Casa Montana is a luxurious townhouse in the heart of Bocairent, a town which nestles peacefully in the Sierra Mariola mountains. Come and enjoy lush green scenery, pure mountain air and rural tranquillity alongside traditional Valencian cooking, bustling bars and award-winning beaches.
Recently renovated while retaining lots of original Spanish features, Casa Montana offers the best of everything. Its urban setting means you are within easy reach of local markets and excellent restaurants, and yet you are also surrounded by sensational countryside and just an hour from the coast. The house is around 100 years old, and you can feel a sense of history and grandeur as you enter. And with four bedrooms, spacious living rooms and two private terraces, it is the ideal holiday house for families and groups of friends, or for couples who want to spread out in complete comfort. Bocairent itself is a historic place full of cobbled streets, small squares and babbling fountains, not to mention markets full of mouth-watering local produce. And the surrounding countryside is a haven for a diversity of outdoor pursuits. Whether you want to relax or explore, Casa Montana is the perfect base.
Bocairent itself has plenty to offer, from restaurants and cafes to museums and its unique bullring (the oldest in Valencia) carved into the rock. Nearby, the Covetes Dels Moros (a group of caves made up of around 50 rooms with holes like windows) is well worth a visit, there is go karting available in Villena, and there are several water parks within a short drive. The countryside around here offers fantastic walking, cycling and rock climbing opportunities, as well as horse riding, hot air ballooning and micro-lighting. And if you enjoy a swim, there is a open-air pool in the town (open June to September), or you can swim at Pou Clar, a local beauty spot with natural rock pools only 10 minutes away. The blue flag beaches and lively bars of Gandia are only a 45 minute drive from Bocairent and there are other historic towns to explore, for example the university town of Alcoy and the amazing village of Guadalest, built entirely into a mountain.
