Vacation Rental Description
Hotel Caracol is a recently refurbished small, friendly hotel, situated off the coastal road between Pontevedra and Sanxenxo. Sitting just metres from the shores of the Ria de Pontevedra, overlooking the beautiful Island of Tambo, there are two beaches, an old harbour and a small taverna.
This small seaside hotel is a delightful alternative to self catering, it´s informal ¨come and go as you please¨ atmosphere will have you feeling totally relaxed. It´s also a great place for kids, free to play on the beaches and completely welcome for ice creams in the bar.
The hotel also boasts, what we consider to be the best restaurant in the area, sit on the terrace overlooking the sea, and enjoy the freshest seafood, or local meats cooked in a traditional wood burning oven (asadora), served by the ever gregarious Paco the hotel owner.
The hotel is perfectly placed to visit many wonderful towns, villages, islands and beaches, or just laze in the sun.
Why not explore the Ria from our boat, discover hidden beaches and bars and take a trip around the island, or try a spot of fishing. Rental 40 euros per day plus fuel

Visit Combarro & discover a smugglers paradise of old buildings, bars, restaurants & small cobbled streets, or shop & dine in the brand new sports marina
Why not play golf somewhere different this year? Galicia is a mostly undiscovered holiday destination
and even more so for golfers. Together with Meis golf course and Hotel Caracol can offer complete society tours to family holidays.
Campo de Golf Meis is set amongst the tranquil pine forests that cap the top of the mount Castrove, this championship course (that recently hosted the European Ladies
Team Championship) is a fantastic venue to play. The tree lined fairways have many natural hazards as well as lakes and bunkers, making this a tough but rewarding 18 holes. Because you are in Galicia there is no starting your rounds a 5am to avoid the searing heat of the south and none of the queues either, just perfect hot sunny days through the summer and mild for the rest of the year. When you are done, relax in the club house and enjoy a glass of Albarino
wine while soaking up the amazing views.
