IN
THE HEART OF THE "RIBEIRA SACRA"
The house, located in the heart of the “Ribeira Sacra”,allows one to enjoy,
in their own setting, the impressive countryside of the Canyons of the
River Sil, numerous Romanesque monasteries and churches that make up the
most important group of Western Europe, or visit the vine yards, wine
cellars and craftmanship, in one of the historically deepest rooted wine
growing areas.
THE MISSES’ HOUSE
The manor was built in 1511 by the Díaz Varela family. Carlos Recarey Díaz
Varela upheld the Viceroyalty of Mexico, later returning to his homeland.
It was he who undertook the extension of the original building towards the
end of the 18th century. The decoration of the chapel and drawing rooms,
with unique frescos painted by Juan Bernardo de Castinande, dates back to
this period. The manor is known as “The Misses’ House” throughout the area
due to the sisters who lived there during the middle of the last century
and who were the last of the Díaz Varelas to live there.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
The house is located within a walled enclosure which harbours vineyards
and gardens, covering over 10.000m2, which make it an idyllic spot to rest
and enjoy nature. However, the sports facilities linked to the house,
including swimming pool tennis courts and football fields, allow one to
take exercise as does the golf course, which is about 10Kms away. One can
take trips around the area to get to know the “Ribeira Sacra”, or go on a
trip by catamaran along the Canyons of the River Sil. The native woodlands,
the vineyards or the riverbanks of the River Cabe offer ideal settings to
do trekking.
