We rent an exceptional house, which is unparalleled in Valencia's beach and waterfront "Cabanyal".
Here an article from February 2020 about Cabanyal:

A small oasis in the heart of one of the most beautiful and interesting areas of Valencia, just a 10-minute walk to the large city beach.
In the walls of a typical harbor house of the 20s, we have implemented with much time and attention to detail our personal dream of a holiday home and are now looking forward to being able to offer it to other lovers of the style "small but beautiful".
The house was carefully renovated with much respect for the original structure and provided with the comfort of our time. Here you can relax for two on 60 square meters of living space and 55 square meters of green backyard and enjoy.
In the winter months, underfloor heating ensures pleasant temperatures, in summer air conditioning cools the air to the desired temperature. Kitchen, dining, living room and bedroom are loft-like connected. The ceiling height of a maximum of 5.50 meters creates the impression of enormous spaciousness. The floor to ceiling windows are all open as double doors and let the light flood through the living room. Thanks to the internal shutters, the entire living space can also be completely darkened.
The separate bathroom has a large rain shower which is barrier-free and offers a special spa experience. In addition to the usual bathroom equipment, there is also a bidet. Hairdryers and towels are available for use.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious food (perhaps with fresh ingredients from the nearby market), including an induction hob, dishwasher, fridge and separate freezer.
The living room area is very cozy and the sofa, especially in winter, is the perfect place to let yourself be greeted by the almost always visible Valencian sun through the windows. Here you can spend evenings in front of the TV and the Movistar streaming offer (included in the price, including international films and TV series), or use the local television. The high-speed Internet connection also allows private streaming services (such as Netflix) in the best quality. Of course, the Internet is also available via Wi-Fi for the use of devices brought along such as mobile phone and computer.
A special highlight of the house is the large, partially landscaped backyard, which is aligned to the south side. Handmade terracotta tiles surround intricately planted beds. Here you will find local and exotic plants, as well as culinary herbs and one or the other edible fruit. The plants provide a pleasantly fresh microclimate, which makes the hot summers in Valencia much more bearable. If you like, you can lay down here in the sun and then cool off under the outdoor shower.
The courtyard also has an outdoor kitchen with beautiful, also hand-made tiled wall, marble basin and large worktop. The fireplace can either be used for a normal barbecue or to prepare a paella (original paella pans are available).
On the back wall of the yard is a large cupboard, where washer and dryer are housed. Next to the cupboard hang our bikes, which can be used by all tenants unrestricted in the entire urban area and environment during the stay (an extra rent at one of the many bike rentals thus omitted). Since Valencia has a very well-developed network of cycle paths and the large city park Turia is best "experienced" by bike, we strongly recommend to use this offer! (We maintain the bikes regularly. Nevertheless, the use of course at your own risk).
House and yard are at ground level and largely barrier-free, so that even older guests should get along very well.
We have just completed the complete set up and equipment of house and yard. You will therefore find everything in a very new condition.
For a stay of several weeks, there is the possibility, once a week, free of charge of a cleaning service by our helper on site (basic cleaning, change of bed linen etc). Please let us know when booking if you want to use this option!
We look forward to you.
