The guesthouse

Two restored houses, one garden that unites them

Bicotorto was born from the careful restoration of traditional buildings in A Laixa, in A Arnoia, joined by a shared garden. A sustainable rural tourism project that celebrates the heritage, the landscape and the warmth of the Galician home, just steps from the spa, the vineyards and the Camino de Santiago.
