Villa in La Vall de Laguar for sale for 927.000 €

was originally the site of an ancient 12th-century Almohad settlement, which included a defensive tower (recently classified as an Object of Cultural Interest), erected on an outcrop of rock that was easy to defend and affording a view of the neighbouring fortresses: the castles of Atzabaras, Pop, Orba and Denia, with the coast beyond; on a clear day the island of Ibiza is visible.

Alongside this tower the 17th-century Mallorcan settlers built the farmstead now known as La Casota, to which a number of auxiliary constructions were added over the course of time: the "Riu-Rau" or typical arcade-fronted building for drying raisins; the "Casa de la Era" or Threshing-Floor House; the "Estufa" or Stove, where the raisin-drying process was continued on rainy days. The whole complex has been restored and refurbished for the use of guests as follows:

The “Riu-Rau”

An old porticoed construction originally designed for storing raisins overnight, refurbished and divided into four separate double rooms each with individual access to the garden.

Each room has a full en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and heating, hair dryer, TV if required, pure cotton linen, etc.

The Casa de la Era has two reception rooms, one with a fireplace and the other -originally the stable- converted into a sitting-room and bodega with wood-burning stove. It also boasts a small library and the dining-room with magnificent sea views.

The “Estufa”

Refurbished as a separate two-storey house, it has a fully equipped kitchen, a sitting-room with a wood-burning stove, a Moorish oven and barbecue outside, TV, etc. (capacity for 6 to 10 people).
The “Estudio de la Torre”

Built close to the Almohad tower, this studio-apartment has a double bedroom, a full bathroom, a sitting/dining-room with a wood burning stove and sofa bed, a kitchenette and a veranda.


Communal areas

Guests may enjoy the garden, with magnificent sea and mountain views, and the porticoed fountain-washhouse with goldfish.

Meeting room with a capacity for 18 people

Therapeutic swimming pool with solarium overlooking the sea.

In addition, the house is surrounded by land devoted to ecological agriculture: almond trees, cherry trees, olive trees, carob trees, vegetable gardens, chicken runs, etc.

Wifi area

There are a number of restaurants within less than ten minutes' walk from the house, while in addition the area offers plenty of opportunities to sample the excellent local cuisine, including a wide variety of rice dishes.
