Rayo del Sol Retreat is a unique, peaceful paradise nestling in a rural valley 850 metres up in the Valencian mountains at the end of a dirt road.
The spacious villa boasts a large fully fitted kitchen and living room , with wood burning stove, three bedrooms, a spacious terrace shaded by grape vines and a large roofed terrace; all sitting in 2770m2 of grounds with almonds, olives and different types of fruit trees, wildflowers and herbs, pine trees, swimming pool,...
Solar panels supply sustainable electricity; hot water with a diy solar system & gas. The water comes from a nearby spring, so you can drink pure spring water straight from the tap. We also collect rainwater. At the moment, the silence of the retreat is unbroken by mobile phone noise (cell phone coverage at 1 km), though fast & reliable wifi is available.
In the surrounding you find mountain forests, orchards and vineyards.
For star gazers, the Milky Way twinkles in night skies, giving opportunities to observe more using the villa telescope.
Hikers and cyclists are free to explore the quiet roads, tracks and paths leading up into the mountains or down towards the flatter coastal land.
Ancient Moorish routes over historic bridges, riverside walks, boat trips to river caves, wild swimming and even winter skiing are all accessible from Rayo del Sol.
Typical Spanish bars and restaurants abound in nearby mountain villages of Andilla, Artaj, Oset,.... Chelva in particular is steeped in history and famed for the “ruta del agua” walk, whilst children can enjoy the play area at Molino Puerto, and adults the friendly bar where you can enjoy delicious, authentic Valencian paella, cooked over an open fire! Further along the river, swimming is enjoyed from a beautiful river beach at La Playeta.
Rayo del Sol has a beautiful hiking trail through a gorge that leads to the village, about 3 km away, providing a pharmacy, supermarket, bank, bars and restaurants, plus a weekly Wednesday market in the town square.
A typical Spanish meal cooked from fresh local produce and washed down with wine from a nearby vineyard is surprisingly good value and delicious.
The hot Spanish summer climate is tempered here in Alcublas by refreshing mountain breezes, with sunshine in winter and little rain, thus giving a very inviting climate both summer and winter.
Valencia, our regional, coastal main city is only a 45 minute drive from Rayo del Sol. This elegant city is well worth exploring for its mix of ancient and modern architecture. Visitor attractions are diverse from an impressive aquarium, renowned science museum, zoo and waterparks to the “Mercat Central” daily market.
Outside Valencia lies El Saler, a 6 km long white sandy beach and dunes, together with “Parc Naturel la Albufara”, a large unspoilt nature reserve. Both can be explored as a joint day out.
The most magical and energising part of Rayo del Sol Retreat is the tranquillity and peacefulness of the villa, set in a beautiful natural landscape, which gives the ideal opportunity to recharge mind and soul, before returning to a busy world.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
