A
GATEWAY TO GALICIA AND THE “RIBEIRA SACRA”
Less than an hour from the Rias Baixas beaches and the historic city of
Santiago de Compostela Soutullo Manor House is not only the natural
gateway to Galicia from the A52 motorway but also a starting point for
visiting the “Ribeira Sacra” on its two sides: the terraced vineyards of
the Lugo bank and the monumental artistic bank of Ourense, full of
outstanding ancient monasteries.
THE CHARM OF ANCIENT STONE
Soutullo Manor House, a small charming Hotel in an XVIII Century building,
is situated within 5 minutes ( 6 Km ) from the old town of Ourense along
one of the important Jacobean Pilgrim ways to Santiago, near Oseira
monastery where the writer Graham Green used to rest every summer. It is
set in a medieval village, surrounded by a 20.000 m_ country estate and
conserves many original architectural elements from its noble past.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Relaxing in front of the fire-place and enjoying a cup of tea “on the
house”, we will give you all the information you need to sample the scenic,
monumental-historical and gastronomic routes of the region. After tasting
one of our hearty buffet breakfasts, you may visit the Ribeira Sacra and
its monasteries, or in one day take a trip to a celtic settlement, a Roman
barracks, a visigothic church, a mozarabic chapel and a medieval tower.
You may like to walk through ancient Allariz, the jewish quarter of
Ribadavia or the old part of Ourense town. Ideally round off the day
having supper in one of the taverns or restaurants close to our house.
