This small, new, home from home, personally-run hotel is an absolute delight. An adult-only, get-away-from-it-all escape. Relax, be well-fed, take a yoga or cooking class, swim in the pool and walk or cycle to the beach. A real escape in a personal hotel which was once the family home.

As its name implies it is a house or should I say villa where you feel instantly at home and its ethos revolves around great gastronomy. In an urbanisation around ten minutes walk and a five minute easy, flat cycle ride to the beach (even for non cyclists like me), you have the best of both worlds. The sensation of a small, quiet, rural hotel and some great sandy beaches.

With only 5 bedrooms it’s impossible not to feel instantly welcome and at home. With lots of personal touches and lovely charming features. Relax by the pool or in the jacuzzi, explore the area and be very well fed on local dishes using local ingredients.

If you’re looking for a comfortable, friendly, welcoming escape by Gandia beach you’ll find La Gastrocasa very hard to beat.
