Beautiful Apt by the Cathedral, in the Heart of the Old Town for up to 10 people

Located in the historic core of the city (declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site) this beautiful stone house has been in the family for generations and has been carefully renovated in keeping with its original charm. This spacious apartment occupies the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors of the house, contrasting the restored historical features of the house with all the perks of a new renovation. Newly finished hard-wood floors and exposed stone work can be seen throughout. On the second floor you will find an ample living room, a new eat-in kitchen and a spacious new bathroom with a walk-in shower. The house's original stone hearth has been preserved and incorporated into the new kitchen. It's fully-equipped with range, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee maker, microwave and all the cookware, cutlery, etc needed for preparing home-cooked meals. The living room, featuring original stone alcoves, is furnished with a large sofa that converts into a bed for 2 persons, a large expandable dining table, and wide-screen HDTV. Take the stairs up to the next floor of the house, passing old family photos spanning 5 generations, and you will find two spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom features a king-size bed and views of the Cathedral, while another bedroom has a queen size bed, a comfortable sofa and exposed stonework. Go up one more floor and you will find a sunny loft, with a sofa that doubles as a bed as well as 2 individual beds that can be placed together for couples. Curl up on the sofa with a good book, or peep out of the skylight for unparalleled views of the Cathedral and rooftops of Santiago de Compostela! Guests will enjoy free wireless internet (wi-fi) and the house is equipped with a new heating and air conditioning system.

Situated in the heart of the monumental district on the lively Rua Nova – just step outside the house and you will be enveloped in the history of the city. Follow the way of St. James to it's final destination: the renowned pilgrimage site of the Catedral de Santiago. Wander the lively stone streets under arcades and through enchanting passageways, through beautiful parks and secluded cloisters, to discover the many wonders of the city. As you go for a stroll you can enjoy typical music of the region offered by musicians on the surrounding streets and plazas. An amazing array of restaurants, cafes, shops, museums, bars, markets are just outside the door so you can easily sample the vibrant life of this city! And if you fancy a day trip, Galicia offers destinations galore: from exploring big cities and charming towns, to trekking through mountain trails and virgin forests, visiting solitary lighthouses atop dramatic sea-side cliffs or soaking in the sun on the coast's unspoilt beaches – you can have it all within a half hour's drive. If you have your own car, a public parking garage is just 2 minutes from the house under the Plaza de Galicia.

We are happy to help out with whatever you might need. Spanish, English, German, Slovene and some French are spoken - and all inquiries are welcome!

Please note that if your group is larger (up to 14 persons) or you would like to have more space, it's possible to rent the whole house in which case you also get the first floor apartment. Or if you are 4 persons or less, you can rent the first floor apartment, which is not as large and therefore cheaper. You can see these options at the following links:

Steps from the city, but a world away
Wonderful, like stepping back in time. To have beautiful ancient buildings just out side your door, more restaurants than you can count and a grocery store around the corner, with good cheap wine makes it a perfect place to stay.

Glorious location in the centre of the old quarter with views of the cathedral
Quirky characterful property over several floors. You couldn't beat it for atmosphere. It truly gives the visitor a taste of the old city.

Quaint and cute
This apartment was in a great location and the owners were friendly and easy to deal with. If you are a light sleeper I would be advised that it can be a little noisy in one of the bedrooms that faces the alleyway when the bars close on Friday and Saturday nights. Our kids didn't hear anything, but my husband and I could hear them during those hours. It didn't bother us too much.

Simply awesome!
Excellent communication. Perfect location – a little noisy because of the tourists, but you can still sleep.

Absolutely Miserable Stay in This Completely Misrepresented Apartment (stay 9 May to 19 May)
The only thing we can say good about this apartment was that the decor in the living room was pretty and the location in the old quarter was wonderful. Everything else was totally unsatisfactory. There was no heat in the bathroom and the temperatures were in the 30s and 40s (F). There was constant construction off the bathroom and kitchen from 9AM to 9PM every day. The hot water tank was only as big as a toilet tank so we always ran out of hot water when showering.It only lasted 3 minutes! The shower drain was clogged and there was nothing to unclog it with. And, the caretaker we were to contact if we needed assistance did not answer our requests for help. The stairs were very long and steep and treacherous for the middle-of-the-night bathroom trips. Bathroom was on a different floor than bedrooms. The entire apartment was moldy an triggered an allergic response so I became ill with an infection and had to take antibiotics. So I missed many days of vacation and had to remain sick in the moldy apartment. There were no smoke detectors. And, there was lots of wood construction. The butane tank supplying the gas for the stove and hot water heater ran out. There was no mention of this in the ad for the apartment. The new tank was down one flight of stairs on the landing. It was very heavy. It was all my senior-aged husband could do to drag it up all those stairs. Then we had to figure out how to unhook the old tank and hook up the new one. There was an internet site the owner mentioned in a piece of paper she had left as to how to do all this. The site did not work. We tried to get in touch with the contact person again but she did not respond. So we were left wondering what to do without causing a gas leak! Who wants all this frustration, anger, and illness on vacation? We did not . We left the apartment early just to be out of this disastrous rental apartment.So we wound up paying double to stay somewhere else. We would not suggest anyone rent this apartment. You can go camping for far less money or danger to your health.
