    Description

    Hi I'm Petra born in Holland some 55 years ago. I've spent the last 25 years building and restoring the ruins and land I bought. Working the land that needs some careful human hand sometimes.. We are musicians and I am also artist in other ways, giving painting classes in the area ... I'm working toward having rentals to give opportunity to share this little nature paradise. A strohbale roundhouse has been completed with the help of volunteers like you, and I'm still having plenty of projects and idea's to work on together or alone ...

    We will for sure go to some sightseeing and cultural events

    The location is Isolated, 2km from bus connection, 6 km from little town(A Lama) and 25km from the sea (Pontevedra) we live right on the river shore (50mt) with pools to bath , walks in oak forest ,
    I do appreciate some independence,so also would like you to be able to feel good on your own .
    But I also really enjoy showing you the surroundings ,have a drink out ,play some games etc.
