Mariola Secreta - Bed & Breakfast in Valencia
El Cipreret Poligono 8 Parcela 78, 46880 Bocairent, Valencia
Valencia,
España
Find comfort in this old Valencian farmhouse-meets architect designed eco-build. Generous rooms with views over the sierras retain the charm of the original stone walls and dovecote windows, with underfloor heating and walk-in showers. Miles from anything, the breeze and birdsong are the only sounds.
Start the day with Andrea's sourdough, bowls of Valencian oranges and olive oil from trees growing in the park. Hire one of the top-notch mountain bikes (Ben is a keen rider) and head out on miles of trails; keep your eyes peeled for griffon vultures. For lazy days, there's a big swimming pool overlooking the hillside carpeted with Aleppo pine.
There's plenty of space to spread out - fix yourself a drink from the bar in the living room, or sneak away to the snug with a book. Dinners are taken together at the table (made from the original farmhouse beams); expect Mediterranean and middle eastern flavours. Paellas are, of course, a staple.

Local points of interest from Andrea & Ben Dillistone:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Andrea & Ben Dillistone:
- With its unique flora and fauna the Mariola Natural Park is an area of outstanding beauty and one of Spain's best kept secrets. A hike up MontCabrer, the highest peak at 1390m for a birds eye view of the Valencia province and across to Ibiza.
- Explore the medieval village of Bocairent with its narrow winding streets, ice cave and bull ring carved out of the rock. The locals love a fiesta and there are many to choose from throughout the year including The Three Kings and Moors & Christians.
- The trails of the Mariola Park are perfect for cross country mountain and gravel bike riding. There are trails to suit all levels of skill and fitness and Mariola Secreta can offer you guided rides and bike hire (including ebikes).
- Swim in the crystal clear pools at local beauty spot Pou Clar. The mountain water is very refreshing even in the height of summer!
- If you´re lucky the Griffon Vultures, with their 2.8m wingspan, will soar over El Cipreret during your stay. Alternatively you can visit their colony (of around 100 birds) nesting nearby.
- The region of Fontanars del Alforins has many family Bodegas producing high quality organic wines. We serve several of them at El Cipreret. The rows of vines make for a stunning view and who wouldn't want to miss a wine tasting at one of the Vineyards.
