THE HOUSE AMIDST  THE CHESTNUT TREES
In Chaguazoso, in the municipality of A Mezquita, there is an unforgettable spot, the perfect combination of history and nature. The country house, Casa Grande de A Cerca, is surrounded by 5 Ha. of land, with magnificent hundred year old chestnut trees. The house, started building in 1700 and whose last facade dates from 1901,was restored in 2002 and has 1500 m2 of surface – space enough for guests to wander about and relax.

NEAR LAKE SANABRIA
Located in the heart of one of only three nature reserves of the chestnut tree in Europe, the Casa Grande A Cerca offers a privileged vantage point on the place where three ancient kingdoms converge -Galicia, Castile and Portugal. Only 20 minutes from Lake Sanabria, the house is surrounded by an idyllic landscape of mountains that stand out against the horizon, conjuring up images of an isolated world, where all is peaceful and species like the chestnut still have a reason for being.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
The impeccably restored interior of the Casa Grande offers guests the opportunity to enjoy spacious living areas that are perfect for rest and relaxation, reading, or simply contemplating the gardens through the window. There are three dining rooms where the guest can savour the delicious gastronomy of the area and the cafeteria, which was constructed on the site of the old wine cellar, retains all the enchantment and mystery of this inviting spot.

Set in a privileged location, the Casa is an ideal base from which to visit the neighbouring lands of Castile and Portugal. Breathtaking scenery boasting meadows and hills, where the king of them all is the chestnut tree. Enjoy this countryside on foot, on horseback, or perhaps on a bicycle.
