About this property

At the head of an untouched valley some 200m above sea, 'Lugar pequeno' is located in a place of privilege in the small hamlet of Golmar. The house, fully equipped, is the owners' summer home. It fusions tradition and family memories with a modern touch. All rooms and garden enjoy impressive ocean views over a green valley, forest and some 80Km of virgin Atlantic coast. The house’s unique location make the clean views over the unspoiled valley a natural extension of the garden. It receives sunlight from dawn to sunset. Within a Natural area, part of the EU network "Natura 2000", you will enjoy complete peacefulness, being only at 4 Km distance to the fishing town of Cedeira, with shops, all services, lovely beach and seaport, and very good tapas restaurants.

Nearby, you will enjoy some of the best sandy virgin beaches in Europe and outstanding hiking paths from the house through the forest, cliffs, the lighthouse.... Other activities, like surfing, horse riding,, e-bikes or kayak are available in the area.

Beaches: You can choose among beaches with extensive dunes and wonderful views (Vilarube), calm water (A Magdalena) or high waves (Pantin, Baleo) , birdwatching or kite-surfing(Frouxeira), etc. Cala Sonreiro is the hidden cove beach closer to the house, near to 'Castillo de La Concepción' (ancient fort defending Cedeira´s harbour).
In summer, “Pantin classic” is a well-known qualifying series of the world surfing championship.
Last weekend of June local ranchers gather hundreds of wild horses in Capelada mountains (12Km away), to haircut and deworming horses, branding foals born in springtime and trading some of them. A small fair and lively lunch accompanies these activities.

Excursions : Other interesting spots to visit (within less than one-hour drive) are, driving East, Estaca de Bares Cape, Ortigueira, O Barqueiro and Viveiro and, driving West, the Natural Park Fragas do Eume, Pontedeume or St. Felipe castle in Ferrol.

The cities of A Coruña or Santiago de Compostela, are excellent options for a day excursion (at 75 and 90 min-drive). Santiago is a must, its medieval centre is UNESCO´s world heritage, with the impressive cathedral (tomb of the apostle St. James) has been pilgrimage destination for centuries. A Coruña, financial centre of Galicia and home of the biggest Spanish fashion firm, Zara, and the well-know beer "Estrella Galicia", is a lively city with a wide range of cultural, gastronomic and shopping possibilities, as well as a very nice old medieval quarter and marina. Inland, Lugo (100 min. drive) is an ancient city surrounded by an impressive complete Roman wall (walking circular path of some 2 Km on the wall). Its charming old town includes a XII century cathedral, a baroque town hall and lovely squares and alleys.

How to get to: Flights to the airports of Santiago de Compostela (SCQ) or A Coruna (LCG) are often available. The 1.15 hour or 1.30 hour drive from A Coruña or Santiago airports is a pleasure in itself.

Galician Idyll

There were 6 of us (3 couples) from the UK. We spent 2 weeks in this very lovely house. The location was superb with views over the sea. The house was well appointed with all that you could possibly need for a great holiday. Everything worked as it ought to and provided a fabulous base from which we could explore the immediate and wider locality of Northern Spain. The local walking is excellent through eucalyptus forests; wider afield there are coastal pathways overlooking magnificent scenery. The local town provides everything would need with good supermarkets, fresh food shops and of course plenty of fresh fish of all descriptions. We visited one or two of the restaurants and found them very good indeed. The local tourism office is extremely helpful. We should definitely come back another time.

Stayed 14 nights in May 2018

Wonderful fortnight

We really enjoyed our fortnight stay at Lugar Pequeno, a wonderful house high in the hills above Cedeira. The views are magnificent and the afternoons and early evenings get lots of sunshine; all very quiet and peaceful. The property is well appointed and everything works! We brought our bikes with us and cycled every day - the roads are quiet and there are some great, though very hilly, rides in this part of Galicia. Stage 4 of the 2016 Vuelta came through Cedeira and finished above San Andres de Teixido, a sanctuary which is well worth a visit. Cedeira itself is a nice town, with lots of good cafes and restaurants. A Coruna is an hour or so away in the car and well worth a visit; we stayed there one night and then took the train to Santiago (30 minutes by train from A Coruna) for a short visit, an arrangement that worked well for us. So, five stars from us.

Lugar Pequeno: beautiful house, stunning views

The house is beautifully presented and very comfortable. We found that everything we needed for our stay was to hand. The views from the terrace across the garden to the ocean are magnificent. The location is peaceful but relatively accessible (car required, winding uphill road through forest). There are many beautiful beaches within a short drive, and the attractive town of Cedeira offers numerous cafes, bars and restaurants as well as shops, banks etc. Recommended.

Lovely views from a fine building

Grand three level very modern house. Well equipped. Lovely views down the valley to the sea below (house is about 600' up above) and wide ranging coastal vista to headlands in the distance.

So Sad To Leave!

We've stayed in many a vacation rental and most have been positive experiences, to varying degrees. This Galician gem will certainly forever be at the top of our list of favorites and we were really, really sad to leave. The house is fabulous - everything to the highest standard of aesthetic and comfort. The location is to live for! A little tricky sometimes negotiating the narrow curving roads, but worth every ounce of trepidation because it is all worth it! The owners were wonderful in their communications and responsiveness. Galicia is a most special place and Cedeira (we never could pronounce it to the satisifaction of our Galician acquaintances) isj dreamy - it's of another time, and the time we prefer - slow, gentle, and welcoming. Don't miss Pepe and his Taberna o Puntal just outside of town! Tell him the folks from New Mexico sent you! We will probably never return, but we shall never forget! Thank you, Macarena, for sharing your beautiful home with us!

About the host

Hosted by Macarena and Juan

Being my husband and his family originally from this region, we have always enjoyed our summer holidays here. We come as often as we can. It is our private haven to escape from everyday hassles and fusses. A house thought for escaping, relaxing and entertaining our close friends and family, with all we need to feel comfortable and at home.

Why they chose this property

The first time we visited Golmar, we immediately felt the magic and beauty of the place and started to make plans. This was our personal project, and we have moved here a good part of our family memories to feel at home and relaxed. We have never looked back or regret our decision. The more we travel, the more we realise how unique this place is.

What makes this property unique

Simply, very difficult to find a better getaway: you have clean views from EVERY room of the house, you have the unspoiled nature at your feet, you have the peace and the uniqueness of the place. We have enjoyed the most impressive sunsets from outside and inside the house. The house is also perfect for sharing because you have different living areas: porch and garden outdoors; a living room with two sitting areas, a separate TV room, a dining area indoors and a nice garden in two levels with a sun-bathing area and a dine "al fresco" area.
