A Pena de Augasantas, Oca De Abaixo Overview
A Pena de Augasantas is located in Oca De Abaixo, Spain. Rated 9.6 out of 10 based on 87 guest reviews.
A Pena de Augasantas is an 18th-century country house in Oca de Abaixo, Spain, set on Oca de Abaixo, 16 for travelers who prefer quiet roads over city traffic. The property’s rustic character shows up in the stone-and-wood feel of the rooms and in the way the day flows from a warm terrace or garden moment to a proper meal at the on-site restaurant. Guests consistently praise the calm atmosphere and the practical comfort of non-smoking rooms, with heating for cooler evenings. WiFi is available for planning hikes or Camino days, and free parking makes it straightforward to come and go by car.
Reviewers who score the stay highly often mention how easy it is to reset after time on the road—one family described evenings spent outdoors followed by dinner that felt genuinely Galician rather than touristy. Others highlight the helpfulness of the stay for road trips, especially for travelers moving between Santiago de Compostela and the surrounding countryside.
If you’re looking for a place to base yourself while visiting Santiago, you can reach the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral and Praza do Obradoiro in about 55 km, and Monte do Gozo is roughly 52 km for a classic arrival viewpoint. For walkers, the nearby Camino de Santiago countryside sections are around 15 km, offering a change of pace from the house’s quiet garden setting.
