No need for a car! A stylish Rustic Escape in a distinct rural location!

For up to 5 people (or 4 adults plus 4 children) for 3-7 nights

(For this escape transport is not required. Guests have unlimited use of 4 bicycles and there are tram stations 1/2 km from house, with direct connection with nearby city of Valencia. Bars and restaurants are within easy reach.

Lead the lifestyle of an authentic Valencian farmer while enjoying a peaceful and comfortable stay in a converted 19th century alquería (a silk maker’s farmstead) in the huerta of Valencia (Europe’s largest agricultural plains). In ancient times, the cool sea breeze of the huerta dried silk and tobacco in these traditional Valencian homesteads.

Now you can enjoy the luxuries of a comfortable bed, a roll top bath air conditioning and wifi with an open fire blazing in the winter, while looking out over the orange groves and fields full of artichokes and in the summer, the chufa leaves sway like a sea of green when viewed from the terrace. Chufa or tiger nuts make a local milk called horchata which is a speciality of Valencia. Learn how this refreshing drink is made and enjoy it with a delicious pastry called a farton in an horchatería just across the fields.

Valencia is the home of paella. Have fun learning to make your own and opt to pick up some traditional Valencian cooking skills from one of the locals, who will show you where the rice comes from. Pick your own artichokes and beans to add from your garden while you cook the paella on your terrace.

Cycle the 20 km route around the huerta which runs along the ancient ´Camino del Cid´, a track that joined Valencia to Taragona, Burgos and Sopria, from Roman times. Or choose the flat one km country lane that leads across the fields to the beach and a busy bar full of bars, restaurants and a shopping centre. Or venture further afield into the mountains from where you can climb a rocky outcrop and enjoy spectacular views of the plains and sea.

Spend the morning on the sandy beaches that stretch either side of the city and the afternoon aboard a traditional eel fishing boat on the largest wetland in Europe. Look out for herons amongst the reeds trying to catch fish in the warm waters of the Albufera.

Catch a tram and explore the vibrant and historic city of Valencia or cycle to a country train station to catch a train to Sagunto, to see its amphitheatre and Roman walled citadel. Or visit the magnificent Moorish castle of Xativa and a local winery, amongst the orange groves of Gandía.

Take a relaxed walk at sunset (maybe with a donkey for company) or opt to spin over the local country lanes in a horse-drawn carriage, to explore the delights of the huerta and learn more about the rich history of this fertile land.

This is Valencia as few have seen it!

Fabulous stay!
Beautiful rustic house with such attention to detail, we would happily return. Great property management too and Ella and Lina really looked after us, rectifying a temporary issue with the drain even on a Sunday and getting us 2 more bikes which we really enjoyed using. Thank you guys, we loved our time in Valencia and reckon we’ll be back before long 😎

A true gem
Wife and I stayed for several days with our college-aged son and freind. They left for Barcelona a couple days before we did and regretted it. The house is clean, well located and decorated like a catalog. We had a car so getting to beach and city center was 5-20 minuntes tops. Kids rode bikes to beach easily. Pool is not traditional but exquisite given the summer heat we dealt with. AC is marginal but we bought and left several fans that made our stay confortable. The best VBRO experience to date.

Exceeded expectations
This house is full of character which reflects the ethos of Rural Escapes in their preservation and attention to detail of this property. They did everything possible to make you feel at home from the introduction to your neighbours and the local area within the welcome pack, the honesty bar, provisions in the fridge to bikes to use. The access to Valencia whether by bike on the cycle path or the nearby metro, the location of this property is perfect for a city , beach and rural break.

A True Getaway
The Farmhouse was perfect and we absolutely loved getting away in the Valencian countryside. If you are looking for a tranquil getaway, this is the place. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival and were provided with an amazing welcome basket full of treats. The house itself, while quite old, has recently been totally redone with tons of authentic farm antiques used to decorate. The bathrooms are especially posh with two lovely full sized tubs and an amazing walk-in shower which sprays from many levels. The house also has a nice garden and we were lucky enough to be there while the tomatoes and peppers were perfect. This place is a really short drive to the beach or about a 20-25 minute bike ride once you find the route and we had fun getting around on the bikes. We’d happily stay there again!
