Buena experiencia
Pasamos 3 semanas muy buenas. La casa tiene de todo, la propietaria súper atenta y amable y la casa muy auténtica. El wifi nos dio problemas y no está cómodo para ir con niños pequeños andando al pueblo. Mejor coger coche pero se aparca sin problema. Gracias por todo Dori!

A beautiful and characterful old house
Dori was a kind, generous and welcoming host, always keen to make our stay enjoyable. Her house, which has been in her family for generations, has been developed very thoughtfully and is fascinating and beautiful. The large garden is a real benefit, with exposed views and more sheltered areas, which were welcome as it was windy and sunny at times during our stay. It is about a 15 minute walk to Rianxo Town and maybe ten minutes in the car to the wonderful Tanxil beach. The area around the Arousa River is stunningly beautiful. There are lots of stairs in the house, and our elderly parents sometimes found accessibility challenging. Our small children adored the house and garden. We would heartily recommend the house and host to others.

Quiet and relaxing
This is our second visit to the Rias Baixas region of Galicia and Casa dos Ballotes I is a beautiful relaxing house to stay at and explore the surrounding area. The house has been beautifully renovated and is very inviting from the moment you enter. Everything you need to relax and enjoy can be found. The large garden has lovely views of Ria Arousa and sunsets over the Sierra de Barbanza. The narrow roads make for a peaceful and quiet stay, with the town in walking distance. Dori has so much information about the local area, from the beaches and towns and historic sites to the best places to eat. Fresh Galician seafood is on offer everywhere and the mussels Dori gave to us were delicious. The Xourbinas are also a must. We were 4 adults and 3 children and there is so much space to eat, drink, play and relax. I wholly recommend for a quiet base to explore the Rias Baixas from and thank Dori for her wonderful attention.

Wonderfull house!
My husband, children and parents stayed together at Casa dos Ballotes I and it made our trip to Galicia so special. The house is beautifully renovated, very spacious and comfortable, yet it is nestled in the narrow winding streets of a medieval village, Rianxino. This retro experience can't be replicated by any modern house or hotel. We also loved the backyard, with the fruit trees, grape vines, and views of the ocean. The quaint fishing town of Rianxo is so much fun as well. The owners are lovely to deal with. I totally recommend renting this house!

Charming house and host. Great location.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming old country house. The rooms were large they were well appointed. We had a view of the bay from the back yard and the backyard was full of fruit trees fig tree bushes and it was very very large. It was a game room with the pool table and foosball and darts and lots of seating for dinners and get together‘s. The kitchen was fully equipped with anything you could ask for nice sized refrigerator. Our host Dory was wonderful she gave us lots of information about the area she brought us some gifts while we were there of local food It was a good location for day trips to Noia, Padrón and Santiago de Compostela. Highly recommend.

La casa es preciosa, está muy limpia, bien equipada y tranquila. La propietaria, Dori, de un trato exquisito, muy atenta y dispuesta a informarnos de todo en todo momento. Muy buena situación para visitar Santiago, Vigo, Cíes, Pontevedra. Nosotras viajamos 9 personas y estuvimos muy cómodas. El jardín precioso, con buenas vistas. En resumen, una experiencia para repetir y recomendar.

Para repetir
Una preciosidad de casa para disfrutar del relax que proporcionan las vistas y la comodidad de las estancias. Trato exquisito , la propietaria ofrece todo tipo de información y consejos útiles para optimizar las visitas. Una lástima no disponer de más días libres... Está muy céntrica para poder realizar visitas interesantes (Santiago, Corrubedo...) y para disfrutar de unos días en familia las instalaciones son perfectas ,el jardín original y con buenas vistas...Estamos pensando en volver

Un pequeño paraíso!!
El fin de semana que hemos pasado ha sido muy especial!En primer lugar destacar la preciosidad y el encanto de la casa, es espectacular, cada rincón de ella tiene un encanto especial, además está perfectamente cuidada y cuenta con todo lo necesario. Desde el jardín puedes ver la ría, señalar además que es muy extenso. Cuenta con un espacio muy amplio donde pudimos cenar todos juntos, echar unas partidas al billar, al futbolín y a los dardos. Para los más internautas cuenta con wifi propia..lo que te permite estar conectado en todo momento, y la verdad funciona muy bien. En cuanto al entorno, decir que está en una zona muy tranquila, en la cual no hay ruídos molestos nin nada!Además Rianxo está situado en un espacio estratégico, que te permite visitar desde las Rías Baixas, Santiago de Compostela o incluso irte un poco más al norte!!Puedes ir andando hasta el pueblo, disfrutando así de bonitos paseos junto al mar. El trato recibido por "Dori" es muy bueno, te ayuda en todo lo que necesitas, te da información y es muy amable, además se nota que cuida con mucho cariño la casa, lo que hace que valores el lugar en el que te encuentras! Os recomiendo a todos la casa y el lugar, además dispone cerca de esta otra casa, no se si con el mismo encanto, pero a si desde fuera lo parace!!Merece mucho la pena ir, nosotros desde luego volveremos!!!
