Casa de Trillo

A hamlet ten minutes from Muxía

Santa María de Coucieiro is a small hamlet in the municipality of Muxía, inland, and there Casa de Trillo works as a registered village house (group B, TR-CO-120). It is run by Pilar Trillo and her family. The distances given by the house: Muxía 8 km, about ten minutes; Fisterra 36 km, half an hour; Santiago and A Coruña, an hour and a quarter. Without a car it is not practical.

To get there from Muxía, head towards Os Muíños and take the Cee road on the right. About 4 km on, at Vilarmide, you turn right beside an Onda supermarket and the house is a kilometre away. From Fisterra or Santiago you join by the AC-552 and the same Vilarmide junction. The website details each route.

Rooms in the house, two apartments separate

Besides the rooms in the main house there are two apartments with equipped kitchen and heating, which can be connected to each other for a family or a group:

• Buserana: double bed, hydromassage bath, table and sofas.
• Touriñán: two beds, hydromassage shower and sofas; extra beds can be added.

The website does not publish rates: they are checked in its booking system. Breakfasts are homemade. There is a vegetable garden and garden, board games, television and books, and the Agar room, a room for groups of up to twenty people with a screen to connect a computer.

Pets, walks and experiences at the house

The house says it likes to welcome guests with their pets. It does not publish a supplement or conditions: ask when booking.

Walking routes start from the door. A member of the family leads a walk around the hamlet that talks about the area's rural life, passes through the woods and ends with a tasting of local produce. They also offer a romantic package for two (a welcome gift of wine or sparkling wine, fruit and chocolates) and arrange bookings for canyoning, kayaking or rafting. For walkers, the house works with the Bono Iacobus, five stages of the Camino de Santiago to Fisterra and Muxía.
