Good sized shared swimming pool 'with a view' in mature green and secure grounds.

Peaceful area, with river, forest and hill walks direct from Finca. Sandy river beach, safe for swimming, 10 minutes walk, with many gorgeous sandy sea beaches within 15- 30 minutes drive, on both Spanish and Portuguese side.

Idyllic setting for a beautiful holiday

Had such a wonderful week staying in the cottage. The owner could not do enough for us. Extremely knowledgeable and gave us great suggestions on how to get the maximum from our stay; where to sightsee, eat, shop etc. We spent a few lazy afternoons around the lovely pool after beautiful long walks in the mornings. We even walked to Portugal! A couple of evenings we sat eating our dinner on the beautiful veranda overlooking Portugal. Cannot recommend this beautiful gem enough.

Long white sandy beaches and beautiful river swimming pools

We have just come back from two weeks staying in this lovely Finca. There was something for everyone, including our 12 and 14 year old boys, to enjoy. Robin made us feel so at home and helped us get the most out of the beautiful area. The cottage's thick walls kept it cool and the lush garden planting and inviting pool made it a wonderful place to return to after exploring or laze about all day. The area has everything from the long white sandy beaches of Portugal, just over the river, or our favourite, beautiful river swimming pools that wind their way through eycalyptus woods. We liked that it is not a 'touristy' area and Robin helped us find places we would't have got to alone. We were there in Fiesta season, which was very entertaining. They certainly like their daytime fireworks and drums! Last mention goes to Broc (a collie) who worked as hard as his owner to make sure we had a lovely time. Thank you so much Robin.

Lovely finca right at the Portuguese border

We loved staying at the cottage. The whole finca is just beautiful and well-kept. The cottage was very clean when we arrived and is nicely arranged. Robin is the perfect host. From the first moment on you can tell that he really cares. He pointed us many beautiful places to visit and was always around to help. Our three kids loved the dog and the cat which really made them feel at home. The surrounding is also just lovely. There are many diffenrent places to swim, from pools in fresh water rivers to beaches at the Rio Minho and the Atlantik Ocean. We stayed there in July and the weather was nice but not too hot. We will definitely come back!

Beautiful peaceful location

Worked really well for our family - completely peaceful lovely place to relax but easy access to great swimming spots and other activities. Loved being able to walk to good local restaurants in the evenings. My only hesitation in recommending the finca is that we plan to return and don’t want it all booked up!

About the host

Hosted by Pam Anand

Being in nature is what I love most and thats why I fell in love with Galicia and 'Finca Rio Mino' at first sight when I visited for the first time in 2020. An inner voice said you are home, and three years later I am so happy to say it is.
I have over a decade in hosting Retreats in Goa, India, ensuring my guests needs are met and look forward to assisting guests here in Galicia.
My passion and purpose in life is to teach Yoga, meditation and other spiritual practices and in the coming years I will be offering Retreats at this property too.
If you would like to learn a practice whilst you here, its a possibility...
This is an area with such beautiful peaceful, yet exhilarating diversity, that whatever the time of year or weather, it is impossible to be bored or have nothing to do.... From walks along the river, water sports, beaches, mountain hikes, yoga, visiting vine wards, amazing markets and fabulous restaurants, there is always something to do or the choice to do nothing and enjoy the beauty and peace at Finca rio mino.
