Calle Sagunto
About the home
In an established city centre residential location just 5min direct walk to the imposing Torres de Serranos, entrance to historic City and its liveliest and the most cosmopolitan quarter of El Carmen.
Imposing 80's styled redecorated marbled tiled foyer leading to stairwell and efficient dual lift service. The apartment is located on the 5th floor of a smart & respectable well maintained residential purpose built block. Two double bedrooms located with windows on to an inner repainted lightwell, thus quiet with plenty of light albeit windows have full drop-down shutters for the night. Spacious light and comfortable south facing living/dining area through to large patio windows opening on to a most pleasant 'eye of the sun' balcony overlooking a wide and verdant Palm tree lined avenue. Fully equipped kitchen with plenty of storage space. Separate bathroom with full length bath overhead shower etc. Drying areas accessible via lifts to roof terrace. Map supplied and DVDs.
Closest proximity to Historic city for free 'on-street' parking - if with a car . N.B Valencia's historic city is impossible for public parking, notorious for tow-aways & hefty fines €200 plus. Central car-parks generally expensive once located ie;15€ plus nightly. N.B; City metro & buses finish early @23.00 - save money on taxis & time-wasting frustratingly long hot walks.

We were more than happy with everything, the helpful and welcoming host, the cleanliness of the apartment, the furniture, where the apartment is situated and all. The beds were also very comfortable. Trine and Nina, Norway |
Guestbook for Calle Sagunto
'Thanks ...for a lovely stay at your apartment last week, it was just right, quiet and comfortable and very convenient for town and for the metro just around the corner. We had a great time and liked Valencia very much....' Claire Elsdon, Hull, May 2008
'Hi David. We had a great time, we loved the apartment' Damiaan Winklemann, Nijamegen, Holland, Jan 2008.
We really appreciated your apartment and found it so comfortable along with the balcony that we spent more time then intended there. Laila and Thomas, Paris, Feb 2009.
Just to say we had a great time and really enjoyed our stay in Valencia at your apartment with its great comfy living room and balcony. Couldn't have been easier for the Historic city. Great supermercados nearby. Enjoyed the ease of getting to beach too. Stefan, Sweden March 2009.
Hi David.
We really enjoyed staying at your apartment during our stay in Valencia. We had one of our best holidays in your city. Tim Downing Denver, USA July 2009
Hi David.
.....a big thank you for our stay in the apartment in Calle Sagunto. It was clean and airy and we had everything we needed there. We liked Valencia a lot and found everyone friendly and helpful.....and we saw no other English people which was a bonus! It felt more like we were actually abroad and experiencing something different to home which is what we like.....Thanks once again for a great apartment.
All rhe best. Pat, England Oct' 2009.
David, We had a great time at your apartment and despite the cold weather we were pleasantly surprised by how much your lovely city has to offer. We took advantage of checking out Bonaire (reputedly Spain's biggest out of town shopping centre) which was easy to get to from your apartment and saved a small fortune! We found the night club scene lively and really enjoyed it....although they stay open so very late! We met many Italians who have chosen to live in the city...I can see why! We hope to be back later this year and meanwhile we will recommend your lovely place to all our friends. Marijana and friends Jan 2010, Sofia.
We had a great time both down at the beach and at the Hipca pool with its lovely shadey gardens. Your apartment was comfortable and very convenient for everything. Definitely recommend you to our friends etc.
Keiran and friends August 2010
We really enjoyed our stay at your lovely apartment and found everthing so very easy for getting about and good value too. Now that we've got to know the city we might very well consider coming back to do some outer-city exploring such as Xativa & Sagunto (Once important hispanic Roman towns - v.nearby) in the cooler months. James, Ireland Sept 2010.
Hello David.
Back in Holland where it is raining...
We have enjoyed very much spending a few days in Valencia. What a beautiful place to be!
And the apartment of course was perfect, close to the centre and everything we needed was there! ...the bed's were so comfortable that we wanted to take them home, that is no joke!
Thank you. Marijke Holland Oct 2010.
