History

Chef Pepe Vieira (Xosé T. Cannas) was born in Vigo in 1973. In 2002 he received the Award for Best Galician Chef and in 2004 joined the teaching team at the Galicia Higher Hospitality Center. Founded by the chef in 2003, Pepe Vieira has evolved from a modest coastal restaurant to become a temple of Galician gastronomy with two Michelin stars, also winning the coveted Michelin Green Star for sustainability. The restaurant takes its name from the chef's grandfather, whose nickname honors the scallop, sacred to Galicia's maritime heritage.

Architecture & Design

The hotel consists of 14 independent suites called "galpones," each identical in structure and design: elegant white cubes with large windows bringing the outside in, and minimalist Japanese-inspired interiors with tatami-style bed and completely black bathroom. Located at the top of the winding Camiño de Serpe, Hotel Pepe Vieira is surrounded by dense sequoia forest with views over the Pontevedra Estuary. The setting is relatively isolated, surrounded by forest in the Galician coastal countryside.

The Surroundings

Galicia

Pepe Vieira is located in a strategic position in Galicia, overlooking the Rías Baixas and the Pontevedra Estuary. The surroundings of sequoia forest and coastal countryside create an atmosphere of total disconnection. The Rías Baixas are famous for their exceptional seafood, especially the oysters, mussels, cockles and percebes that inspire the restaurant's cuisine. Sanxenxo and the Pontevedra coast offer beaches, coastal trails and the maritime heritage that defines Galician identity.
