Casa da Forxa is a renovated former forge/ smithy in lovely hamlet setting.


Un lugar para desconectar y relajarse, en un hermoso entorno rural con vistas a las colinas de O Páramo. Siempre hay vida silvestre a la que prestar atención, la gran cantidad de aves, incluidos los buitres, las visitas regulares de abubillas y colirrojos negros, y si estás suerte, avistar un Corzo (gamo) o un Jabalí (jabalí). Salga por la puerta y explore las calles locales a pie.
Un corto trayecto en coche te lleva al animado y famoso pueblo de Portomarín, en la ruta jacobea del Camino de Santiago. Tanta historia por descubrir y maravillosa comida local en restaurantes y bares locales. ¡Aquí es donde se produce la famosa Tarta De Santiago y se puede comprar en su propia pequeña tienda! La ciudad de Lugo con todo lo que tiene para ofrecer y la muralla romana completa para caminar está a aproximadamente 25 km.
En el calor del verano, la casa es fresca por dentro, pero acogedora en invierno gracias a la reconfortante estufa de leña que alimenta la calefacción central.
Disfrute de una copa de vino local Ribera Sacra o de un café en el pequeño patio. Por la noche, las estrellas son tan claras debido a la falta de contaminación lumínica local, ¡así que siempre vale la pena mirar hacia arriba con un par de binoculares!

A place to disconnect and relax, in a beautiful rural environment with views of the hills of O Páramo and Paradela. There is always wildlife to look out for, the myriad of birds including buzzards, regular visits from hoopoes and black redstarts, and if you're lucky spotting a Roe Deer or Jabalí (wild boar). Step out the door and explore the local lanes on foot.
A short drive takes you to the lively and famous town of Portomarín, on the ancient route of the Camino de Santiago. So much history to discover and wonderful local food in local restaurants and bars. This is where the famous Tarta De Santiago is produced and can be bought in its own little shop! The city of Lugo with all it has to offer and it’s complete Roman wall to walk is approximately 25 km away.
In the heat of summer the house is cool inside, but cozy in winter thanks to the comforting log burner that powers the central heating.
Enjoy a glass of local Ribera Sacra wine or a coffee in the small patio. At night the stars are so clear due to the lack of local light pollution, so it always pays to look up with a pair of binoculars!

Disappointed
The listing said there was a dryer. There was none. We specifically picked the location because of the washer and dryer to wash and dry our hiking clothes. So we couldn't do that and we had no time to hang them and wait for them to dry.There were no pillow cases on the pillows. There was a scarcity of towels. Google maps could not find the prooerty and there were no instructions on how to get there from portomarin. Luckily a local guided us there by following his car. It is a beautiful home and quiet spot. Unfortunately it did not work for us and we left a day early wednesday morning.
