Holiday house / apartment for rent - sleeps 2 or 3 - 75m2 - 2 Bedrooms, Kitchen, Living / Dinigroom, Bath (shower) and Garden - 350 € (Euros)/ week
At no 54/73 Mer, Proendos 27460 Sober Galicia Spain you'll find a row of 4 old cottages partly build of stone and partly build of brick. They have been lovingly renovated to form a 2 bed room apartment / house with a secluded and shaded garden and another house and yard / garden with a separate entrance, which is where we live.
It's about 1:30 from Santiago de Compostella airport. Long distance trains do stop in Monforte de Lemos.
The rental comfortably sleeps 2 & 1 or 1 & 1 . It is on the first floor with cellars underneath. A typical galician kitchen and it's "cocina economica" , a large lounge with a wood burner, a bed room with a large double bed and a small second bed room with a single bed. A bath room with shower (hot) under floor warming and downstairs access to a shaded garden with ample seating. We have central heating, so if it turns cold - no worries. The fridge lives in the "old" smoking room which is upstairs beside the kitchen. The property has been renovated to high standards but the "old charm" has been painstakingly preserved.

If you have read the blogs and articles you may glean that we love to live here and cherish the small hamlet of Mer. It is a very rural setting in a farming community, but surprisingly only 5 minutes from Sober with its restaurant, 2 bars, 2 shops, a surgery and much more. Further 10 minutes will take you to Monforte de Lemos (19.000 inhabitants) with its delightful "Escorial of Monforte", pedestrianised shopping area, cafe's, bars and if you can stay up late discotheques and entertainment.
