We are a young family who run El Colmenar: my wife, my youngest son Simón (who introduces the house to our guests ;-)), and myself. We are in love with nature, the world of beekeeping, and everything related to the rural world. I love sports and adventure, celebrations or events with friends and good conversations, but also healthy living, tranquility, and free meditation. Chóvar offers all this and more. It makes me happy to know that our visitors feel comfortable in our facilities and to see how, sometimes, our guests form friendships, making their stays extremely fun and rewarding.

The house can accommodate more than 6 people (see capacity information), and as you can see, its rooms are made of rodeno stone that form large stone arches built by the ancients several centuries ago. The house was completely renovated in August 2022, equipping it with everything necessary to fully enjoy it, both for short and long stays. It is very spacious, with large rooms, including a fitted wine cellar. It is the ideal place for couples' getaways. The main feature of this home, apart from its ample private and communal spaces, is that it functions as a great temperature regulator. Thanks to its architectural design, based on insulating rodeno stone, it maintains low temperatures in the summer and warm temperatures in the winter. The house has a private parking space and public parking next door. My family, founders of this house in 1860, have always been dedicated to the countryside for their livelihood, and in particular to the world of beekeeping. Hence the name "El Colmenar" and the entire theming of the house, original and unique, which makes staying there a truly unique experience. For more information, find us at elcolmenar. The town also has an Olympic-sized swimming pool with a bar/cocktail bar, ideal for spending the day with family, friends, or your partner. It's the one pictured in the description. There's also a private plaza right in front of the accommodation where you can have a snack, dinner, or just relax. Contact us to learn more! Nighttime hiking trails are available along the road toward Eslida, the neighboring town in the mountains. This involves climbing up the mountain pass, where you'll hear the roar of wild boars, the owl's call, or even come across a fox. This nighttime route passes by the Carboneras picnic area, an idyllic spot in the middle of the forest for spending time with friends and family! The accommodation is located halfway between the two major provincial capitals.

What makes Chóvar special are its rugged mountains, ideal for all types of adventure and mountain sports. It's also popular with naturists and photography and meditation enthusiasts who choose this mountain range to connect with nature, find peace, and disconnect, ideal for urbanites! (It's located just 60 km from Valencia). The forests hide magical trails and paths of great natural beauty and breathtaking views, ideal for hiking or running. The villagers are very friendly and welcoming. It's not surprising that some of them offer to act as Chóvar guides and show our guests every corner of the village. There is a bar in the village center and another at the Chóvar Olympic-sized swimming pool, a meeting point that welcomes numerous visitors in the summer from the surrounding villages. There is also a restaurant at the entrance to the village with a wide variety of cuisine. We have a private square in front of the house, next to the church, where you can have a snack, dinner, or "get some fresh air." Contact us for more information! There's also the option to play guiñote, dominoes, or even poker with the locals at the bar! You just have to overcome your shyness and ask them! FREE PARKING IN THE CHURCH SQUARE. THE HOUSE IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
