Accommodation
Seven rooms in the hills above the coast.
Sella · Alicante · Comunitat Valenciana
A high-performance base for climbers, cyclists, and remote professionals. Opening (anticipated) late 2027.
The experience
Not just a place to sleep.
Casalvia is designed around the rhythm of the purposeful traveller — early starts, long days in the mountain, and the deep rest that follows. Every detail, from the quality of the mattress to the speed of the Wi-Fi, is calibrated for people who take both their adventures and their recovery seriously.
The building sits in the heart of Sella, a village perched at 430 metres in the Aitana mountains. Step outside and you are minutes from world-class climbing crags, mountain cycling roads, and trails that wind through limestone and wild sage. Step back inside and the noise of the world falls away.
The rooms
Seven rooms, small by design and fitted without compromise.
Seven en-suite rooms, three on the first floor and four on the second. They are compact, and that is the point. Rather than fill space, we have fitted every room with care, so what is there is exactly what you need and nothing you don't. Rooms open (anticipated) late 2027. Follow the journal or reach out to stay informed.
First floor
Three rooms, all facing the Plaça Major, with the church tower framed in the window. One has a slightly smaller, cosier double bed, well suited to solo travellers or a snug stay for two. Another has full step-free access, so the house stays open to everyone. All are unhurried, and closer to the morning light and the sound of the square than anywhere else in the building.
Second floor
Four rooms a floor higher, where the outlook opens up and feels a little more elevated. Two look out over the Plaça, one has the best of both worlds, over the square on one side and the mountains on the other, and the fourth turns fully to the mountains, with the ridges of the Aitana beyond. That last room has a deep bath and a larger bathroom, for the kind of long soak a day on the rock or the road tends to earn.
In the building
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Breakfast
A daily breakfast served in the ground floor breakfast room, facing the Plaça Mayor. Local produce, unhurried pace.
Adventure Hub
Secure, dedicated storage for bikes, climbing gear, helmets, and ropes. Easily accessible from the street — so you can leave early and return late without disrupting the house.
Work & Connect
A quiet coworking corner with high-speed mesh Wi-Fi throughout the building. Designed for remote professionals who need reliability, not just connectivity.
Guest Pantry
Available on the first floor between rooms — a small fridge, a Quooker for instant hot water, and a coffee machine. For early starts and late returns.
Rooftop terrace
A small rooftop terrace with a plunge pool and a couple of loungers, looking out over the church tower and the mountains. Somewhere to cool off and slow down when the day is done.
Location
In the heart of the village. Walking distance to local restaurants, and minutes by car or bike from the climbing sectors and mountain roads.
Stretch & strength
A pared-back space on the second floor, part sheltered and part open to the air, with a few weights. For a warm-up before you head out, a stretch when you get back, or a light session on a rest day.
Who stays here
Climbers
Sella sits at the edge of one of Europe's finest sport climbing areas. Over 500 routes across multiple sectors, from beginner crags to world-class limestone faces — all within minutes of the front door.
Cyclists
The roads of the Marina Baixa are a cyclists' pilgrimage. Mountain passes, quiet inland roads, and legendary coastal climbs — with the altitude of Sella as a natural base for training and recovery.
Hikers
Trails leave straight from the village into the Aitana: the climb to the summit past old ice houses and mountain springs, the ridges above Sella, and gentler local loops. Limestone, holm oak, and cold water from the fonts along the way.
Remote workers & slow travellers
Fibre broadband, mountain quiet, and a village that keeps a slower clock. For focused work that sits happily alongside long lunches, unhurried mornings, and the occasional day that goes nowhere at all.
Project timeline
We are building this, step by step.
Casalvia is a project in development. We are partially self-funded and actively pursuing external financing, along with local, regional, tourism, and sustainability grants to support future phases. If you are interested in supporting the project in any way, we'd love to hear from you.
Project development
Property acquisition, architect selection, planning, and permit preparation. Currently in progress.
Permits
Licencia de obras and tourism licensing applications submitted and processed.
Renovation
Full structural and interior renovation of the 1950s building, bringing the rooms and shared spaces to life.
Soft opening
We aim to open our doors and welcome our first guests, finding the rhythm of the place and ironing out the details as we go.
Fully operational
The full casalvia vision, running as it should: somewhere to stay, a basecamp for time in the mountains, and an open door for anyone who would like to meet us, come for a coffee, and talk about an interior project or what home management could look like for their own place.
