A charming property which was well equipped and very private. The swimming pool and jacuzzi were fantastic. Beautiful views and within easy reach of Santiago de Compostela.The hosts were very welcoming and even gave us an almond tart on arrival which was absolutely delicious! We would love to visit again.
This is one place in Spain you must stay. The property was fantastic and we could not have been more relaxed. Maria the host was wonderful. She provided fresh fruit, eggs and bacon as well as a great breakfast pastry. The pool and hot tub were an extra bonus. Do not miss the opportunity to stay here and tour Galacia.
My wife and I have just had a lovely week in the Little Stone House. We are not normally given to writing reviews but as this property was superb in every way we must recommend it to anyone considering a stay in this area.
It is well and thoughtfully equipped, and the outside space is a joy. It is very quiet but only a short distance from Santiago.
The owners were most helpful and hospitable. We cannot fault this property
Thank you

This is the most comfortable and charming property, and Maria is the loveliest host you will ever come across. We were given a lovely welcome gift of gorgeous goodies, and everything you need for an excellent stay is provided.
The property is very convenient for Santiago de Compostela, a bus stop.is 5min walk from the property, runs every hour, and takes just 10mins for 1euro. When you've had enough of the city, come back to the peace and tranquility of beautiful countryside and the comfort of Maria's lovely home.
I highly recommend this place and would love to return
Secluded gem in the hills of Santiago De Compostela. Short drive into city. Beautiful view of the city landscape. Quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed using both the pool and the jacuzzi. Hosts were great!
Nice stone house really nice people on check in made us feel really welcome. Provided some food essentials and even made a wonderful apple pie for us & loads of fruit from the garden.
Overall a lovely place to relax.
A beautiful property located on the outskirts of Santiago in a peaceful and pretty location. A perfect host who welcomed us and looked after us throughout our stay with homemade and homegrown treats.
Maria is a great host. Her son was available to translate, as needed. We loved the delicious pastry that she made for us and sitting by the pool was very relaxing. If you like to be away from the crowds, this is the perfect place!
Ein typisches Steinhaus in lÀndlicher Umgebung.
Wir waren nicht als Gast sondern Familienmitglied.
DANKE MARIA, IHREM MANN UNS IHREM SOHN FĂR ALLES, WIR HABEN UNS BEI EUCH EXTREM WOHL GEFĂHLT!!!

We enjoyed every bit of our visit here. Maria Jose and her family were so helpful from greeting us warmly with food and drink, to sharing the produce of their garden and providing bus information into the city. The little stone house was perfect - everything you could need for a short or extended stay. The property has access to walking trails and is a good, steep walk down to the city bus. Taxis were easy into the city. Like others who reviewed, we did not speak much Spanish but between google translate and Maria's son we were able to navigate. The pool was a perfect way to spend a day of walking.- great view of the countryside. We would love to go back - or to try the larger house on the property.
Wow this villa was way beyond expectations. Firstly the stone villa was so beautiful, immaculately clean and well appointed with everything you need. I could of stayed there the whole time without going to town. Maria the owner is so welcoming and helpful. The food and pastries were unexpected and were delicious as was the wine and beer. This is a great place to stay. Muchas Gracias Maria
Nach der BegrĂŒĂung mit einer galizischen KuchenspezialitĂ€t haben wir in den folgenden 14 Tagen einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt genossen.
Die Umgebung ist sehr ruhig und bei sonnigem Wetter kann man sich am und im Pool entspannen. Das Ferienhaus hat eine kleine sehr gut ausgestattete KĂŒche. Wir haben diese aber aufgrund der vielfĂ€ltigen kulinarischen Verlockungen Galiziens nur selten zum Essen zubereiten genutzt. Vielleicht beim nĂ€chsten Mal :-). Sogar ein Grill stand zur VerfĂŒgung. Und wenn es tatsĂ€chlich mal regnet, dann kann man es sich in der Couchecke gemĂŒtlich machen.
Mit Ausnahme von Santiago, das man sehr schnell erreicht, sind viele touristische SehenswĂŒrdigkeiten mindestens 1 Autostunde entfernt. Sehr empfehlenswert ist z.B. ein Trip mit den Kayak - gibt es gefĂŒhrt in Gruppe oder einfach selber eins mieten.
Supervakantiewoning!
Mooi zwembad met heel comfortabele meubels, goed geequipeerde keuken, goed bed, tuin met sinaasappelbomen ( om vers fruitsap te maken 's morgens, moestuin om zich vrij in te bedienen, ..
Vriendelijke eigenaars die heel attent en vrijgevig zijn ..
Warm anbevolen!
Poco mas que añadir a los comentarios anteriores, la dueña es encantadora y muy atenta, nos recibio con una tarta de Manzana, la casa ideal para una pareja o 3 personas, y todo lo que la rodea esta en plena naturaleza.
Desde aqui hay multitud de posibilidades tanto de playa como de montaña, recomiendo las Fervenzas de la zona este de Santiago, a unos 40 minutos, fervenza das Hortas y fervenza del rio Toxa.
Casa recomendable 100%.
Wij hebben een topweek gehad in een fijn huisje, met een mooie tuin en een heerlijk zwembad (verwarmd). Maria stond altijd voor ons klaar indien nodig. Wel handig als je een beetje Spaans spreekt, Maria spreekt geen Engels, haar zoon wel.
NB groenten en fruit uit eigen moestuin!
Casa de Afora is a rustic stone house which has been carefully and lovingly restored by its owners with all modern amenities. It is situated in a small village just 3 km outside Santiago and it literally takes only a few minutes to drive to the old town in Santiago and its famous Cathedral. It has a private garden and a swimming pool heated with solar panels and we could swim on sunny days even in early October.
In addition to being a perfect place to stay when visiting Santiago, the owner Señora Maria is exceptionally hospitable and generous. Virtually every day she came over with Galician food specialties for us to try. We stayed much longer than originally planned and used Casa de Afora as a base for excursions to other interesting places in Galicia, e.g. Capo Finisterre, A Coruna, Lugo, Isla La la Toja.
Casa de Afora was perfect for us and we would recommend it to anyone who enjoys rural beauty and who wants to visit Santiago and explore Galicia.
