Casa de galgos
Spain, Valencia, Relleu
1 house
With some animals
We accept small dogs, medium dogs, big dogs
Self catering
From Wikipedia you can learn that the city of Relleu owes its name to the uneven terrain and comes from a word in the Valencian language. You may also find out that Valencia is the home of the famous paella... But you certainly won't know that Casa de galgos, where I am inviting you to, is located in the old town of the town and is only 15 km away from the sandy beach and the sea. Nor will the Internet tell you that the house was built in 1890 by the Soler brothers (or at least that's what they said). Or the fact that one of General Franco's governors once lived here and left a few "little things" behind . Instead of Wikipedia, I will tell you all this. And a bit more: for example, that in the attic of the house we found treasures like those one from Atlantis. That we managed to save plenty of the original windows, doors and floors... and those floors which unfortunately could not be saved were replaced with marble from a nearby quarry. We completed everything with other items and gems from antique fairs to which we gave a second chance. And I will also tell you that from the windows of the house you will discover a beautiful view of the mountains and the ruins of the Moorish castle in Relleu.
I invite you to Casa de galgos so that you can taste the sweet peace of the Spanish countryside, Sobremesa with its slowness and freedom, a refreshing swim in the pool on the patio... or simply enjoy life to the fullest as you wish.
Host:
Andrzej
A Pole living and working in Warsaw, fascinated with Iberian culture for years.
"Casa de galgos" translates to "House of Greyhounds", which is related to Jędrek's passion for this breed of dogs - Ryszard and Cezary the greyhounds are his everyday companions. In his free time, he practices a lot of sports, is interested in Spanish culture, and is also engaged in interior design: - "Casa de galgos" is the result of his several years of efforts to restore an old tenement house, located in the picturesque mountain village of Relleu, a few kilometers from coast of the Costa Blanca.
"I hope everyone will feel at home here," Jędrek used to say when welcoming guests to "Casa de galgos."

It has approximately 700 m² and can easily accommodate 12 people.
The reconstructed tenement house is located in the old town with views of the castle ruins. Inside you can admire various gems that we discovered in the attic and at antique fairs. And on the landing of the staircase you may notice the swastika symbol left behind by Governor General Franco.

What will I eat?

The town is full of life - there is a bakery with a wood-burning oven, a fishmonger with freshly caught fish in Villajoiosa, a butcher producing cold meats and preparing places with a handicraft certificate, and a farmers' market takes place twice a week in front of the church.
And if that wasn't enough, in the town itself you can find about 10 restaurants and bars and 3 shops.

You can recharge your batteries with the Spanish sun while soaking in the pool. But you can also be tempted by offers to discover:
- a Spanish village with a maze of narrow streets, beautiful stone houses and steep hills,
- the center of the town of Relleu with a market square,
- ruins of a Moorish castle from the 11th century,
- La Torre Balde from the 17th century,
- Torre Valogna defense tower,
- La Garrofera beach and beautiful beaches located 15 min. expensive by car
- church of St. James with the oldest bells in the entire province,
- Chapel of St. Albert with a view of the city and surroundings,
- The Camino del Pantano de Relleu route - leads to one of the best-preserved treasures of Relleu: a 17th-century reservoir.
- Or maybe you want to see with your own eyes the place where the astreoid landed, which contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs? (The K-T Boundary)
- sports center with playing fields and gym (I have a gym entry card for guests)
- large city swimming pool with a paddling pool for children

- Concurs d'Alfàbegues (August; contemporary festival where people participate in planting and caring for plants/trees).

Reviews
Moja podróż to spełnienie marzeń, miejsce magiczne polecone przez znajomych ( już wiem, że było warto ich posłuchać)!!!! Dom urokliwy i bajkowy, basen w patio -petarda!!!, dom wyposażony we wszystko co potrzebne, materace wygodne, wysoki standard czystości (brawo!!!). Miejscowość Relleu klimatyczna, otoczona przecudownymi widokami. Blisko fajne atrakcje góry, sady pomarańczowe, migdałowce, ścieżki (ścieżka do starej tamy Paseo de Relleu-polecam) a nad morze 20 minut!!! Polecam wszystkim, byliśmy we dwoje ale już wiem, że wrócę tam z całą rodziną i znajomymi. Gospodarz bardzo kontaktowy i pomocny. Bardzo dobry kontakt
Wspaniałe miejsce. Dom urządzony w wysokim standardzie i bardzo klimatyczny. Przestronne pokoje, wygodne łóżka. Bardzo praktyczna kuchnia ze zmywarką i ekspresem do kawy. Patio z basenem cudowne. Bardzo czysto. Otoczenie piękne. Urokliwe górskie miasteczko. Cisza spokój i piejące rano koguty :). Wieczorem można wybrać się na kolację lub/i drinka. Jest restauracja i kilka barów. Smaczna kuchnia nie tylko hiszpańska.
