Self catering El Descanso del Monje for 8 people

At 400 metres above sea level, under the gaze of Monduver and the fresh Mediterranean breeze can be found this beautiful area, known for centuries as the valley of the Sorcerer. It was here in La Drova that the Cistercian monks from the Monastery of Santa Maria del Valldigna in 1723 built what is known today by the local community as the "Houses of La Drova" which were originally conceived as a rest and shelter for the peasant farmers and draft animals that worked the surrounding land. In the nineteenth century as a result of the confiscation of Mendizabal, the property passed into the hands of two families from the Xalo area from which we, the present owners have over a number of years lovingly restored it, so that others can feel and experience the history through its walls, arches and beautiful landscapes.

La Drova stay
My family and I stayed a month in La Drova and enjoyed the beautiful view from Monkshaven. Pepe was a very gracious and attentive host. We hope to come back here some day.

Lugar muy tranquilo
Núcleo rural, en un valle rodeado de montañas. Restaurante al lado pero no hay tiendas, hay que comprar todo a dos kilómetros. La casa bien, patio muy bien acondicionado. El tresillo está para cambiar. A quince o veinte minutos de Gandía, pero a cuatrocientos metros de altura, aire limpio y sano, rodeado de bosques. Te despiertas escuchando los gorriones.

Le calme au soleil
Le contact a été parfait avec le propriétaire, rapide. La maison était impeccable, spacieuse et fraiche grâce à ses murs très épais. Les ventilateurs faisaient du bien la nuit. L’endroit est calme, au milieu de magnifiques montagnes, à 20 min de la mer. Les repas dans le patio ou les soirées sous les étoiles sur la terrasse surélevée étaient top! Tout le nécessaire était présent, rien ne manquait. Rien à redire Olivier
