Ferienhaus Dezanove House in Galicien, A Pobra do Caramiñal, Aldea Ribeirina / ES – Spain

Holiday home Dezanove House

The Dezanove House, situated in a small fishing village in the nor­thwest of Spain, refers with its mate­rials to its location by the sea. It fea­tures recycled wood from the local fishing industry — wood that ori­gi­nally formed part of the floating plat­forms (bateas) used for mussel farming and thus was exposed to sea, wind and weather for decades. The rough, wea­thered exterior of the wood has been used for the facade, the smooth inside for interior finis­hings and fur­niture.
Situated on a rocky hillside, the house is com­prised of two parts: the extro­verted living area that opens onto pan­o­ramic views and the intro­verted sleeping area with a wooden facade, which can be com­pletely closed off by folding shutters. In the open living area, the floors, walls and ceiling are made of wood; in the bed­rooms, exposed con­crete domi­nates. The ground floor fea­tures a studio with a bedroom, living area and kit­chenette. The house doesn’t just offer spec­ta­cular views of the sea — a quiet, sandy beach is only a few steps away.

Wir haben als Familie mit 3 Gene­ra­tionen dieses geschmack­volle und licht­durch­flutete Design-Haus bewohnen dürfen. Es ist alles Not­wendige im nahen Umkreis per Auto gut zu erreichen, lediglich die — in Galizien ja durchaus vor­han­denen — höher­ka­rä­tigen Restau­rants sind nur mit län­gerer Anfahrtszeit zu erreichen. Da das Haus aber mit Top-Küche, Grill etc. aus­ge­stattet ist, und wir die nahen Ein­kaufs­mög­lich­keiten gerade für fri­schen Fisch sehr gern genutzt haben waren wir als küchen­ver­liebte Selbst­ver­sorger bei herrlich warmem Wetter in unserem open­space bei geöff­neter Glas­front und traum­haftem Meer­blick sehr, sehr glücklich! Die Bade­mög­lichkeit am kleinen Strand, v.a. auch morgens bei wenig Betrieb war ein zusätz­licher Plus­punkt! Der Kontakt mit den Eigen­tümern war sehr zuvor­kommend und jederzeit zuver­lässig.

We spent a week with two families (kids between 1 and 6 years), which worked great with one family ups­tairs and the other in the down­s­tairs apartment. The house is beau­tiful in every respect as well as inspiring. Kitchen well equipped. The beach at the footstep is calm and good for swimming and kids. Great morning runs along the seaside. Amazing food throughout Galicia as well as in the house with a private chef. Huge hit with the kids: climbing up the rocks of the Pedras valley and swimming in the pools. We also apprciated all the tips and recom­men­da­tions in the house and easy com­mu­ni­cation with Ana and Inaki — Many thanks!

UN PARAÍSO PARA LOS SENTIDOS
Acudí a la casa con la intención de pasar unos días en un lugar tran­quilo donde poder des­conectar y recargar pilas. Al llegar me quedé gra­ta­mente impre­sionada con la loca­li­zación y arqui­tectura de la casa. Tenía el mar al cruzar la calle y una casa que invitaba al descanso y la rela­jación. La sen­sación al estar dentro era de que la casa estaba viva. Todos los ele­mentos estaban muy pre­sentes, la madera que lo envuelve todo como en un abrazo, la cir­cu­lación del aire que creaba la sen­sación de que la casa respiraba, los grandes vent­anales abiertos al mar, las cam­pa­nillas de viento que hacían vibrar todo el espacio, la chi­menea. Me pareció un lugar mágico. Real­mente pierdes la noción del tiempo estando allí.
La casa está per­fec­ta­mente equipada con todo lo que puedas ima­ginar, llena de pequeños y grandes detalles que la hacen real­mente aco­gedora y especial. Me dió pena no saber tocar el piano, invitaba a escucharlo. Leer un libro en el salón con esas mara­vil­losas vistas fue una delicia. Ver ama­necer sobre el mar mientras descansas en la cama y darte un baño con­tem­p­lando el ocaso no tienen precio. Me sentí tan a gusto en la casa que apenas quise salir. Me parece un lugar idílico para un retiro, para los amantes de la tran­quilidad. Lo único malo: después no quieres mar­charte. Volveré seguro. 10 de 10. Gracias por ofrecer un espacio tan cuidado en todos los detalles.

