Holiday homes and villas in Pontevedra

Pontevedra has 97 houses available for rent, with an average price of 226 euros per night and the lowest at 81 euros. Most are apartments (202) and holiday homes (81), although you will also find hotels, villas, guest houses and the occasional family homestay. The average category is four stars, so the quality standard is usually high, but it is worth taking a good look at the location and amenities before deciding.

For your stay, the most practical areas are the historic centre of Pontevedra capital, where you have everything on foot and a varied offer of apartments such as the Dúplex Casco Histórico; the beach area, especially in Sanxenxo or Portonovo, if you are looking for proximity to the sea and a seasonal atmosphere; and the interior, in towns such as Poio or Marín, where holiday homes like A Casiña do Xastre or A Veiga Grande usually have more land and tranquillity. The main difference between them lies in the type of trip: apartments are more urban and functional, holiday homes offer more space and privacy, and villas, such as Casa Maral, are designed for large groups or long stays. If you travel in high season (July and August), prices rise and it is advisable to book in advance; on the other hand, in May, June or September you find better rates and fewer crowds, with still reasonable weather.

To get there, the most convenient option is to fly to Santiago de Compostela or Vigo and from there hire a car, because many houses are in rural areas or on the outskirts and public transport does not always reach them well. Within the province, getting around by car is almost essential if you want to combine beach and mountains; in the capital you can park on the outskirts and walk. Before booking, check whether the price includes bed linen and towels, whether there are separate cleaning fees, the cancellation policy and whether the house has heating or air conditioning, because in the old houses of the historic centre this can vary a lot. It is also worth checking the photos of the rooms and reading recent comments about noise or the state of the access roads.
