Monastery of San Clodio de Leiro

Monastery of San Clodio de Leiro, Religious complex turned hotel in Leiro, Spain

Monastery of San Clodio de Leiro is a religious complex in Galicia now operating as a hotel, featuring a church with three naves, two Renaissance cloisters, and a palace with Baroque facade. The 25 rooms were converted from former monastic cells and offer views across the surrounding vineyards of the Ribeiro wine region.

The monastery was founded in 1225 and later transitioned from Benedictine to Cistercian rule. It became a major center for wine production and influenced the development of the Ribeiro wine region.

The cloisters show traces of different monastic communities that inhabited the space over centuries and left their mark on it. You can see how various religious orders shaped the place through their own architectural choices and daily use of the rooms.

The complex sits near the Avia river and is easily accessible for visitors exploring the Ribeiro region. Modern amenities inside the historic stone buildings make for comfortable stays while experiencing the monastic setting firsthand.

A 15th-century stone bridge spans the Avia river next to the complex and shows how the region was historically connected. This structure was part of the old trade routes that shaped the local economy and movement of goods.
