Family room with sloping ceiling for up to 4 people on the Costa da Morte.
A loft room on the second floor of the main and oldest house, with a sitting area with a sofa bed and two single beds together measuring 1.05 x 2 meters. This room features an elegant décor with wooden ceilings and stone walls, beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and bathtub.
Although it is a double room, Arao is capable of hosting 4 people, 2 adults and 2 childs in the sofa bed, plus a baby in a cot (no additional cost).
Due to the regulations that govern modifications in historic houses, the ceiling height is not very high, so if you are tall you may not be as comfortable as one would expect, especially in the bathtub area. The rest of the rooms have high ceilings.
An 18th-Century Manor on the Costa da Morte
Arao is the hotel’s most historically significant room. It occupies the second floor of the original manor, an 18th-century building with half-meter-thick stone walls and a wooden structure that has withstood three centuries with minimal alterations. Staying here is a far cry from a conventional hotel: the creaking floorboards, the weight of the silence, and the unevenness of the walls are all part of the ambiance. History isn’t just a backdrop; it’s literally the ceiling beneath your bed.
Camariñas and its Surroundings
The municipality where the hotel is located boasts a vibrant artisanal heritage. Bobbin lace—the encaixe de Camariñas—is a centuries-old tradition still practiced by some residents today. There are also uncrowded beaches just five minutes away, the Cabo Vilán Lighthouse less than ten minutes away, and coastal hiking trails that traverse one of Galicia’s wildest stretches of coastline. For families traveling with children and looking for ample space, Arao offers four berths in a setting that already has a lot to offer.
