About this property

Charming villa from the 18th Century beautifully restored

This country house from the 18th century is located in the small village of “A Xesteira”, in Galicia. It has been lovingly restored in a traditional style, maintaining its ancient touch while offering all the mod-cons desirable for today´s lifestyle. It is a perfect spot for a family retreat in an unspoiled natural site unchanged for centuries.
The house adapts itself to the slope of the ground. Come to cozy up in its charming lounge with a roaring fireplace to gather around. The dining room seats 8 guests and the kitchen leads directly to a beautiful verandah shaded by a centenary lemon tree. The villa has 4 double en-suite bedrooms, each with beautiful views of the leafy outside. The property, dominated by a traditional “hórreo”, gets lost into the forest, filled with mighty oak trees and mimosas.
Within 2 minutes walking you will find an idyllic river surrounded by chestnut trees with its branches falling into the water. Wandering around you will discover some old waterwheels and amazing landscapes to go for a stroll.
To access the property you have to take a steep slope and some people find it difficult the first time. Everyone gets used to it after a couple of tries, but we like to inform from the beginning! ;-)

Beautiful house in amazing location

We loved our stay here. The location of the house was amazing and well situated for visiting the local area. We really enjoyed swimming in the local river and watching the sun go down from the swimming pool. Teresa provided some fantastic local recommendations for places to visit and was really helpful both before and during our stay.

Very special home in Galicia

This house felt like it had its own personality! Teresa was awesome and very responsive, and staying in this home felt like a magical experience! The daily fresh bread was a special treat- we very much enjoyed our time here and look forward to returning.

Paradies

Incredible country house/villa with lots of historical elements. Beautiful terraces! Wonderful pool and park around the villa where there are many places where you can zit and relax with also stunning vieuws! The first days it was difficult to concentrate on reading a book when you see such beautiful things around….. Very lovely host which welcomes you with bottle of wine and cheese from the area. There was every morning fresh bread hanging at the entrance! There was also a very nice restaurant at the edge of the village with lovely people and good food. We think we travelled a lot - but this was one of the most beautiful places we ever rented! Mochas gracias Teresa!

Family holiday

Beautiful property. Very comfortable, homely and well equipped. Host provided a much appreciated welcome basket with wine and cheese. Everything was as described online. The location is remote which we personally love, however others may not. Car is essential. The entrance to the property is very steep and narrow (as is very common in the region), we ended up parking on the roadside and walking up and down to the house. We feel the one thing missing was a ‘welcome pack’ detailing local resources and suggested activities, as we did have to spend a lot of time researching information online. All in all, we would definitely recommend this property and would go again.

Relax and enjoy

What a wonderful home. The location is great and the house is simply stunning. Everything was as described and our host Theresa both greeted us and came to say good bye when we left. The house was spotless and has all the amenities you need. Even our teenage kids were very happy. The added bonus was the beautifully clean river with its large (70m and 50m) pool and clean sandy bank just a 5 minute walk away. Thank you very much. We hope to come again.

Living The Vida Española!

My husband and I escaped to Te Cuento3 following a desire to immerse ourself in España! My 23 yo son stayed with us for a few days as a bridge between Camino with mom and then resuming with a friend. Mom needed a rest after 8 days of walking! Then, my cousin and her husband joined us for a week. The home is spacious and provided us with ample gathering spaces inside and out! The sunset views from the property are gorgeous. We enjoyed cooking over wood, made a seafood paella and chuletón! Teresa is a gracious and responsive host! From planning the trip during the COVID lockdown where she was flexible with the pandemic shifts, to meeting my husband to check in, and so gracious with beach, restaurants and local chiringuito recommendations. Each place was top notch! We explored the beaches in Bueu, Cangas, the port of Ardan, the city of Pontevedra, the wineries of Rías Biaxas and more! All within 30-60 minutes away. The home is a casa rural, built in the 17th century. It has been lovingly restored and decorated with an eye towards traditional style , beautiful ceramics, copper pots, a copper still and oven. There are modern elements where needed in the kitchen, bathrooms and linens. The towels and linens are crisp and clean white with personal embroidery. As expected with a historic home, there was a need to call Teresa for property maintenance- nothing major- a water leak outside and some plumbing issues. She responded immediately and had each remedied immediately without any inconvenience to our stay. The one downside of the rural nature of the home and it’s remote location was poor and inconsistent WiFi. Seeing as we had an extended stay of three weeks, we unfortunately did have to work during our stay. I found a great telework spot in Pontevedra, Peregrina 25, where I was able to set myself up for work. We look forward to returning, perhaps in 2023! I highly recommend Teresa’s home. Gracias Teresa!

