About this property

Charming stone cottage in beautiful country estate close to the river.

O Cafexo is a charming 27,000 sq.m. finca on the banks of a beautiful river. The farm has a great botanical richness, fruit trees and forests of oaks and chestnuts. The house overlooks the hills and vineyards and is very quiet. The house has two bedrooms with a spacious kitchen, living room with a fireplace and a large outdoor area with table, chairs, sun beds, hammock and swings. The river is ideal for swimming, rowing, fishing and walking. There is a large space for children with swings, trampoline, table tennis and a private river port. O Cafexo is located 55 km from Santiago de Compostela, 12 km from the beautiful city of Pontevedra, 40 km from the beautiful port of Bayonne and 40 km from fascinating Portugal. The best beaches of the Rias Baixas are half an hour away and the ferry to the Natural Park of the Atlantic Islands is 24 km away. It is the perfect place for a relaxing family holiday in nature and is also not far from the main tourist attractions of the region and Portugal.
Surroundings: O Cafexo is located in the municipality of Sotomayor, Parroquia A Pedreira. The village Arcade, 2 km from the house, has the best oysters of the Ría de Vigo. Nearby: The castle of Sotomayor, with its old garden, and the Alto de la Peneda, with beautiful views over the Ría. There are many bridges over the river: Comboa at 2 km (Middle Ages), the hanging bridge at 1 km, and Pontesanpaio (Middle Ages) in Arcade. The church of San Salvador is a baroque building from the XVIII century. At the mouth of the river in Arcade there are two small beaches. In Puerto Deportivo you can rent boats for water sports.
Beaches: From O Cafexo you can quickly reach the Rías of Vigo, Pontevedra and Arousa. The beaches in these Rías Baixas are very different depending on their position in the ría (at the beginning or end), on the tide, and on orientation (north or south).
Between 10 and 25 minutes we reach Lapamán in the Ría de Pontevedra (20 minutes), or the beaches of the middle end of the Ría de Vigo: quiet, semi-urban and with mild waters like Arcade, Cesantes, Moaña.
_in 30/35 min.: Through the Corredor do Morrazo we reach the more beautiful beaches of Cangas and Bueu (Limés, Agrelo): open sea, fresh, with waves, several with blue flag.
_in 40/45 min.: At the end of Corredor do Morrazo there are semi-wild, wide, open, beautiful beaches, with good waves and cold clear water: Nerga, Barra (nudist), Menduiña, Mourisca, Lagos or Tuia. Continuing towards Via do Salnés: the beaches of Sanxenxo, the great beach of La Lanzada, those of Isla de Arousa, Cambados or Carril.
In 1 hour: the ones from Arousa and Noia, the dunes of Corrubedo.

PEQUEÑO EDÉN
En una de las zonas más encantadoras de la hermosa Galicia se encuentra este precioso remanso de paz, entretenimiento y belleza. Con multitud de lugares preciosos en las proximidades. Y con una excelente atención por parte de los responsables de una finca con manantiales, pequeñas fuentes y cascadas, embarcadero, canoas, etc. y la compañía de unos perros encantadores. ¡Hasta de un burrito y una cariñosa cabra!. Todo genial. Repetiremos.

Paradise!!!
We will Definitely return!!This place is heaven! Very comfortable, fully equipped and cool house (thick stone walls) in a very large garden with water(falls) and fruit trees everywhere. Magnificent view from the terrace overlooking the garden. The private harbour, boats and river at the end of the road were great as it was quite hot when we stayed. The owners are most welcoming (dogs too! lovely animals even for persons who do not fancy dogs!) and helped us with every question we had with a big smile!

Lovely in every way!
This cottage was everything we wanted and MORE! The property was gorgeous, the host family was so welcoming and helpful, and the cottage itself is equipped with everything you could need to stay a while. So pack less, and relax more. We enjoyed fires on the cool nights, kayaking on the warm afternoons right from the property, and easy day trips throughout the Galicia region. The host family live on a different part of the farm, so the cottage has perfect privacy, but the hosts took care of every question we had. Even the family dogs treated us like long-lost friends and came to see us each day! I highly recommend staying here and experiencing the beauty and peace of a Spanish orchard for yourself. Thank you to the Masso family for sharing it with us!

