated for local beaches and towns. You can swim and kayak in the river just a short walk down the drive and the Masso family are very friendly. We very much enjoyed our time there.

Idyllic country getaway
The cottage is located in a real piece of paradise in the verdant region of Galicia. We enjoyed spending time relaxing and playing in the garden with our daughter as well as doing day-trips around the region. The house is well-equipped and comfortable, and the gardens with extensive orchards, a hammock and access to the river are really quite idyllic. There are many towns and cities less than an hour away that are pleasant to wander around and all have fantastic places to eat seafood and sup wine. The cities of Pontevedra and Vigo are definitely worth exploring, as are smaller villages such as Cambarro. The natural beauty of the rias (like fiords cut deep into the land) is stunning on wet or fine days. We found the beaches quite packed in August, but they should be quieter in the shoulder or off seasons. The family who own the property (and live in another home on it) are just lovely.

Lovely in every way!
This cottage was everything we wanted and MORE! The property was gorgeous, the host family was so welcoming and helpful, and the cottage itself is equipped with everything you could need to stay a while. So pack less, and relax more. We enjoyed fires on the cool nights, kayaking on the warm afternoons right from the property, and easy day trips throughout the Galicia region. The host family live on a different part of the farm, so the cottage has perfect privacy, but the hosts took care of every question we had. Even the family dogs treated us like long-lost friends and came to see us each day! I highly recommend staying here and experiencing the beauty and peace of a Spanish orchard for yourself. Thank you to the Masso family for sharing it with us!
