Convento de San Benito, A Guarda

Description: Convento de San Benito

This charming hotel offers comfortable bed and breakfast accommodation in a tranquil, historic atmosphere.

Situated on the southern tip of the Rías Baixas region, A Guarda is an ideal spot for exploring this beautiful corner of Galicia.