Experiencia inmejorable!

Hemos pasado un fin de semana inmejorable en esta casa que es mucho más bonita en la realidad que en las fotos. La comunicación con la dueña genial tanto para la llegada como para las indicaciones necesarias en la casa. No le faltaba nada para pasar un fin de semana espectacular. Estamos deseando volver, muchas gracias por todo!

Dépaysement total

Magnifique maison qui dépayse, une impression de voyager au milieu de souvenirs. Accueil chaleureux, lieux et équipements fidèles aux photos. La situation dans les terres permet de profiter de Pontevedra, rias et plages, mais aussi du patrimoine archéologique de la région et surtout des caves des Rias Baixas (l'albariño étant probablement le meilleur vin blanc du monde!).

Great location, peaceful and truly relaxing

Fantastic property set in the heart of the country side of Pontevedra. Sara and Terasa have created a wonderful, peaceful and charming villa and where the perfect hosts – very attentive and helpful during our stay. The food of the region is phenomenal and sitting consuming this with a few glasses of local wine on the veranda was blissful. The daily delivery of bread in the morning was a treat. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a retreat from the pressures of life. Thanks again Sara and Teresa.

Sin dudarlo, para repetir!

Esta casa rural, a la altura y comparable con los alojamientos tipo "Encanto", no tiene desperdicio. Excelentes comodidades, calidez de los ambientes, ubicación (muy cerca de Pontevedra) e impecable trato y atención de los propietarios. Algunas características: Todas las habitaciones con baño, chimenea en salón y una habitación, calefacción en cada ambiente, totalmente equipada, lavadora, TV y wifi (de la que no se interrumpe). Fácil acceso aunque un poco justo la entrada de coches para vehículos grandes. Para repetir en familia o con amigos.

tranquilidad y casa preciosa

Estuvimos pasando un fin de semana largo en la provincia de Pontevedra mis hijos, mi marido y yo. Nos alojamos en esta preciosa casa. Las propietarias cuidan mucho todos los detalles (a mi hijo le dejaron un regalito y para nosotros, una cesta con productos gallegos). La casa está en un pueblecito al lado de Pontevedra. La finca es muy amplia, te da la sensación de estar en el monte y tiene su propio horreo. Mis hijos estuvieron todo el día jugando allí mientras nosotros disfrutábamos de la chimenea. Lo único malo es que mis hijos, los primeros días, se morían de miedo al ver las vacas pasando por los caminos!

Perfect Stay!!!!!!

We traveled with friends, some couples and singles, just to hang around together with the privacy of a house without neighbors. Our stay was absolutely amazing. The house is beautiful, lovely views and beautiful indoor spaces. Every detail has been taken care of, with all the mod-cons combined tastefully with a traditional look. It was the most comfortable house I've rented, luxurious! And it felt like a real home. We really enjoyed gathering around the fireplace, and for great meals in the dining room having endless conversations, drinks and music. Hosts were very helpful, we felt so exclusive. They offered us a very singular and personalize attention advising us for the best plans to go for on the area. Surroundings are beautiful to go for walk. We were retired but also not too far from civilization by car, to do some day trips. We learned that they had some other houses that we'd love to visit too, as we had such a good experience with "tecuento 3". Thank you Teresa!

Peace and nature all together!

Everything of this villa is magic, my husband and I discovered this secret palace 2 years ago and we return each year for a 2 week break. It's a beautifully restored Galician villa surrounded with a big garden hidden in the woods. It has been modernised to have all comfort during a vacational stay but it remains loyal to the traditional architecture and decoration from the north of Spain. There are loads of great walks in the area over hills, in woods and along the long beaches...I cannot describe the beauty of the site! My children have a great time playing in freedom, it is a very calm and safe area. The living room is very cosy we love to prepare brunch when we wake up late, but we spend most of the time relaxing in the large verandah, which is simply great. Terrific seafood and wine, there are taverns and restaurants not far away from the villa! The best way to come for us is to rent a car from the airport, having a car is highly recommended as all the area is worthwhile seeing. Teresa, the owner, took care of every detail since the moment we contacted her. She has spent many vacations in this villa, it is part of her life, so she knows everything about the place. I appreciate people like her, she takes pleasure in making discover new paces to people. She proposed us small journeys, good gastronomie and explained us how to reach to the most beautiful part of the coast. She is always willing to help. We are already planning to return this spring with some friends!
