Casa de Casal: 16th Century rural accommodation in Galicia



Casa de Casal is a 16th century building that has been converted into a hotel. It is not far from Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, that was the European City of Culture in the year 2000. As you might expect the hotel has great charm and character yet it is surprisingly well-priced, even during high season.


Languages spoken by the staff include English, French and Spanish; there are home-cooked breakfasts and evening meals available using local produce.

Nearby places worth visiting are the Pazo de Oca palace gardens which has been compared with Versailles amd the waterfalls of River Toxa, the highest in Galicia. Casa de Casal is an ideal hotel to spend a few days at if you are making a cultural visit to the region.
