TRADITIONAL VALENCIAN ARCHITECTURE  

Set within a small country estate on the edge of the locality of Marxuquera, some five kilometers from lively Gandía and eight kilometers from the seaside, this pretty little three-star hotel has been constructed in a manner that respects the original building’s traditional Valencian architecture yet offers all manner of modern comforts and facilities. These include air-conditioning and heating throughout, as well as efficient insulation, wiring and maintenance systems.

The main building, which stands tall in the midst of its grounds, covers a built area of 520 square meters, providing space for four spacious and luxurious suites, and a variety of stylish public areas, such as the lounge and dining room, a library, piano room and entrance hall. All is set within 2.000 square meters of grounds made up of tall, mature trees, well-kept lawns, pathways and private little corners in which to retreat and relax. The overall ambience is one of peace and tranquility, overlooking a typical Valencian landscape of orange groves framed by tall mountain ridges.

The drive winds through tall trees before reaching the forecourt, setting the tone as you enter the property with its sensually molded Spanish white-plastered walls contrasted with terracotta tiling. Inside, the style is both elegant and authentically Spanish, opulent and welcoming. The hotel’s four suites offer space, style and comfort, each comprising a large bedroom area, a private sitting lounge and a luxuriant bathroom. Outside there is over 200 square meters of terrace, ranging from the large rooftop terrace to private little nooks from which to soak in the sun and enjoy views over the expansive countryside, of which 1,500 square meters of orange grove belongs to the estate.

This island of rural peace, beauty and bliss belies its proximity to the lively resort of Gandía, one of the most popular in the province of Valencia. Also nearby are the long sandy beaches of the Mediterranean, with a lovely coastline that stretches southwards towards the rocky cliffs and coves of a protected nature reserve followed by stylish resorts with golf courses. Inland are pretty white villages and mountain scenery, while a motorway brings the chic, pulsating city of Valencia to within easy reach.

A stylish, established small hotel in an excellent location, this property includes both the orange grove and a separate three-bedroom house for management use or for possible conversion to further suites.