Traum-Ferienort
Das Ferienhaus ist traumhaft: Sehr gut ausgestattet und auf einem bezaubernden Anwesen mit Quelle, Tümpel, Ecken mit Bänken usw. Wunderbar ist auch die Bademöglichkeit im Fluss mit angenehmen Wassertemperaturen. Und der Empfang war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit mit vielen Tipps. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine , cette location est formidable!! Nous avons tout adoré : le jardin et ses nombreux arbres fruitiers , le poulailler et ses oeufs frais, la proximité de la rivière et la possibilité d’utiliser le kayak et la barque… Nous avons été accueillis par Camino et Noe qui sont charmants, serviables et dévoués… Nous recommandons cet endroit pour son charle et sa tranquillité !

Segunda vez en O Cafexo
Somos una familia con 2 niños de 5 y 10 años y es la segunda vez que vamos a la finca. Esta vez, en Semana Santa. Es un sitio magnífico para descansar y desconectar, pero además perfectamente situado para conocer Galicia e incluso, por su cercanía, Portugal. Mis hijos han disfrutado muchísimo y no podemos más que dar las gracias a Noé, Camino y el resto de la familia por su hospitalidad y por hacer nuestra estancia tan agradable, así como recomendar la finca.

Maravillosa finca, un paraíso privado para pasar unos días en familia. Magníficos paseos, bañito en el río , barbacoas y por la noche a disfrutar de las estrellas en plena naturaleza. Por no hablar de nuestro paseo en barca gracias a la amabilidad de los anfitriones y el dusfrute de los niños en la cama elástica y la compañía de los perros (muy bien educados por cierto) En fin 100% recomendable! Muchas gracias a la familia Masó por todo! Repetiremos seguro!

Maravillosa estancia rural
Hemos estado una semana en la finca con nuestros hijos de 3 y 5 años, y todos estuvimos encantados. Camino fue un amor, ayudándonos con todo, incluso a nuestro hijo menor a superar su miedo de perros (había 6!), y Noé ofreció buenos consejos y ayuda con los barcos. La casa es muy cómoda, usamos mucho la barbacoa, y la finca ofrece mucho: nos encantaba visitar las gallinas y observar las ranas del estanque (y beber esa maravillosa agua de la fuente), bañarnos en el río, saltar en la cama elástica... Cerca de la casa merece la pena visitar la bodega de Noelia Bebelia, el Castillo de Soutomaior... Arcade tiene todo que se necesita y hay unas playas espectaculares a máximo 45 minutos. O Cafexo fue un total cierto en estos tiempos de pandemia - gracias Rut, Noé, y Camino por un viaje inolvidable!

Magnifica estancia en O Cafexo
Hemos estado una semana alojados en la finca O Cafexo, un matrimonio con dos niños de 3 y 8 años. La finca es preciosa, muy tranquila para desconectar unos días, pero situada estratégicamente muy cerquita de Arcade, donde podéis encontrar buenos restaurantes para degustar el marisco de la zona y tb muy cerca de Vigo y Pontevedra. Tanto nosotros como nuestros hijos hemos disfrutado muchísimo de la finca, por lo que sólo podemos recomendar este alojamiento. Dar también las gracias a Matusa y a su hermana por su ayuda, sus recomendaciones y por hacer nuestra estancia todavía más agradable.

a lovely place with lovely owners, hidden in een old finca
We spent a great two weeks in this house. It has fantastic views, being surrounded by green hills and an old orchard. Yet, all you need is nearby: a small supermarket, fresh fish, bakeries, restaurants, old towns or villages and beautiful beaches. The river is just a few minutes' walk down the hill and is great for a swim or a little tour with the canoe or the rowing boat. The owner, Matusa, is always there to help. She is a very welcoming and lovely lady. We also had the chance to meet some of her children and grandchildren - and let's not forget the dogs: a real added value to the domain. It was not easy to leave this paradise behind. Muchas gracias Matusa e familia! Klaar, Sven, Max & Leo

Relaxed country stay
O Cafexo is a lovely property in very large grounds in a nice part of Galicia, within an easy drive of some fabulous beaches and interesting towns to visit. First impressions were that it was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and obviously well loved (in a good way). The house had everything we needed for our five day stay, and Mathilde who met us there was extremely lovely and helpful. The stone house is part of a larger estate. There are lots of fruit trees, specimen plants, small ponds with cascading water, beautiful old carved stonework and probably the thing that sets it apart from the other properties in the area is that it has a river frontage with its own small private harbour with rowing boats and a kayak. The river is lovely to swim in being clear and slow moving, half salt, half fresh water. I would imagine this would be a wonderful place to visit for families. Don't go expecting manicured gardens, this place is very much about getting back to nature and about enjoying being in the countryside. We really enjoyed the house, the river. Mathilde's kindness and most of all the three lovely dogs!
