Pazo do Río

For a quiet, safe, restful stay with free parking. It is located in a semi-secluded area, preferably you need a car. Great stay...fantastic service and YES, I would stay there again. I stayed there on my own, this time, however, I would book the self contained chalets (that's what I call them) when I return with my family.

Maria, in the evening when we arrived, spoke English, was very helpful in telling us about the area, local buses, etc. And especially helpful in telephoning the airport about our missing suitcase which is a regular occurrence here. (It is still missing five days into the holiday). A Coruna is an interesting town and has a long marina. Also an old medieval town where there was a festival going with many people in costume.

it must be out of season still beginning of June. We booked 3 adults because we couldn't book 2adults and 1 child but still got one double bed. The caretaker spoke only Spanish and we could only figure out that one of us had to sleep downstairs on the couch. Only a scratchy blanket and a sausage roll pillow was in the closet. Unfortunately my husband got to "camp out" on the couch. Otherwise I could see myself spending a few days there lounging by the pool and relaxing. There is nothing in the area so the caretaker sent us into town by taxi for a meal, there was no restaurant available in the hotel. It is an unusual hotel, small individual apartments in rows on the property, the Pazo is the old mansion above where you have your meals.Apts are 2 story: bed and bath upstairs, living/dining and kitchen downstairs. Lots of weeding needs to be done, which is why we think they had not yet opened for the summer season. It's a lovely property however.

Its our little secret, so im not going to tell you the apartments are little house, set it very nice grounds, the staffing are great very helpful, local restaurants tend to be closed Monday and Tuesday. Supermarket are easy to get to, the apartments are at the end of a very narrow lane, There is a bus service into A Coruna, €3,20 return, with lots to see and do, and catch a train to Santiago. The coast is fantastic, and can be wild, it is the Atlantic.the air is clean. It is not the Mediterranean, tourists will find it layed back, so if your looking for real spain its the place, if your looking for Benardorm,please don't go to Galicia, I cannot leave any photo's as i lost my phone
