Casa do Sear
HSEA1, Sear, North Spain
Charming country hotel near the beach in the Rias Baixas
A delightful 400 year old country house, which has been in the same family for four generations, the present owners lovingly restored their home at the beginning of this century to create this charming and very special small hotel.
In extensive, beautifully maintained grounds, you are out in the country here, yet only a seven minute walk to the lovely Playa de Areas beach and five minutes by car to the bustling resort of Sanxenxo in the Rias Baixas and within easy distance to all the main sights and cities in the area.
With its very comfortable bedrooms, magical interior patio, cosy dining room and bar and relaxing sitting out areas, your attentive and welcoming hosts, Tito, Loli and Elena and family will pamper you in every way. Loli's delicious homemade cakes alone tell the tale. It is not surprising that the former King of Spain chose to stay here on one occasion!
