Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Verdugo DosVilla Verdugo Dos is located in the quiet village of Antas, to the east of Pontevedra and within easy access of the stunning Rias Baixas beaches, rivers, towns and villages. Its countryside location is stunning and perfect for those that love nature and exploring the wild and scenic beauty of Galicia.
The Rias Baixas are a series of four estuarine inlets, the Ria de Muros e Noia, the Ria de Arousa, the Ria de Pontevedra and the Ria de Vigo. The Rias are rich in marine life and are beautiful to explore. They boast more towns, villages and restaurants than other stretches of the Galician coast. Guests will enjoy superb seafood and can visit the lovely towns of Pontevedra and Vigo, the quaint albarino wine capital Cambados and Galicia's jewel in the crown, the historic city of Santiago de Compostela.
Guests can also take trips to the pretty offshore islands. The Rias Baixes beaches are stunning with a good range of watersports on the larger beaches and peace and intimacy on the hidden little coves. Though chilly, the waters are generally calm. Playa de la Lanzada, one of Galicia's best beaches offers over 3km of dazzling white sand and clear blue sea backed by stunning dunes. The sky lights up in all shades of pink, orange and red at sunset. The picturesque Playa Area das Pipas enjoys delightful rocks and tide pools and is lined with fragrant pine trees. The beaches on Illas Cies are spectacular.
Pontevedra is a beautiful, well-preserved old town. Brimming with beautiful buildings, interlocking narrow lanes and picturesque plazas, it combines history, culture and style. It is a great place to shop, dine and sightsee. The town’s Gothic Santa Maria la Mayor Basilica is stunning.
Cambados, the capital of the albarino wine country, is actually a fusion of three medieval villages: Fefinans at the north end of town, Cambados in the middle and the fishing quarter of Santo Tome in the south. It is comprised of ancient streets lined with beautiful stone architecture and sprinkled with inviting taverns and restaurants.
Santiago de Compostela has its origin in the shrine of Saint James the Great, now the magnificent Cathedral de Compostela. Since the 9th century, thousands of pilgrims have travelled the St James' Way every year, reaching this majestic capital of Galicia and entering the iconic cathedral. Along with its pilgrimage history, it is a buzzy city with countless restaurants and bars where visitors can enjoy delicious seafood and local delicacies. It enjoys its UNESCO World Heritage centre along with contemporary art galleries and trendy bars. One of the most special places in the city is Plaza del Obradoiro, the site of the Cathedral, Raxoi Palace and the luxurious Hostal de los Reyes Catolicos, said to be the world’s oldest hotel. There is a ritual for visiting the Cathedral, you will admire the Portico de la Gloria, embrace the figure of St James on the main alter, go down to the crypt and up to the sensational rooftop to enjoy the views. There are many other fascinating historical buildings such as the imposing Monastery of San Martino Pinario. A visit to the colourful Mercado de Abastos food market is fabulous, the second most visited place in the city. You can buy and taste seafood fresh from the Rias, delicious cheeses and Padron peppers and well as the famous tapas. In the heart of the old town you can also enjoy tapas, octopus a feira, scallops and Santiago cakes along with the delicious Albarino wines. In the university area you will find contemporary architecture including Cidade da Cultura by the New York architect Peter Eisenman and the Galacian Contemporary Art Centre.
Guests can also enjoy a wonderful day out in Vigo. You can stroll through the old quarter, taste oysters in A Petra, laze on the beach in Samil, visit the manor house and gardens in Casterlos Park or take a boat tour to the halcyon Cies Islands. The vibrant streets are brimming with pretty camelias, a joyful scene.

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 AgesVilla Verdugo Dos is a perfect choice for families. There is plenty of space inside and out. The garden is wonderful and hours of fun will spent in the swimming pool. The area is fantastic for hiking and also horse riding.
Within this special area, families can enjoy picnics by the river, river boat trips and river activities, visits to historic towns and cities and fabulous beach days. Playa de la Lanzada is a fantastic, family-friendly beach with wide expanses of white sand, entertaining waves, surfing clubs and other water sports. You might want to research and book a surfing or kite surfing course. It is a perfect place to learn.
Aldea de Os Grobits on the Isla de la Toja is great fun for children with its little hobbit houses. You can walk to the Isla de la Toja. There is a small, well run aquarium at O Grove which gives children a good idea of the sea life that you can find in Galicia. Further away is the Illa de Arousa and the Carreiron Natural Park. It is listed as a special protection zone for heron bird populations and other birds. The island boasts some impressive beaches.
Children will enjoy fun days in Pontevedra, exploring the old town and eating a lot of tapas! The history is interesting and there is so much to do and see.
The Rias Baixas is a lovely location for a family holiday. The natural environment is very refreshing and beautiful, as are the beaches. There is a lot of varied entertainment to be found.
If you visit the famous Santiago de Compostela, you will find the streets and squares full of children, parents and grandparents. It is very welcoming and offers excellent entertainment with plenty of spontaneous musical jams and a lot of theatre and dance.

Fantastic villa
Such a truly fantastic villa, really great with lovely views over the wooded hills. Pool spot on, a nice nearby town with bars and restaurants and our villa owner Ana is wonderful - so helpful with her ideas and suggestions- thank you!
-
Would definitely recommend!
Lovely!
Villa Verdugo Dos was wonderful inside and out, really well stocked with everything you could need to stay. Pool was lovely, lit up at night and Ana was really helpful and accommodating and let us know things around the area which was great. Would definitely recommend! -
Relaxing location
Ana met us on arrival and showed us around the villa - which is exceptional - with some of the history of the building and people. They left a freshly baked local cake too, handmade which was eagerly enjoyed by all when we sat down.
Great house & location is tranquil. Road has a narrow pinch point but passable. You need a really big car / van for it to stop access. Can’t wait to relax and unwind!
-
Great!
The house and the garden around it are great. Very comfortable and well equipped. Also the decorations are original. Well done to the owners.
-
We will return, without a doubt!
Villa Verdugo Dos is really beautiful, very well decorated, with very careful details that make it unique, without a doubt a wonderful place to rest and enjoy. Very close to the interesting places, we visited Soutomaior Castle and ate an excellent cooked in As Estacas, it was undoubtedly a luxury weekend. María is an excellent owner, we wish her luck in the future, although with this marvel of house, farm and town she will not need it, we will return, without a doubt.

Blissful holiday!
The house is gorgeous (the photos do not do it justice): beautifully furnished and with everything you could possibly need for a blissful holiday. My family of 4 (including 2 teenagers) did not want to leave after 3 weeks. There is huge amounts of room, the garden is vast, the pool refreshing and there are plenty of spaces to sit in the shade and eat/drink/read etc. The marquee made for some splendid lunches and board games with the upper area perfect for supper once the sun has moved around the house. If you enjoy cooking then you'll adore the kitchen and we certainly each loved having our own private bathrooms (yes, there are 4 fully-equipped bathrooms!). The views are astonishing and Galicia itself is glorious, utterly ravishing in its beauty. The climate was most kind to us and there is so much to explore in the local area and indeed further afield. We spent a week in France after leaving Villa Verdugo Dos and found it extremely expensive compared to Galicia. Maria and her cousin could not have been better hosts; extremely friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. We all miss Villa Verdugo Dos and would not hesitate to return at any time of year.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
