In the heart of the "Ribeira
Sacra"
This Benedictine monastery
in the middle of the Ribeira Sacra, an area of outstanding natural beauty
where the rivers Miño and Sil meet, is one of Galicia’s monastic
centres and now a holiday highlight.
The existence of the Monastery
has been proven in the 10th century, although its origins appear to be
in the 6th and 7th centuries. In the monastery styles range from Romanesque
to Baroque, with three remarkable cloisters (Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance).
The building was declared a Historic and Artistic Monument in 1923. |
|
|
| The Hotel has a total of
77 rooms distributed around three cloisters of different styles and periods.
The rooms are particularly interesting as they are all different, some
with impressive views over the landscape and the valleys of the river Sil.
The Hotel has a restaurant
with terrace by the chestnut forest, a café with terrace in the
entrance cloister, lounges and beautiful gardens. The hotel also
has a relaxing spa.

The restaurant offers river
products, thanks to its position, and traditional Galician dishes, with
the local wines taking a starring role.
Outstanding dishes include
octopus, eels and trout. Among the meats, the excellent local beef. Dishes
such as lacón con grelos (boiled pork and greens) and cocido (stew)
complete the offer. Desserts include Bica de Trives and Bica de Castro
Caldelas (local cakes).
