About THE HOUSE

An extraordinary house in El Cabañal neighbourhood

Built in 1932, this characterful home has been carefully restored to celebrate its original architecture. As an architect, I approached the renovation with great respect for its history, preserving its essence while introducing the comfort of a contemporary home and the subtle elegance of a boutique hotel.

Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of El Cabañal, the house is surrounded by lively restaurants, traditional bars and the local market. The beach and the marina are just a 5-minute walk away, and Valencia’s historic city centre can be reached in 15 minutes. The metro station is only 400 metres from the house, with direct connections to both the city centre and the airport.

This is our future retirement home — a place very close to our hearts. Until the day we move in permanently, we are delighted to share it with guests who wish to experience Valencia’s most authentic seaside district.

The property has been fully renovated and divided into two independent homes: R House and M House.

R House occupies the ground floor. Upon entering, you step into an open-plan living and dining area with a fully equipped kitchen, all facing the private patio. Large windows create a bright and welcoming atmosphere, making the patio a natural extension of the living space. An outdoor heater allows you to enjoy it comfortably throughout the year — although Valencia is blessed with very mild winters.

A staircase from the living room leads to a loft-style upper level with three single beds (190×90 cm), ideal for children or additional guests.

From the living area, a small hallway leads to the two main bedrooms. The first bedroom features a 160×200 cm bed and an en-suite bathroom with a shower. The second bedroom offers a 160×190 cm bed. A second bathroom with a bathtub is located next to this room.

LOVED the apartment, loads of lovely welcoming touches, highly recommend! Great tips on restaurants too! Cant thank Rafa enough.

Guest Reviews

I can not recommend this place highly enough. Rafa and his wife were the perfect hosts, they were constantly attentive and helped us with everything we could possibly need. They booked us taxis, advised us places to go, even helped us get to a paediatrician when our daughter was ill. The apartment is absolutely stunning and had more useful things than anywhere else I’ve stayed.

My friends and I did a tour of Spain and we all agreed that Rafa’s place was a highlight. It was spacious, stylish and clean. Rafa was a lovely host, and had lots of great recommendations for food and sight seeing. He was very responsive when we had an issue and he even made a dinner reservation for us as we didn’t speak Spanish! We loved the area and it was was only a few blocks from the metro. Highly recommend this place and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We have just returned from a great trip to Valencia where we were lucky enough to stay at Rafa’s lovely apartment in the old port district. It is not only well appointed and extremely comfortable but also conveniently located pretty close to the beach, Metro and a range of shops including the local market. The apartment was spotlessly clean and we were pleased to find a variety of essentials, snacks and a bottle of wine to make us feel welcome on arrival. Rafa is an excellent host so if you are going to Valencia anytime in the near future we would recommend his apartment without hesitation.

What a place this is! It’s in a great local neighborhood and only a ten-minute walk from the beach. The place itself is stunning. Rafa met us and showed us around, gave us a great Valencia guide to the city that his wife made herself and answered all our questions. The flat itself had all the amenities and more. Nice welcome food and beautiful little touches all along the way. This place feels like a home, not a typical airbnb rental.
