  Description

  Hey there! We’re a small family of two. I’m Mihai, 43, an entrepreneur with a few projects back in Romania, and my son Mihnea, who’s 18, studies Marine Biology at the University of Vigo—just a quick 15-minute ride from our place. We also share our home with two playful cats who keep things lively.
  
  We’re both passionate about sailing and have done quite a bit of traveling over the years. We speak English, Spanish, and Romanian, and love meeting friendly, open-minded people. In our free time, you’ll find us hiking, sailing, biking, foraging for mushrooms, enjoying concerts, or simply soaking up the local city vibe.
  
  Our home is just an 8-minute drive from the Atlantic coast. We have a garden with a variety of decorative plants and trees, plus a small pool that could use some renovation—but honestly, we’re more drawn to the ocean being so close by. With our sailboat at hand, we prefer to swim off the coast, leaving the sand behind.
  
  Guests can explore the enchanting Rías Baixas region, where Gondomar offers an authentic Galician feel. Nearby, the charming towns of Baiona and Nigrán have beautiful beaches like Playa América and Ladeira. For a more adventurous day, Mount Galiñeiro promises breathtaking views, while the city of Vigo offers vibrant life, fresh seafood, and bustling markets. This area perfectly blends coastal and mountain beauty, bringing together nature, culture, and relaxation at every turn.
