About O Cruceiro de Aguiar
Nestled in the municipality of Vila de Cruces (Pontevedra) in the Deza River basin, the house is surrounded by forests and rivers, offering a serene environment where you can unwind and reconnect with nature—pure and untouched.
Originally built in 1630, the house has a storied past. It once belonged to the monks of the Carboeiro Monastery, serving as a collection and storage point for tithes and as a customs house for travelers heading to the Monastery of San Esteban de Carboeiro. This historic connection endures, with an ancient medieval Roman road still passing through the surrounding forest and crossing the river.
The house underwent a remarkable transformation in the 1990s under the visionary guidance of Isabel Aguirre, one of Galicia's most celebrated landscape architects and restoration experts. Her work on the property in 1993 was a testament to her commitment to preserving history while breathing new life into it. With meticulous attention to detail, Aguirre used noble materials such as stone and wood to maintain the house’s original character and timeless charm.
