Majestic in size, this nine-bedroom palace overlooks the Rio Tambre in beautiful Galicia, northern Spain. A nineteenth-century manor house, it offers a sense of grandeur and period charm and is a fantastic space for a family reunion or special celebration. On the ground floor, guests will find a sweeping corridor adorned with elegant chandeliers and antique paintings, which leads to the large living room, where you’ll find comfortable sofas, high ceilings and heavy drapes. Oak-paneled walls, mahogany furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows and an open fireplace add to the splendor, and it’s the perfect space to sit, relax and socialize in. From here, step into the elegant dining room and enjoy a meal at the table seating 18 people, or for more casual dining, head to the light and breezy kitchen and enjoy a casual bite-to-eat at the neat table.
The interiors feature nine bedrooms, and you can choose between suites or a double bedroom. The bedrooms are opulent with their own unique design, and all of them include en-suite bathrooms and pretty garden views. Guests are also able to add another three guests to their party, with three extra fold-out beds available on request. From the ground floor, a staircase leads to the second floor, where you’ll find plenty of entertainment. Here you can rack up the balls on the billiard table or enjoy a game of rummy at the card table.
Outside, the garden’s endless beauty is a delight with its statues, fountains and manicured lawn. Enjoy a morning coffee on the veranda and absorb the tranquil surroundings with its endless mature trees, ancient wood and pretty lakes. With so much space to explore, you won’t know where to put yourself first. During the day, plunge into the swimming pool, enjoy a stroll down to the private jetty or simply sit and watch the wildlife come and go from the ponds. The barbeque area is also an idyllic spot should you fancy eating al fresco. A tonic for the senses, the manor house resides on the grounds of a Finca, where events and weddings take place. However, the manor house is soundproofed and offers complete privacy and tranquility. If you can tear yourself away from all this bliss, you’ll find the beaches in the Noia-Muros bay just a 15-minute drive away, while the historic city of Santiago de Compostela is 30 minutes from the property.

Location:
Palacio Gallego is located on extensive grounds overlooking the Rio Tambre and a 30-minute drive from Santiago de Compostela. The surrounding area is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in nature, and you can easily spend a day exploring the surrounding garden with its beautiful fountains, lakes and ponds. Alternatively, walk or ride through the forest or head to the private jetty and explore the area by kayak. A Finca is set within the grounds, and here you’ll find a restaurant, wedding and event space.
For a day at the beach, it’s a 10-minute drive to the coastal town of Noia. Noia is located at the mouth of the Ria de Muros y Noya, and there are many quiet, sandy beaches in this area. A good place for a swim, the beaches in this area are protected from the wind and the cooler temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean. Nearest to the property is Praia de Boa Grande, and here children can spend the day here splashing in the water and playing in the sand. After a day on the beach, shake the sand from your feet and enjoy a snack at one of the beachfront restaurants. Afterwards, head into the town of Noia and stroll through its winding streets. Admire the gothic buildings, browse the markets and shops, and then enjoy a coffee in the pretty medieval square that overlooks an impressive church. When the sun starts to dip, be sure to head to the long boardwalk and enjoy sunset views of the bay.
For a full day of history and culture, make the 30-minute drive inland to the beautiful Santiago de Compostela. This medieval city is packed with Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassicist buildings and is home to the shrine of St James the Apostle. Spend the morning walking around the old town with its maze of narrow streets and plazas, then explore the stunning Catedral del Apostol. Considered a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture, it also features the remarkable Portico de la Gloria. Also worth a visit is the Catedral Museum, where you can view historical artefacts, then head to the Praza do Obradoiro and enjoy a drink and meal in this lively little square.
