El Buen Ocio Holiday Rental - Castelló de Rugat, Valencia

Miss Dancer

Lovely accommodation that is spacious, beautifully renovated and spotlessly clean. Our hosts Gail and Alan were very responsive and incredibly helpful with regard to any questions we had. Plenty to see and do in the surrounding area for a week's stay - and I definitely recommend taking the train to visit Valencia, which is a jewel of a city!

My partner and I stayed for 10 days we cannot state enough how wonderful it was. Definitely felt like a home from home, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Beautiful view from terrace, relaxing courtyard so peaceful.Absolutely everything is provided in the home ,and I mean everything!!!!!!!! The village is stunning like a movie set, everyone speaks to you and are so helpful. There is a great bakery, supermarkets ,local bars and restaurants all in walking distance.There are so many stunning beaches ,villages and towns within an hour to visit. Also we spent a night in Benidorm which is about an hour away and was €50 for hotel. So had the best of both parts of Spain. The food is amazing all home cooked and lots of places offer a choice of 3 courses and a drink for €12. The owners Gail and Alan were so kind and helpful, couldn’t do enough for us and great knowledge of this whole area. The perfect holiday will be returning very soon.Thanks again Gail and Alan.

Stayed here for 3 nights during a tour around Spain, and it was excellent.

The house is in a quiet street and has everything you would need from a holiday home. The owners, Gail and Alan, have thought of everything and the property is full of lovely, homely touches.

There is plenty of indoor and outdoor space, including a very nice roof terrace.

The village / small town has a few shops and supermarkets, and if you don't feel like cooking there are also a number of restaurants to choose from in the area.

Loads to do in the local area, whether you like country walks, historic buildings or going to the beach. Valencia is little more than an hour away.

This was a fantastic place to stay. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed, as well as the things we didn’t know we needed (like a juicer for the wonderful local oranges for example).
It was spotlessly clean and everything was in good working order and well maintained. It’s very tastefully furnished and decorated with lots of little touches that make it feel like a home from home. You can see the owners really care about making the property perfect for their guests.
The courtyard is exquisite and the roof terrace is lovely. Great view towards the mountains from up there. We were just disappointed we didn’t get time to use the barbecue (complete with paella pan).
We were slightly worried about air conditioning in the heat but the house stayed very cool and after a long day outside in the sun it was great to come home to a comfortable temperature.
WiFi is excellent.
Gail and Alan were the perfect hosts and couldn’t do enough for us. We really benefited from their local knowledge too.
In terms of the area, you do need a car as the house is in a small village, but it’s very well situated in terms of easy access to things to see and do. Only half an hour to the lovely beach at Oliva, for example and lots of walks close by if you like walking or hiking.
The village itself has a couple of supermarkets as well as a local butcher, baker and fruit shop.
We will definitely be coming back! Big thank you to Gail and Alan.

This is a beautiful place to stay. A Spanish house beautifully renovated and adapted.

It’s a traditional townhouse but with a great mixture of modern cons and authentic features. The pellet burner ensures a warm and cosy environment.

The kitchen is well equipped, modern but in keeping with the house.

The outside space in the house is exceptional for this type of property. A wonderfully spacious and traditional patio area for cooking , eating and relaxing. Also an upstairs terrace for enjoying the sunset with a beer!

It’s so well situated in a “ Spanish” town close to great bars and restaurants. All in all , “ magical”!

La casa es perfecta. Todo limpio e impecable.
Cuando llegamos ya habían encendido la chimenea de pelets y la casa estaba muy calentita.
La cocina tiene todo lo que necesitas y más para pasar tus días allí.
El patio y terraza enormes para una casa de pueblo. Vistas de las montañas impresionantes.
Todo nuevo y reformado pero manteniendo el espíritu de las casas de pueblo tradicionales.
