Casal de Armán

Top choice in Galicia


You can kill several birds with one stone at this dignified country house set among vineyards and lovely Avia valley countryside, 6km northeast of Ribadavia. The six cosy rooms feature plenty of exposed stone, and toiletries made from grape extract! Also here are a top Ribeiro winery and the fine restaurant Sábrego, serving a seasonal array of delicious, chiefly Galician fare with some creative twists.

Standout dishes might include the lamb shoulder with cachelos (boiled potatoes), or the San Martiño fish (John Dory) with cockles and cream of celeriac. Reservations essential for weekends. When the restaurant isn't open, you'll have to go out to Ribadavia or O Carballiño to eat.
