Therese Sta. MariaLord of the Rings (LoTR) fans, assemble! If you’re planning to head to Spain, consider visiting the fishing town of Viveiro. Here, you’ll find hobbit houses nestled between the sea and the mountains, offering a rustic, charming, and countryside sanctuary, just as you imagine them to be.
The property, called Mi Tesoro (“my treasure”), features three hobbit homes that closely resemble the real-life hobbit holes built at Hobbiton in the heart of Matamata, New Zealand, where director Peter Jackson filmed both the LoTR and The Hobbit trilogies. Though Mi Tesoro has only three hobbit apartments compared to Hobbiton’s 44 hobbit holes, the cozy interiors of each apartment and its evergreen surroundings transport you to Middle-Earth all the same.

Inside the hobbit apartments of Mi Tesoro
Mi Tesoro’s three hobbit apartments have individual colour motifs of blue, yellow, and red. You can book any of the three for a romantic getaway and nature retreat at €200 a night. They all feature the same comfortable amenities such as the honeymoon suite, a homely living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and even a private garage.

Although one night alone comes at a hefty price, it’s going to be well worth every penny as the nature laden property allows you to indulge in memorable outdoor activities, such as horseback riding, paddle surfing, kayaking, river walks, and biking. Mi Tesoro describes its location as a special place rooted in nature where animals can coexist in harmony. Guests are even allowed to bring a maximum of two pets (just as long as they play nicely with the other dogs and horses in the property)!

Other Hobbit Houses around the world you can book
United States
Beyond Mi Tesoro in Spain and the “original” Hobbit Houses in New Zealand, there are other Hobbit-inspired stays around the world. One such enchanting hideaway is tucked into the mountainside of the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge in the U.S. This charming retreat, with its iconic round doorway and stunning views, offers a secluded escape up the mountain. As you approach the hobbit hole, the surroundings become more remote, with deer, rabbits, birds, and grouse as your primary neighbours, making it a tranquil, nature-filled retreat.
