Hotel Mi Norte

A hotel of films in the countryside

Mi Norte is in A Devesa, in the rural surroundings of Ribadeo, between the town and As Catedrais, also near Rinlo port. It opened in 2004 and presents itself as Spain's first cinema-themed hotel: each of its thirteen rooms is decorated after a film, from All About My Mother or Breakfast at Tiffany's to Out of Africa, and in the garden house are the suites The Blue Lagoon, The Great Wednesday and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Film professionals worked on the decoration: designers, directors of photography and decorators.

Rooms and prices

There are eight doubles with a double bed, two with two beds and three suites; some admit an extra bed or sofa bed, and there is a cot. All are exterior, with heating, full bathroom, television and internet, and some have a terrace. In low season the double costs €78 for one person and €80 for two, or €85 and €90 with a terrace. In high season (July, 1 to 15 September and Easter), the double for two costs €99, or €119 with a terrace, and in August, Christmas and New Year's the rates rise from €140. The extra beds are for under-12s. Breakfast is paid separately, €12.

What to know

There is no 24-hour reception: you must arrive before 20:00. If you book with them they give you a free pass for As Catedrais, useful at Easter and in summer. For dinner, Rinlo is nearby, with A Cofradía at the port.
