Los 10 mejores rentales vacacionales de Lugo

If you are looking at a vacation rental in Lugo, the first thing you should know is that the city is small and walkable, so location matters more for the atmosphere than for distances. The most sought-after area is the historic center, around the Roman Wall, because you have everything at hand: the cathedral, the Plaza Mayor, the tapas bars, and the Ronda promenade. There you will find mainly apartments, many of them renovated in old buildings, with the drawback that street noise can be noticeable on weekends. If you prefer tranquility, the area of Avenida de Ramón Ferreiro or the surroundings of Parque Rosalía de Castro give you quick access to the center on foot in ten minutes, with easier parking and more modern buildings. The train and bus station area is also practical if you arrive without a car, although it is less pretty and with less leisure offer.

The main difference between areas lies in the type of accommodation and the price. In the historic center, small apartments with kitchens, designed for short stays, predominate, while on the outskirts there are vacation homes and some villas, more oriented towards families or groups looking for space and a garden. Hotels and guesthouses are spread throughout the city, but the most economical ones are usually in the southern area, near the Santiago road. As for prices, the cheapest you will find between November and March, outside the high season, when an apartment can go for 63 euros per night. In summer and during Holy Week, demand rises, and the average price approaches 122 euros per night, although booking in advance you can find deals. The average category of accommodations is 3.5 stars, so do not expect great luxuries, but rather a clean and functional base.

To get there, the most comfortable option is the car, because Lugo is well connected by highway with A Coruña, Santiago, and Madrid, and it allows you to move to the Ribeira Sacra or the beaches of the Mariña. If you come by train, the station is about fifteen minutes on foot from the center, and there are urban buses that connect with the historic center. Once there, almost everything is done on foot, although to climb from the Miño river or from the A Tinería neighborhood there are considerable slopes. Before booking, check if the accommodation has an elevator, because many old buildings do not have one, and if it includes a parking space, since parking in the center is complicated and expensive. It is also advisable to check if the kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher or washing machine, and if the Wi-Fi is fiber or only ADSL, because in some cases the connection is limited. Finally, look at the photos of the bathrooms and beds in detail, and read recent reviews about cleanliness and noise, which are the two most common problems in this type of rental.
