Hotel Spa Relais & Chateaux A Quinta da Auga  

Tucked on the riverwalk in Santiago de Compostela, this eco-luxury boutique hotel fronts the River Sar. About 3 km (roughly a 10-minute drive) from the old town, it's close to the University of Santiago de Compostela, Alameda Park and the Cathedral — perfect for culture seekers. Pet-friendly and spa-focused, it pairs riverside calm with easy city access.

A Quinta da Auga was rebuilt from an 18th‑century paper mill and sits on a verdant 1.5‑acre estate. The 51 individually decorated rooms mix modern comforts with historic bones — think memory-foam beds, Egyptian cotton sheets, heated floors and private baths with tubs and bidets. Expect birdsong, rushing water and leafy courtyards. The spa includes hydrotherapy and a Dead Sea flotation tank; spa access is for guests 16 and older. A seasonal outdoor pool opens in summer.

Standout offerings include a full spa with hydrotherapy treatments, a seasonal outdoor pool, fitness center, yoga area, sauna and steam bath. On-site extras run from a library and picnic area to concierge services, free Wi‑Fi and self parking. Pets are allowed, and the setting is ideal for a quiet, nature-forward stay.

Conference facilities include a business center and a conference center with multiple meeting rooms (five rooms noted). Complimentary wireless internet keeps meetings connected and event planning is supported on-site.

Restaurante Filigrana serves inventive Galician cuisine that blends traditional and avant‑garde flavors. Dine in the restaurant or alfresco with garden views and enjoy drinks at the bar. Breakfast service runs in the morning (commonly 8:00–11:00), and room service operates during limited hours. Note: Filigrana is closed Sunday evenings and all day Monday.
