Nestled amongst the trees, within its own luscious garden, Cottage Limens offers the perfect holiday retreat. With space for four guests, this is a great spot for a small family or couple looking to escape the hustle and bustle and busy tourist areas, with a calming atmosphere that allows you to completely relax and switch off from day to day lives.
As you approach, the property looks alike to a quiet country cottage, a cosy retreat of your own. As you walk in the front door, the beautifully decorated indoor spaces continue that theme, with luxury features designed to make your stay feel special. The furnishings throughout are simple and sophisticated, with sunlight streaming in through the windows, making the living areas bright and airy.

The real magic of Cottage Limens becomes clear as you amble out onto the terrace, with the large garden offering space for you to spread out and enjoy the sunshine. Various chill out spaces are positioned around the garden, some in the shade, some in the sun, so you can move around enjoying the tranquil ambience.
The cottage’s rooftop offers up another romantic living space, open to the air. A dining table and barbecue take pride of place, offering you the chance to enjoy romantic evening meals, sharing a bottle of local wine as the last of the sun leaves the night sky.
From the garden, it is just a five-minute stroll down to Liméns beach, so anytime you need to cool off, you can amble down and take a dip! Cottage Limens is the perfect holiday spot for creating unforgettable memories with your loved ones.

Location
About the surrounding area of Cottage LimensThis beautiful villa is located in an area that is absolutely amazing, just 5-minutes walking from Liméns beach and other picturesque beaches with turquoise waters in the spectacular area of Cangas.
The town of Cangas is just a 10-minute drive away, perfect for afternoons wondering around the pretty streets and evening meals out as a group. Cangas itself is a friendly town, with delicious local restaurants and bars for all budgets. With various cuisines, even the pickiest of eaters will find something they like! Thanks to its location, you won’t be surprised to hear that it’s the perfect place to try fresh seafood. Popular dishes include octopus, shellfish and mussels. With loads of water sport and outdoor activities available, including snorkelling, sailing, surfing and kayaking, there is no end to the entertainment on offer!
The beautiful city of Vigo is a short boat ride away, perfect for a day trip away from the villa. There is also a regular line of buses to the historical city of Pontevedra, so even if you don’t rent a car, it is easy to get around!
The region itself is known for its green valleys, rugged mountains and wild beaches. Think bagpipes playing and baroque cathedrals, too – so, you might feel more like you’re in Scotland than Spain. From Combarro, you can explore other must-see places like Sanxenxo and Pontevedra.
Pontevedra is beautiful and has a well-preserved old town. Stand in the shadows of the churches and wander through the charming squares here, before sampling local cuisine in one of the bars and restaurants. Fresh seafood like octopus, or other Galician specialities like empanada gallega – a large pie usually filled with meat – are on the menu. Then, wash it down with a glass of Albarino wine.
More worth-exploring cities include Vilanova de Cerveira and Caminha. You could also make tracks for Vigo, Porto or Tui. The latter is a Romanesque and gothic village that’s steeped in history. Take in the cathedral and churches there, before heading to the mountain of Aloia nearby. If you climb to the top, you’ll be rewarded with views of Vigo estuary and the Louro valley below.

About the Region & Getting There
About Galicia
Like many parts of Spain, Galicia has its very own identity that has remained intact through its regional dialect and distinguishing culture. Although Galicia is recognised for its holy traditions, we urge budding tourists to also consider its astonishing green countryside & rivers and its UNESCO World Heritage sites. Occasionally you may even hear the gentle tootling of bagpipes, known locally as the Galician Gaita, along this northern corner of the Iberian Peninsula.
You're likely to fly into Santiago de Compostela, which is the capital of Galicia and is probably best known for the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage and its route. Many of the travellers embark on this journey by foot and tend to be mesmerised by this fine city at the end of their trek. Casco Viejo, or the Old Town, is a good place to end or even start your holiday. This area of the city is blessed with markets, restaurants, bars and buildings from a bygone era. After exhausting yourself in the busyness of the city, take a day trip to Praia de Rodas, on the gorgeous Cíes Islands. These small islands, accessible by boat from Vigo, Baiona, or Cangas, have been noted as having some of the best beaches in the world. It has to be seen to be believed!
Galicia is divided into four key regions: A Coruña, Lugo, Ourense and our favourite – Pontevedra. A Galician proverb states that 'Pontevedra gives water to travellers'. We firmly believe this to be true, as this particular part of Galicia has everything a traveller could need for an unforgettable experience and it almost feels like this city is constantly giving back. Whilst you holiday in Pontevedra you will realise that days are structured around mealtime. And why wouldn't they be? With some of the best seafood you will experience in Spain and the noteworthy Albariño wine, you may notice your jeans feeling a little tighter toward the end of your holiday. You will be glad to know that your waistline need not be a cause for concern though! Pontevedra is blessed with some of the best hiking trails, medieval monasteries, estuaries, and valleys within Spain. Don't forget about the coastline either! Rarely you will you find so many empty beaches, so make the most of this privacy and just embrace the nature around you.
Galicia is still an unspoilt part of the world. It has everything a diverse group of friends & family need to have a glorious adventure.
Getting There
Galicia is served by either Santiago de Compostela Airport, A Coruña Airport, or Vigo Airport. Various train lines connect the main cities and towns of Galicia to other destinations in Northern and Central Spain (and even Portugal). There are also vairous coach routes that you can take throughout the region and to other cities in Spain.
From the UK:
Direct flights are available from London with easyJet, Ryanair, Vueling, and many others. Although, travellers should be aware that Vigo Airport only receives domestic flights, so a stopover is needed if you wish to travel to this airport. Chartered flights are also available from several other UK airports.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe idyllic location on the water, makes Cottage Limens perfect for small families seeking peace, quiet and an authentic Spanish holiday experience. The cottage can sleep two adults in a double room and two children on sofa beds in the living room and is only a short five-minute walk from the nearest sandy beach. There are a couple of laid-back restaurants within walking distance and amenities like shops, supermarkets and busy restaurants are all within easy reach in Cangus town, too. The various cuisines on offer mean even the pickiest of children will be kept happy!
On the villa’s rooftop, there is a beautiful outdoor dining and barbecue area, making al-fresco meals are a must, and why not get the kids involved in the cooking whilst using the barbecue?!
Kids can run and play in the huge garden, with plenty of room to spread out, whilst adults sit back and relax in the sun. Children will love to swim and play at the nearest beach, Praia de Liméns, with its sandy shores and calm turquoise water. The beach is family-friendly and peaceful, with a pretty coastal footpath to Cangas, if you fancy a walk as a family.
If you are travelling with kids, we would recommend renting a car, so you can explore the best parts of the area with ease, visiting the best beaches and family-friendly restaurants that Northern Spain has to offer.
For fun days out, you can head to Pontevedra town where the whole family can get clued up on the local history and explore the historic old town. Or, you could make tracks for other sight-packed towns like Tui. At the latter, you can climb to the top of the mountain of Aloia for wow-worthy views of the Louro valley below.
You could also visit Dunas de Corrubedo – a natural park with a big sand dune that kids can roll down to reach Playa do Vilar Beach. Water lovers instead? Hop on a boat to Illas Cies – a footprint-free group of islands off the coast of Vigo. Here, you can swim and scuba dive in the surrounding waters.
