Casita A Rocha
Your peaceful retreat in rural Galicia
A charming stone cottage nestled in nature, just minutes away from Galicia's most beautiful beaches
A Corner of Authentic Galicia
The art of slow living at its finest
Casita A Rocha is a charming 25m² stone cottage, fully restored and nestled in the serene Cerdido valley, surrounded by rolling hills. This intimate refuge invites you to unwind and immerse yourself in the unhurried rhythm of authentic Galician life. Wake to the sound of birdsong, breathe in fresh mountain air, and surrender to nature's embrace. The cottage is thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort within its compact footprint, featuring a cozy open-plan living room with kitchenette and sofa bed, a full bathroom with shower, and two sleeping spaces upstairs. The true magic unfolds in the garden: a tranquil sanctuary with shaded and sunny corners, perfect for dining al fresco, barbecues, yoga sessions, or simply soaking in the views across the meadow while showering under the stars. Everything you need is just a 5-10 minute drive away: supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, restaurants, and unparalleled beaches for swimming or surfing. Yet you're far enough removed to experience genuine rural peace.
