A Home Away From Home
La Casita
La Casita
A Charming Rustic Retreat
La Casita is an old Galician barn conversion with an added extension – sleeping up to four people, a Spanish King size bed, and a Spanish double sofa bed, a bathroom, a kitchen and a lounge, with outdoor eating and relaxation areas.
Stepping out the front door leads to a large garden with a patio and a choice of dappled shade or full sunshine at any time of the day.
Situated in a small community of six houses the garden is a perfect place to while away the days in peace and quiet apart from the birdsong and the buzzing of bees, occasionally broken by the odd tractor.
Inside
Entering through double doors leads you to a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable sitting room, with a log burning fire and central heating throughout. The bedroom contains a Galician king size bed, bedside lockers and a wardrobe. There is access from the bedroom to the bathroom via a sliding door. The bathroom has a large shower perfect to wash away your cares; it is accessible from both the sitting room and the bedroom.
Outside
The garden is surrounded by lush green fields and trees as far as the eye can see. For dining al fresco there is a shaded eating area with a table and chairs. You can enjoy swinging in the hammock whilst you listen to the bird song and all the other wonderful sounds of nature. The garden has both full sun and shaded areas for you to choose where it is you want to unwind. At the rear of the property there is a secure shed to store any equipment in a dry safe place – perfect or mountain bike storage!
City of Lugo
The Roman wall that surrounds the city of Lugo is the only one in the world that is complete. For this reason and because of its mysterious beauty it has been declared a World Heritage Site.
Legend has it that the Romans built the wall to protect not a city but a forest; “Augustus‘ Holy Forest”, Lucus Augusti in Latin, from which Lugo takes its name. Today the forest is a mystery, but the wall still stands, defying time and speaking to those who know how to listen.
