Golmar 13

Clinging to a forested ridge, gazing at a vast expanse of sea, this fine old ‘casa grande’ invites you to share its spectacular position on the northernmost tip of Spain. Inviting and charming, with traditional furniture and original features, the ground floor is warmed by an open fire and glows with prints and paintings. Upstairs, breathtaking views take in 90km of coastline; gaze through the telescope in the family room – next stop Newfoundland! Simple bedrooms sport pretty pastels and chestnut furniture, while the master bedroom is more luxurious, with its claw-foot bath (and loo) on an open-plan mezzanine above. Village elder Manolo has the keys, neighbours are welcoming and there’s masses of information about walks, activities and adventures. Swing in the hammock while the kids climb trees in the lawned garden or play table tennis on rainy days. Another world… yet you are minutes from Cedeira with its fishing boats and famous tapas bars. The beaches are Spain’s best-kept secret: a vision of blues and greens, white sands and tree-fringed coves along Galicia’s breathtaking coast.
