Large restored rural house in Folgoso do Courel

Stone house restored in Serra do Courel, dream refuge among mountains

This ensemble is located in a small village in the heart of Serra do Courel, just 20 minutes from Folgoso do Courel. The property is located right at the entrance to the village, facing a large stone threshing floor and next to a beautiful washhouse with natural water fountain. It has abundant parking space in the vicinity.

The village, declared Cultural Heritage Site, constitutes one of the best preserved rural complexes in the territory, where traditional slate and stone architecture remains intact. The traditional constructions, original cobblestones and harmonious integration with the mountainous landscape make this corner one of the most authentic places in all of Galicia.

Three stone buildings connected by an interior courtyard form this ensemble that once operated as a rural tourism house with all licenses. The facilities remain in perfect condition and have the necessary equipment to develop the activity, offering an exceptional opportunity both to resume the rural tourism business and to transform it into a magnificent family home with unique characteristics.

An architectural legacy distributed in three restored buildings

The property comprises 816 m² built distributed in three stone buildings that create a harmonious unit with the environment and with the traditional character of the village. The constructions communicate through a cobblestone interior courtyard that has three access gates: one in the main threshing floor of the village and two others in a side street.

Complete facilities combining capacity and rural authenticity

In total, the property houses ten rooms with private bathrooms, two additional toilets, living room, dining room, fully equipped industrial kitchen, tavern and an independent apartment. The total capacity is 23 people, and some of the spaces are adapted for people with functional diversity.

The ensemble, carefully restored and conserved, preserves the beauty of natural stone and wood carpentry in all its spaces, creating warm and authentic environments that faithfully reflect the constructive traditions of rural Galicia.

Functional distribution in three interconnected structures

The main house consists of two of the buildings joined by a wooden walkway enclosed by large windows. One of these constructions houses the bedrooms, living room and toilets, while the other includes the spacious dining room with exposed wooden beams, the industrial kitchen and the tavern.

The third building constitutes an independent apartment with bedroom, kitchenette, dining room and living area.

Several courtyard areas serve as transition between the different spaces, creating unique corners with covered and outdoor areas.