Wir haben unseren Auf­enthalt in Dezanove und in Galicia sehr genossen. Das Haus ist sehr ruhig, liegt direkt an einem kleinen Strand, und es läßt sich vom Haus die Umgebung mit wun­der­baren Stränden und Städten erkunden. Die Ein­richtung im Haus ist geschmackvoll und die Aus­stattung läßt keine Wünsche offen. Die gesamte Kom­mu­ni­kation mit Ana & Ika hat zu jeder Zeit sehr gut geklappt.
Wir kommen wieder :-)

Klaus sagt:

Ein aus­ser­ge­wöhn­liches, sehr schönes, unglaublich lichtes Haus, in dem sich auch Tage mit schlech­terem Wetter gut ver­leben lassen. Die Ein­richtung ist stilvoll, die Aus­stattung her­vor­ragend. Alles, was man braucht, aber auch viele attraktive Ziele finden sich in wenigen Kilo­metern Ent­fernung. Wir wurden freund­lichst begrüsst; unsere Fragen — Pro­bleme gab es keine — umgehend geklärt. Allein, wissen sollte man, dass das Haus über die Etagen hinweg offen ist.

We had very relaxing and com­for­table holiday in this mar­velous house. The archi­tecture is really stunning. Every time you see the ocean shim­mering just in front of the house you feel relaxed auto­ma­ti­cally slow down a little bit. The spa­cious rooms, the modern kitchen and daily cleaning gua­rantee the luxury expe­rience. Espe­cially the fully equipped kitchen left nothing to be desired. An evening on the roof terrace is the perfect way to end the day.

We also loved to dis­cover Galicia in the sur­rounding area of Dezanove House. The surf beaches, the rocky pools and the overall green nature are perfect for a diver­sified holiday expe­rience. And the food in the various restau­rants was never a dis­ap­pointment.

Around New Year’s Eve we (four adults) spent a week in this won­derful house. Beeing win­tertime we couldn’t go swimming at the lovely beach right in front of the house. But it was so great staying inside enjoying the beau­tiful pan­o­ramic view through cine­ma­scope sized huge windows over the bay. The flo­or­heating added to the cosiness.
Every morning we woke up with the same great view from the bed­rooms, seeing the sun rising over the bay.
We app­re­ciated the per­fectly designed and equipped kitchen where we loved to prepare great dinners.
There are al lot of nice and con­ve­nient corners in the house so that everyone from us could find a quiet place for relaxing, reading or just enjoying the archi­tecture.
For me the design of the house in every detail was the absolut high­light. I loved these old wooden boards in com­bi­nation with naked con­crete, white walls and huge windows so much. It’s a three­di­men­sional artwork with bril­liant com­posed per­spec­tives on three floors.
Because of it’s cosiness we left the house just for buying fresh fish and for some inte­resting excur­sions: The wild water basins (must be great for a bath in summer), the Atlantic ocean at the dunes natural park, the ruins of a Celtic village and not to forget Santiago di Com­postela. All of it pretty nearby.
Our days in Dezanove have been pure fun.
Many thanks to Anna and Inaki, the Deza­nove’s archi­tects, who both wel­comed us per­so­nally with greatest warmness and gene­rosity (thanks for this won­derful Galician tart).
We’d love to come again some time soon.

Wir waren begeistert von dem wun­der­vollen Haus. Dezanove stellt eine wirklich ori­gi­nelle und gelungene Mischung dar von Mate­rialien aus Galicien (Hölzer, Steine) im Außen­be­reich und einem durch­dachten, groß­zü­gigen, hoch­wer­tigen Innen­be­reich. Die Küche ist so gut aus­ge­stattet, dass wir es fast bedau­erten, sie nicht noch inten­siver genutzt zu haben. Jedes Detail ist besonders — aus­ge­sprochen schön auch die große Glas­front zum Garten mit Blick auf das Meer. Das Haus steht in einer kleinen Durch­gangs­straße mit wenig Verkehr und einem Zugang zum Strand; die Nach­bar­schaft ist freundlich und ruhig. Ca. 15 km ent­fernt findet man einen kilo­me­ter­langen Sand­strand, der trotz Haupt­saison fast leer war. Die Gast­geber sind sehr auf­merksam; auf kleine Anmer­kungen und Fragen reagierten sie binnen von Minuten. Ein sehr schöner Auf­enthalt für die ganze Familie; wir werden sicherlich wie­der­kommen. Vielen Dank!
