Casa de Afora Casa con piscina y jacuzzi privados

Nice welcome and orientation. Quiet and had all facilities.

Breakfast is not included but fresh eggs, oranges and a fully equipped kitchen is provided. Additionally there are drinks and refreshments provided complimentary. Extraordinary acreage situated above Santiago with a jacuzzi grotto, access to a swimming pool and a very private garden. Peaceful but accessible.

Communication with Maria was excellent, both before ad during our stay. When we arrived Maria and her son provided ample explanation of the house and getting in to the centre of Santiago. Maria had left loads of food for us, including a galecian pie and apple tart, and other things to numerous to mention. This was especially appreciated, as we had just finished the Camino, so it meant that we did not have to go out for dinner on the first evening. The property has a lovely pool and hot tub. Unfortunately the weather was too bad to use the pool, but the hot tub was beautifully set in the rocks, so could be used at any time. The house is beautiful and full of character. We made great use of the orange tree in the garden for freshly squeezed orange juice in the morning. The centre of Santiago is a 40 minute walk, or £1 on the bus. Maria also organised a taxi for us to the airport. If we come back to Santiago again I would definitely stay at Casa de Afora again!

The home was beautiful, tastefully decorated and so well equipped! The kitchen in particular is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It was also so appreciated that there was more than enough coffee and tea (Most places these days don't even give you enough for the number of days you're staying x number of guests, not the case here!). The property is stunning, the pool and hot tub were so lovely - the weather did not cooperate well for the pool so I used it as a cool plunge tub and then warmed back up in the hot tub. And even more than all of the above, Maria was the perfect host! She was warm, friendly, and helpful and greeted us upon arrival to show us everything and even left us some welcome treats :) she also helped us get the fireplace going which was much appreciated as we arrived on quite a damp, wet day.

This is a really special house and Maria is a wonderful host. It was great to easily get into the centre of Santiago de Compostela and then get away again to the garden, the pool and the hot tub.
