Casa Fernando, Galicia
A Bragana | Ref: GBRA1 | Bedrooms: 5 | Sleeps: 10Delightful, traditional, restored country house with salt water swimming pool near historic spa towns, not far from coast.

Tastefully decorated and furnished in rustic style, there are interesting agricultural artefacts both in the interior and exterior, adding a true sense of the past.
The addition of the annex with its own kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms, makes it an ideal choice for two families who wish to holiday together, but also to have their own space.

A little further you'll find the fantastic beaches of the Rias Baixas.
