A Casa da Eira, B&B and apartment, is situated in Galicia, in the province of Ourense, in the midst of the historic area of “the Ribeira Sacra” with its spectacular river Sil canyon and a considerable number of romanesque monasteries. Our village, Alberguería, is located at the upper part of the river Sil canyon and surrounded by hundred-year-old chestnut woods.
A Casa da Eira, B&B: ancient Galician farm house restored in 2000. The double rooms (135x200 double bed) are spacious and comfortable with en suite bathroom.. The generous common space invites to read, share the table and exchange experiences with other travellers or to have a scrabble game at nightfall.. The three rooms – living room and dinning room with open fire on the ground floor and the two reading rooms on the intermediate and first floor – allow each guest to find “his/her” place and encourage to benefit from the free cafeteria-self-service with fair trade tea and coffee.
A Casa da Eira rural apartment: the two-story granite stone house lodges a modern bright architecture. Each of the rooms receives natural light from the 9m2 roof skylight. Have dinner under the stars or take a shower feeling the sun on your skin. The apartment consists of one double room (double bed 135x200) and the equipped kitchen and dinning room on the ground floor.. A spacious living room (which can be transformed into a second double room) with a view on the river sil canyon and the bath room on the first floor. Altogether 60m2 which guarantee a maximum comfort playing surprisingly with volumes and light. For outdoor life enjoy the private balcony and patio with dinette. Access to the garden through the b&b.

My wife and I had an excellent stay at this superb rural accommodation in the Sil area . We were made to feel really welcome by our hosts and they were most helpful in advising about where to visit locally. The standard of accommodation in our view was excellent and the meals provided were first class.We can thoroughly recommend a stay at Casa da eira.It was the highlight of our overall holiday in Spain & northern Portugal.

No podemos más que sumarnos a todos los comentarios positivos que se han hecho sobre esta casa y sus dueños. Nos queda la pena de no haber podido pasar más días, pero al ser gallegos seguro que repetiremos el día menos pensado (lo mismo en septiembre para ver desde el catamarán como recogen la uva de esos viñedos imposibles).
Enhorabuena y seguid así
Estupenda,

Absolutamente recomendable, tanto la casa como pasar unos dias por la zona (aunque el tiempo no nos acompañó). Los desayunos fantásticos (sobre todo los bizcochos y mermeladas caseras). La biblioteca sobre la zona es tremenda. Adolfo, el dueño, nos aconsejó estupendamente sobre qué rutas hacer y los sitios donde comer. Un viaje perfecto!
