Casa Gwen is a friendly & spacious holiday home with a big garden directly on the Caminho Santiago da Costa. We welcome pilgrims, couples, families, groups, but also single travellers. Casa Gwendoline can either be rented out as entire house for up to 11 visitors, or - in the meanwhile - we also rent out single rooms to travellers/couples and shorter visits. You have your own entrance and the entire upper house (1st and 2nd floor) will be yours during your stay. You are also very welcome to use the garden and the pick-nick- and barbecue area. We have 3 cats and 2 sociable dogs. Pets are welcome. We are located in a peaceful, rural surrounding, yet close to the centre of Vila Nova de Cerveira, the Rio Minho and a wide range of activities. The ocean is 11 km away. Please find more info and fotos on our CasaGwendoline website We are looking forward to welcoming you in our home!
Lawrence Ross, your main host is a retired but young at heart Bering sea fisherman, with roots in Cornwall, England. Vani M Hopf - Co-Host and partner - has lived in Portugal for 18 years after travelling the world.
We live in a rural neighbourhood of a lovely mixture of Portuguese and international people. A friendly haven on the Caminho Santiago, along gardens with home grown veggies, fields with sheep and vines... Portuguese rural flair with beautiful wide views over the river Minho. Only 1km down hill lies Vila Nova de Cerveira, a touristically well established little village - the village of the arts - with many attractions, events and holiday-options. The "friendship-bridge" leads directly from Cerveira over the river Minho toward Galicia, Spain.
