Enjoy sampling the owner's home made produce including first press extra virgen olive oil from their own olive groves.
Go for early evening walks as the sun goes down and meet our spanish neighbours who do this every evening in the summer.
Watch an authentic paella being made for you then enjoy it as you watch the eagles soaring overhead! - although we cannot guarantee this on every occasion!!!
For the more energetic play badminton on the games court or go exploring on the bicycles.
Explore the surrounding villages in this relatively undiscoved part of the real Spain.
Good road links to the surrounding area/beaches, including numerous local villages and historic Xativa with hilltop castle and great selection of shops and restaurants to suit every taste.
Unlike many other spanish towns it has a cosmopolitan feel to it although still very spanish but with a thriving theatre, various museums and art collections.
The Fallas in March is a large fiesta in Xativa and the August Feria is of national tourist importance.

Less than an hour from Xativa by train to the centre of Valencia.

Drive to the south of Valencia and visit the City of Arts and Sciences with its spectacular modern architecture
and superb recreational facilities.


The local village of Chella celebrates the Fallas in March and Moors and Christians in August.
There are many bars and restaurants in the village where you can enjoy the local atmoshere
The village of Chella has all amenities including supermarket, bakers, butchers, chemist, banks, bars and restaurants, with additional facilities in the neighbouring villages.

Have Sunday lunch in the neighbouring village of Navarres at a barbecue restaurant overlooking the dam and reservoir on the Jucar river.

A number of beaches can be reached within an hour with the choice of natural unspoilt beaches or Gandia with miles of wide sandy beach and watersport facilities.

Or why not visit the Albufera at Anna 15 minutes from the villa - a recreational area including boating lake and natural swimming pool with waterfall.

During the summer mix with spanish families at Antella where there is a weir across the Jucar river that has created a recreational area with picnic areas, bars and swimming in the cool river water.

“The place you always have been looking for” This year we visited Villa Nirvana by John and Jane Copland for the second time. If you are looking for a place to stay with quiet and beautiful surroundings, wonderful weather and a perfect place to relax and recharge, you won't find a better place than this. You have the advantage to have all the help and guidance you need from the owners and though you will feel 100 % privacy. Villa Nirvana is situated in an fantastic scenic area in the mountains with a beautiful panoramic view to the nearby national park. If you want to experience Spain, here you have the real Spain far way from crowded touristareas. When you have relaxed for a while and enjoyed the marvelous swimmingpool, there are a lot of intering cities and areas to visit. We just have to mention the nearby Xativa with the impressive Castle on top of the mountains and Valencia which has everything you could desire. You just want to come back when you have discovered this facinating place. Lise, Malene, Susanne and Mogens DK
