    The secret of Ribeira Sacra: a palace full of history

    THE HOTEL
    Áurea Palacio de Sober

    Between the 7th century walls and the never-ending gardens stands the Aurea Palacio de Sober, a palace hidden in the heart of Galicia that beats with the history of a region that has been amazing mankind since the Roman Age: the Ribeira Sacra.

    Aurea Palacio de Sober takes the best from this wine growing region, with its magical nature and thermal springs, and gathers it together into a 4 star hotel with state of the art luxuries such as a glass-fronted spa with nature views, 20,000 m2 of gardens and a restaurant with the freshest products.

    The spacious and bright rooms and suites will be the perfect haven from which you can start exploring this land, and let yourself be carried away by the sounds of nature and discover why so many monasteries were built here in search of peace.

    Located in the south of the province of Lugo, 10 kilometres from Monforte de Lemos and less than 40 kilometres from Ourense, Aurea Palacio de Sober opens the Ribeira Sacra to you and invites you to explore its unique landscapes with gravity defying vineyards, viewpoints so that you can admire its vastness, and rivers that flow through canyons in unexpected ways.
