Quinta de San Amaro

Top choice


A dream base for enjoying the Rías Baixas, unique Quinta de San Amaro sits surrounded by vineyards 12km south of Cambados. With inspired traditional-meets-contemporary design, first-class service and a relaxed atmosphere, it unites 14 different rooms with diverse common spaces, including an inviting pool and lovely gardens.

An important part of the magic is the panoramic restaurant, serving delicious updates on traditional Galician cuisine (open to all; reservations recommended). Groups of four or more can do cooking classes (Galician, Mexican, Moroccan...) in a lovely big kitchen for €55 per person, including a full meal based on what you've prepared.
