Villa Santíso

In the heart of Galicia, in the municipality of Santiso (A Coruña), lies Pazo da Pena, an extraordinary 18th-century manor house surrounded by approximately 26 hectares of private estates (260,000 m2). It offers privacy, tranquility, and a naturally beautiful setting.

History and architecture with character

The documented origins of this property date back to 1711, when Casa da Pena was linked to an old entail. Its name is related to the large rock on which, according to tradition, the estate rests.

The pazo embodies the essence of traditional Galician architecture, preserving unique elements such as stone walls, a covered corridor, an imposing chimney topped with pinnacles, a traditional six-pillar hórreo, and a circular dovecote.

Every corner conveys the charm and authenticity of old Galician manor houses.
