Maria’s home is elegant and welcoming, lovely and warm, and she is a caring and excellent host. My visit was marked by peace and privacy, books and conversation, candlelit breakfasts with pots of tea and home-cooked porridge, eggs, toast, and fruit. The room and bathroom were spacious (tub a wonderful bonus) and Maria’s graciousness and flexibility made her house a home away from home.
Having parking was a plus, but Galway is a walkable town and the west end and the sea are an easy amble if you come without a car.
If she has room, stay and enjoy a historic town from a glorious perch.
