What will the weather be like?
"Fervenza" is a local word meaning a "waterfall". This ancient watermill (with records going back to the 16th century) has been restored as a hotel and restaurant that carefully preserves the atmosphere of an old Galician country house and which stands out for offering an authentic rural holiday experience.

Hand-woven linen curtains, old wooden beams, exposed stonework and chestnut-boarded floors are just some of the delightful features you will find. A television is not.

Lost in the solitude of the forest, for those who venture just a little further off the beaten track than most, Casa Grande da Fervenza offers hospitality and good fare. The guest rooms are not huge, but they really portray Galician country living, and there is plenty of space to settle down and relax in the rest of the hotel.

This is rural tourism at its best, without sacrificing comfort. Hill-walking routes start and end right by the hotel. There is even the possibility of fishing in the river just 25m away (contact the hotel before arrival for licence details and advice on the best spots).

If there is a price to pay, it's the driving distance. You will drive a long way to get here, and you will find that some of the "local" amenities are a few miles away. But driving in Galicia is another pleasure in itself.

Restaurant:

Traditional Galician cuisine, with fresh seasonal ingredients, mostly from the hotel's own organic garden. The restaurant is well-renowned in the area for its lovely dining room, fine cooking and extensive wine list.

A Word From the Owner:

"Our doors are open to each and every traveller who wishes to submerge his senses in the murmur of the river Miño. The river passes right by us, forming a cascade and a small island, and all around us are trees that are over one hundred years old."

What We Say:

The location here is stunning for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature, whether you want to walk in it, drive in it, cycle in it, swim in it, fish in it, or simply sit and watch it gently pass you by. If you're wondering where the local night clubs are, this place is not for you.

Customer Feedback:

"We had a great time at Fervenza. Accompdation was of a very high standard, people were welcoming and friendly, and food was good also." G..J.

"This is such a calming place, you couldn't get further from the madding crowd. The river is as clean and full of life as any I have known, quite literally teaming with fish and frogs. The walking and cycling is easy and safe, there is very little traffic and the paths well marked. The climate was perfect, hot in the day and cool at night. The local towns and sites held plenty of secrets to discover. The restaurant menu was excellent and the local wine its equal. The hotel's management and staff were always available but never intrusive. The bedrooms are comfortable and full of character, though not spacious, but there is plenty of shared space to sit in. We had a great stay and would happily return." J.G.

"The place, the location and the people were all completely charming." H.A-R.
