Our Stay at Catro Faros, Galicia
This year we decided to have our friends reunion in Galicia last April. After looking at several options, we decided to go for which ended up being the best choice, Catro Faros, an amazing five bedroom villa located on the coast.
Galicia is very accessible by air, as it has four airports near by (Vigo, Santiago, A Coruna and O Porto) After hiring a car we headed to the Rias Baixas where the villa is located.
The villa is in an exceptional spot, on the tip of a mountain, overlooking the valley with an exceptional 360 degrees view to the open Atlantic Ocean. The name of the villa, "Catro Faros" relates to "Four light houses", at night you can see four different light houses lighting up ahead of you.
The house is very modern and of an exquisite design. All little details have been looked after from the owners, who showed a lot of care for our well-being during our stay.
At our arrival we were very satisfied to see how the pictures we found on the Internet matched completely with the status of the house, was very well maintained and properly cleaned. The bedrooms are very spacious, and counted with all the facilities needed for our comfort. The common areas are very well designed, we could enjoy breakfast from the middle terrace, the kids could enjoy the pool in the ground floor and we could all see the sunset from the upper terrace, overlooking the four Light houses and the sun disappearing in the ocean in front of us. We know also that the rain is a very characteristic feature of Galicia, and for those days we could enjoy the rain looking at it from the big glass that surrounds the house, whilst seating on the living room, having a glass of wine with the company of the fire place that is available.
The villa is in a great spot to move around Galicia, very close to Portonovo, Sanxenxo, Cambados, Combarro and Santiago to name some, made it very easy for us to visit all these areas within a relative small distance. There are several restaurants nearby, where we definitely enjoyed the Galician gastronomy and its recognized wine. For sure we will go back to Catro faros and will recommend it with high marks! Thank you to the hosts, for sure they know how to create a memorable atmosphere.
