Our Morrocan style home

We live in El Vedat de Torrent, a beautiful old residential area with lots of chalets and large plots. 

El Vedat is known for its pine trees. Our suburb is situated at the edge of the ‘campo’ (countryside), where you can smell the blossom of citrus trees in spring

We are just 8 minutes from the hustle and bustle of the Torrent city centre, (a city of 80.000 inhab) where you can find everything you  need.  

By car its 20 mins to Valencia city, Spains third largest city, a city on the beach:

The  famous 'city of Arts and Sciences' by architect Calatrava might be the highlight of your visit there. 

You can also go cycling through the Turia park, 

eat Paella for lunch, 

visit the CAHH art museum, 

visit the the Oceanographic Aquarium, 

go shopping in Calle Colon/ el Saler centro comercial/ Bon Aire or Aqua shopping centre. 

There are movie theatres with movies in spanish or English (called VOCE= version original). 

Or just relax at one of the many beaches along the loooong coastline.

Another trip would be to do a wine tasting in the vineyards  surrounding Utiel/Requena

Or a tour to a citrus farm to discover everything about oranges and lemons and their history in this area.

Or visit /ride a bicycle in the rice fields around the lake Albufera, take a boatride across the lake and eat paella in el Palmar.

And, dont forget Fallas, the biggest festival of Valencia from 15-19 March.

- Please be aware that the swimming pool is deep and not gated off. It is very important that children who cannot swim always wear  life jackets and are ALWAYS supervised when outside.

- For non-simultaneous exchanges with other pet owners, we kindly ask that you feed and hug our well behaved indoor cat Izzy (Blue Russian cat, low allergy risk) while we are away.

- For all exchanges we ask to love and water our well behaved :-) indoor plants and some plants in pots outdoors. There is an irrigation system for the larger garden.

- We have remodelled our home, however at this moment (July 2024) the kitchen doors are still in production in Marocco. Hence no doors on the kitchen cupboards yet :-)

- The swimming pool is saltwater and has specific requirements: the pool man comes every week in Summer to check the water quality and clean the pool.

-Please do not use glass/porcelain/crystal near the pool

-Our trusted cleaning lady (paid by us) could  come either the last day of your stay or after you leave depending on logistics :-)

-THIS HOME IS 100% SMOKE FREE

-No children under 5, as the house is not childproof, (cables, gate for the stairs etc) and there are no kids beds or high chairs
