My husband and I escaped to Te Cuento3 following a desire to immerse ourself in España! My 23 yo son stayed with us for a few days as a bridge between Camino with mom and then resuming with a friend. Mom needed a rest after 8 days of walking! Then, my cousin and her husband joined us for a week. The home is spacious and provided us with ample gathering spaces inside and out! The sunset views from the property are gorgeous. We enjoyed cooking over wood, made a seafood paella and chuletón!
Teresa is a gracious and responsive host! From planning the trip during the COVID lockdown where she was flexible with the pandemic shifts, to meeting my husband to check in, and so gracious with beach, restaurants and local chiringuito recommendations. Each place was top notch! We explored the beaches in Bueu, Cangas, the port of Ardan, the city of Pontevedra, the wineries of Rías Biaxas and more! All within 30-60 minutes away.
The home is a casa rural, built in the 17th century. It has been lovingly restored and decorated with an eye towards traditional style , beautiful ceramics, copper pots, a copper still and oven. There are modern elements where needed in the kitchen, bathrooms and linens. The towels and linens are crisp and clean white with personal embroidery.
As expected with a historic home, there was a need to call Teresa for property maintenance- nothing major- a water leak outside and some plumbing issues. She responded immediately and had each remedied immediately without any inconvenience to our stay.
The one downside of the rural nature of the home and it’s remote location was poor and inconsistent WiFi. Seeing as we had an extended stay of three weeks, we unfortunately did have to work during our stay. I found a great telework spot in Pontevedra, Peregrina 25, where I was able to set myself up for work.
We look forward to returning, perhaps in 2023! I highly recommend Teresa’s home.
Gracias Teresa!
