We wish to welcome you to Rectoral de Cobres. We have devoted all
our efforts in making it a charming hotel, a special place where
your stay will be unforgettable. It used to be the village parsonage,
built in 1729, on a hill that offers breathtaking views over
the Vigo estuary and the strait of Rande, where Francis Drake
once chased the stately Spanish galleons.
We are conveniently close to the Atlantico motorway and the Vigo
airport, but far enough to preserve the quiet of the eight rooms
we have refurbished and prepared to combine comfort required
by a traveller in the 20th century with the charm of an 19th
century Galician stone mansion.
You will find the
warmest of welcomes here
in this unforgettable location, where the massive stone
walls reflect the Celtic history of Galicia. This charming
hotel used to be the village rectory, built in 1729 on a
hill offering breathtaking views over the Vigo Ría
and the Strait of Rande.
The
art and architecture of this robust building is further
enhanced by its spectacular granary which today houses not
grain but exhibitions and parties. Should you ever tire of
the art and history, you will find many activities nearby,
from scuba diving in search of the lost Rande galleons to
visiting the stone-age rock carvings at Campo Lameiro or
playing a round on the extraordinary Ría
de Vigo golf course.No restaurant, but why worry?
The local area is full of restaurants, and renowned for some of the
best seafood in the world. Buffet breakfast is available.
The hotel is conveniently located within easy range of the motorway
and Vigo airport, but far enough away from them that they do nothing
to intrude on the splendour and peace of Rectoral de Cobres. Any
one of the eight unique guestrooms will give you a stay to be remembered,
while the lounges, the bar, the library or the pool give you space
to practice the art of making friends. That's how Randi and Juan,
your hosts, would like you to remember them.
