Casa Benjamin


Casa Benjamin is officially from 1840, but the oldest parts have existed since the 17th century. In the living room, the first roof is still visible in the piedras wall. A Galician country house with the authentic atmosphere of the past, but completely renovated, so that it is a comfortable and energetically pleasant house for all seasons.
The hamlet of Chímparra is the oldest hamlet in the valley and has its own microclimate. Protected by the ridge between the village and the ocean, it is located in a quiet environment, where the most heard sounds are those of birds, river and sometimes the wind. An atmosphere to relax and unwind. But also a good base for beach, walks, culture, etc.

The house
The entire house including private garden are at your disposal. All rooms in the house are on one level. Brackets in the shower to hold you. The front and back door have a (front; low, rear; somewhat higher) sill. The rear garden terraces have height differences to be reached via a staircase and/or slope.
There are no facilities for staying with babies under two years of age.
Chímparra is a location where you can relax. In the house is WiFi via the fiber optic network, available.

In addition, a 220V (monophase 16A) connection point for the E-car (no charging station), which consumption will be charged separately via a kWh meter (€0.30/kWh). You must have your own cable and adapter plug with you.

How to get there;
Galicia is easily accessible by car (recommended). La Autovía del Cantábrico, the AP-8, stretches like a smooth curly ribbon across the Spanish north coast from the Pyrenees to Vilalba. Then it is only a short distance to Cedeira and Chímparra. Own transport is highly recommended, also for getting around in the area. Public transport is not directly nearby; train (terminus Ferrol 40km ) and bus (terminus estación de autobuses Cedeira 7km) and plane (Santiago de Compostela 120km and A Coruña 80km) .
Parking on site.

Verified host
I'm Simone. Together with my husband Alex and our co-host Shane, we transformed Casa Benjamin from a 17th century ruin into a very comfortable and eco-friendly holiday home. But retaining the original Galician appearance. We want to bring the village of Chímparra back to a state of comfortable holiday homes but with the authentic appearance and atmosphere. We want to share the wonderful tranquility of this area with you!.

Co-host Shane speaks English and Spanish

Location & area recommendations

Additional information

From Casa Benjamin there are several walks, including the old route to San Andrés de Teixido. Or to the top of Monte Tairroiba. To the Faro Candieira lighthouse. Or from Castelo da concepción the entire route to San Andrés de Teixido over the back of the mountains on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
In the area are beautiful viewpoints and wonderful beaches.
Like the miradoiro da Miranda.
The beach of Villarube. You feel more like you're in a tropical environment. And especially in the early and late season you have the beach practically to yourself.
For swimming or surf surfing. A beach as big as you rarely encounter
The beach of Cedeira - playa Magdalena. Near the praza Roxa (red square) where several cozy cafes and restaurants.
And the rio de Condomiñas flows from the Capelada, the nature reserve, through the valley past Chímparra in Cedeira.
What Santiago de Compostela is to the European pilgrim, San Andrés de Teixido is to the Gallego. Every Gallego should make a pilgrimage to San Andrés de Teixido at least once in his life. And if this does not succeed in life, it will have to be done after death. "vai de morto quen non foi de vivo". Casa Benjamin was the original starting location of the pilgrimage to San Andrés de Teixido. And you can still follow the five kilometers to San Andrés on the old footpaths.
