Pepe Vieira
Minimalist forest retreat — architectural, nature-forward, gastronomy-first. Think dark tones, concrete and glass, tatami-style beds, all-black bathrooms. The vibe is Japanese-influenced Galician — austere in design, maximal in experience.
The Romasanta menu (€255/pp) is the full experience — 3 amuse-bouches, 9 courses, 3 desserts. Add the wine pairing (+€96) as the Camino de Santiago-themed wine list is genuinely special.
Why It Matters
Two Michelin stars and a Michelin Green Star for the restaurant, plus two Michelin Keys for the hotel — all on the same forested hilltop overlooking the Ría de Pontevedra. Chef Cannas has built his 'la última cociña do mundo' philosophy around ancestral Galician recipes, local fishermen, and an on-site organic garden. Member of Relais & Châteaux since 2023.
Fourteen freestanding concrete cubes scattered across 12,500 m² of Galician forest — that's the hotel. Chef Xosé T. Cannas opened the restaurant here in 2000, built a two-Michelin-star reputation over two decades, then added the rooms in 2023. The concept is total: you eat at one of Spain's most forward-thinking tables, then sleep inside the landscape that inspired the food. Adults only, no pets, no compromises.
Where You'll Stay
1 room type available
Galpón (Double Room)
From EUR315 / nightEach of the 14 galpones is a freestanding modernist concrete cube, designed to sit inside the forest rather than sit beside it. Floor-to-ceiling glass on two sides frames forest views; a glazed interior courtyard pulls natural light into the room from above. Décor is strictly minimalist: natural tones, clean straight lines, a tatami-style low bed, and a fully black bathroom. Glass sliding doors open onto a private terrace. There's a minibar, coffee machine, air conditioning, desk, and premium bedding. The rooms are quiet — no road noise, only forest.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Off-site excursion to Bodega Albamar, a family winery in business for around 25 years. Includes transfer to and from the hotel, a guided winery tour, professional tasting, and homemade regional food.
A walk through the kitchen garden showing the full composting and growing cycle, from soil to seasonal dish. Ends with a tasting of one of the restaurant's signature local appetizers.
The property sits at the start of several countryside walking routes, including a mills walk that connects to the Armenteira viewpoint and Castrove viewpoint. Wild horses, rabbits, and roe deer are regularly spotted on the grounds and nearby trails.
The full immersion package: dinner using the O Señor de Andrade tasting menu, bed and breakfast, a guided visit to the Pepe Vieira winery with a tasting glass, and a guided tour of the organic kitchen garden.
Access to Cannas's research and development kitchen — where new dishes are created and tested before they hit the menu. Guests taste one exclusive work-in-progress dish. A genuine rarity at any restaurant of this calibre.
The hotel is close to A Lanzada beach, one of the best in the Rías Baixas — 2.5 km of sand, moderate swells and northerly winds, suitable for surfing, diving, and sailing. Not hotel-operated but accessible from the property.
A one-hour guided tasting in the hotel's own wine cellar, led by the sommelier. Two formats: either a Rías Baixas Denomination of Origin focus or a broader Galician wine selection.
