Quick check

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.

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."

Miejsce magiczne, w którym czas płynie inaczej. Od lat nie udało nam się tego doświadczyć. Przecudnej urody klimatyczne miasteczko pełne kolorowych kamieniczek i mnóstwa doniczkowych kwiatów. Ryneczek, którego klimat jest cudowny i niedzisiejszy. A przede wszystkim przyjaźni (niezależnie od wieku) ludzie, zawsze radośnie pozdrawiający przechodniów. A wśród tych kamieniczek ta najpiękniejsza, urząd...
