A very charming place. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and they made sure to have gluten-free options upon request. But without a doubt, the best thing about the manor is Rosa and Thomas, who took care of us and made sure that the stay was perfect. To repeat, without a doubt.

“We have spent four wonderful days at the Chaioso manor. An accommodation where you breathe love in every corner. From the moment we arrived, Rosa and Thomas made us feel at home, with a warmth and friendliness that is difficult to find. The manor has been restored with incredible dedication and impeccable taste, maintaining the charm of the original architecture but with all the comforts. The rooms are cozy and spacious, and the garden is a true paradise, perfect for sitting and enjoying the landscape and tranquility that surrounds the place. The manor has a good location to get to the different points of interest in the Ribeira Sacra. Rosa and Thomas made sure that every detail was perfect, from a delicious breakfast with fresh and homemade products, to recommendations for discovering the area. Their love and dedication to this project is evident in every detail, and we have no doubt that this will be a place we will return to every time we want to disconnect and recharge. Thank you for creating this very special refuge!

This is an exceptional place and Thomas and Rosa are exceptional people. The rooms are clean, inviting , comfortable and warm. The grounds are gorgeous. The house was lovingly restored by the owners. Breakfasts are fantastic. Maceda is a nice little town in a gorgeous region. Even the cats are well behaved and delightful !! Above all, Thomas and Rosa are kind, engaging committed, helpful and multilingual. I almost never write reviews and this is the first review I have ever volunteered to do-- it's THAT good! If I am lucky to find myself in Galicia again, this is where I will stay. This place is a gem.

First of all for its owners, great hosts, for the place itself and specifically for the history behind it. A very interesting and exciting project with a great final result. Thanks for sharing a few hours with us. We will be back!!!

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
