Entre os Ríos

“Entre os Ríos” (between the rivers) is into a property of 5 hectares.
It is at the bank of the River Barbanza or Pedras; place where the river is divided into two branches making an island. The house, which is older than three hundred years, was some millers’ home. Milling and cultivating the land were these people’s jobs. At the end of the 70’s, it was bought by its present owners who are taking care of the indigenous flora, restoring the mills and spreading the Albariño grape cultivation.
Recently, part of this house has been restored to combine its private use with the new lodgings for nature lovers. There are all the comforts which are essential nowadays (heating, dehumidification system, hot water…). To tell the truth, it is a small village that consists of several buildings which have different functions and are placed surrounding a small square.
Walking through the vineyards, which are located on the hillside of the valley, is very pleasant. At the bank of the river, you will see the indigenous forest: “carballos” (oaks), “ameneiros” (alders), “salgueiros” (willows), “abeleiras” (hazelnut trees), “loureiros” (bays), “acibos” (holly trees)…; they will give you shade and aroma. In the forest, visitors have, at their disposal, a sauna with wood heater beside a cold running water pool. Excellent location, without any pollution, where you will just hear the chirp of birds and the babbling of water.
