Now, let me tell you more about what awaits you in this cozy corner of the world.
Nestled in the municipality of Vila de Cruces (Pontevedra) in the Deza River basin, the house is surrounded by forests and rivers, offering a serene environment where you can unwind and reconnect with nature—pure and untouched.
Originally built in 1630, the house has a storied past. It once belonged to the monks of the Carboeiro Monastery, serving as a collection and storage point for tithes and as a customs house for travelers heading to the Monastery of San Esteban de Carboeiro. This historic connection endures, with an ancient medieval Roman road still passing through the surrounding forest and crossing the river.
The house underwent a remarkable transformation in the 1990s under the visionary guidance of Isabel Aguirre, one of Galicia's most celebrated landscape architects and restoration experts. Her work on the property in 1993 was a testament to her commitment to preserving history while breathing new life into it. With meticulous attention to detail, Aguirre used noble materials such as stone and wood to maintain the house’s original character and timeless charm.
We welcome like-minded individuals from around the world who seek the joy of life. Our home is ready for you to move in, located in a rural community filled with tranquility and surrounded by nature. We are delighted to have you with us in a space where cultural diversity and ideals come together, perfect for those seeking new experiences, meaningful connections, and unforgettable moments.

In the area and its surroundings, there are numerous hiking routes that change with the seasons, always offering something new. One highlight is the route that connects the Carboeiro Monastery with the Toxa River Waterfalls, the highest waterfall in Galicia, boasting a height of 70 meters, of which 30 meters are free fall. On all these treks, you can be guided by a biologist native to the region.
There are many natural bathing areas in the river, as well as the A Carixa river beach. Less than 1000 meters from the house, there is also a hot spring spa.
In addition to its splendid nature, the small town of Merza (just a short walk from home) hosts various cultural and sports activities, such as the “Galaico Brass Festival” music festival, the “A Carixa” Trail, fishing activities, and rafting, as well as traditional basketry and shoe-making. Additionally, there are opportunities for photography and gardening activities at home.
Moreover, the area offers a spectacular sky for observing and learning about astronomy.
