A great place to chill out!

I almost did not write this review as very selfishly I don’t want others to find this great villa and then find it difficult to book in a future year! I did promise Ken that I would write a review a little while ago so here goes….
My family had a great two weeks at Casa Tico in the summer holidays this year. We all managed to completely wind down and did very little other than eat, drink, laze by the pool and on the local beach! We got into the local way of life, up late, eat late and bed late. We were often still on the beach at 7pm.
Casa Tico is very spacious with plenty of room to spread out and find a quiet corner, be it in one of the rooms, the garden or by the pool. The kitchen is large and well equipped making it easy to cater for large numbers. The balcony is a great place to sit and eat in the evenings and just watch the sunset over the Cies Island. Four bathrooms also make life very easy with a large family. My family really enjoyed the pool and it stopped the “can we go to the beach?” pleas. In fact if was more often the other way around “can we go back to the pool?”
The local private beach was down quite a few steep steps. This small beach was frequented by naturist the two weeks we were staying. A two minute walk across this beach and up over a small headland gets you onto a more normal popular public beach that has lifeguards. You can walk to this beach by the local roads and a footpath.
There is a great little local restaurant just 200 yards away with very cheap, good food. They serve the local wine in china cups. We ate there several times during the holiday, twice in the first couple of days as we got caught out with everything being closed on a Sunday and holidays (it was a holiday on the Monday after we arrived). This was no hardship though!
We did mange to tear ourselves away from the villa and beach for a day over on the Cies Islands. This was well worth it and a recommended day out. We also had a day trip to Santiago de Compostela to get our day of culture! During our two weeks we only heard someone speaking English twice. So it’s a great place to get away from the British holiday makers.
Ken, the owner was great in all communications and was very helpful. We certainly have Casa Tico on our list of places to return to in future years. Perhaps we would see more of the area; then again probably not, we would do the same and just chill out!
Thank you Ken and Fiona for letting us stay at Casa Tico!
