We fell in love with it when it was still a ruin. We rescued it, lived in it, made it ours for decades. Restored with care and devotion to give it back the life it deserved. Today, ten minutes from Santiago de Compostela, it is open to whoever wants to share it.
Granite walls, wooden beams, terracotta floors and natural light. A space where rustic and contemporary coexist effortlessly.
The house
The house retains the full traditional Galician architecture: granite walls, exposed wooden beams and terracotta floors. Restored with care and craft, without erasing what makes it special.
The ground floor holds the main living room with the traditional lareira and stone oven — witness to centuries of history —, a fully equipped kitchen, a guest toilet and direct access to the rear courtyard. Upstairs: four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a second lounge.
The front garden — the eira — and the private rear courtyard with barbecue complete a space designed for unhurried living, inside and out.
Stone, wood and light.
Every corner has a story.
The lareira with forno
This monumental stone structure is not decoration: it is living history. The lareira was the centre of the Galician home, where people cooked, kept warm and shared long conversations.
The original forno — wood-fired oven for bread and empanadas — remains intact. Today it lives alongside the rest of the house, not imposing. Just keeping company.
The living rooms
Ground floor
Exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors and a wood-burning fireplace. Where the lareira, the kitchen and the door to the courtyard all come together. For morning coffee and long evenings.
First floor
Original granite wall, wooden floor and natural light from the windows. A second gathering space where the Galician character of the house becomes more intimate.

The surroundings
The Camino city. Cathedral, markets, gastronomy and an energy that feels different.
The Rías Baixas coast. Water, seafood and that Galician green that reaches all the way to the sea.
Sheep at dawn, horses, the Sestelo stream, granite hórreos. Sometimes nothing more is needed.
On foot from the house
Walk along the Sestelo stream, a centuries-old vine fountain, granite hórreos and the municipal swimming pool in summer (15 min walk).
Where to eat well
Casa Armando, Parrillada A Granxa, O Fogar do Santiso. In Santiago: Sexto II or Paz Nogueira for fresh fish and seafood of the day.
The village wakes on its own
Mornings in Bustelo have their own pace: sheep may graze in front of the house, or horses on the path up to the fountain.
"Switching off is not doing less.
It's being more."
