A fantastic nice surprise in the middle of nowhere to disconnect from the interconnected world!
The hosts were fantastic and very friendly. They're both journalists who have travelled all over the world and we were very luckily to get to talk about common places my partner and I had lived or traveled to.
Javier is a super chef with many stories to entertain and recommendations of what to do in the region and where to eat beyond Castilla if you're a foodie!
The place is very dark and some may consider it kitsch and/or different, but the positive vibes of the hosts make it an unique experience!
Highly recommendable if you want to disconnect! go to a rural bar in "El Pueblo" where everybody knows everybody except you! but everybody is friendly and one enjoys oneself and nobody is hassling you because you're a foreigner!
The photos on the website are deceptive. We thought we were getting a stay in a renovated castle. Instead, this was a small local town the hotel was more like a flop house for backpackers
My wife and I, both in our mid 20’s, stopped here expecting a unique experience after seeing the photos. If you don’t expect too much luxury (or air conditioning), I promise you will be amazed. Javier and Malu are such friendly hosts who really go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
I would definitely recommend having dinner at their place (but make sure to notify Javier by breakfast). The 3 course meal we were served consisted of local ingredients and specialities and had wine and water included in the (very reasonable) price.
Javier’s English was really good and the advice he gave us on local bars and things to visit was very helpful.
I would definitely stay here again.
Experience of Spanish hospitality in Roman setting
We had an amazing experience. The location is a real cool Old Roman home. Very very Authentic. Javier and his wife are sweethearts. Javier is an amazing cook. The dinner he prepares are fantastic (extra charge). Breakfast (included) was Totally scrumptious. Javier is very very knowledgeable about his country. Parking is easy and Free. The bar few feet away sells ice. We all slept really really well.
Enlightening experience with English speaking host unearthing not only the local ruins but also the historic value of the surprisingly large village house in which you are staying. Comfortable and relaxing with excellent food. A real treat in local information and insights. The host having not only a knowledge of local history and tourism but also cuisine and is hands on in the kitchen preparing dishes from local areas and supplies. A little hard to find but go to Valarie.
On arrival go to the main square from here with the bar behind you and the church to your left shoulder you will be looking at the entrance of the calle with no 3 on your left-or phone ahead with an arrival time and you will be met in the square. Don't be tempted to follow a computer map.
Stayed at La Quinta de Malu in April5/ 6 2012 it was my husbands special birthday. Javier & Malu met us at the door. Our room very quirky and clean .From the moment we arrived we felt we were with very special people. To reach Valeira you drive through a beautiful canyon to the village. We felt as if we were with good friends dinner in there wonderful dining room is full of warmth not just from the open fire but from them and Mama who cooked the very authentic spanish cuisuine and made a big fuss of my husband on his birthday. We absolutely love this place and we felt as if we were leaving family when we left.
Hébergement assez atypique et baroque perdu dans la campagne ... accueil très sympathique ... cela vaut le détour....
Chambre très confortable ... peut être à changer le pommeau de douche

DECEPCIONANTE
La relación calidad-precio deplorable.
Es una casita bien apañada pero la limpieza brilla por su ausencia.
Los dueños, una pareja de periodistas que sacan un extra como hostetelos aficionados, son muy agradables siempre y cuando no te quejes de nada, porque si ocurre algún imprevisto no saben dar solución y todo son pegas a la hora de compensar los servicios previamente pagados y no prestados. El último día de estancia hubo un problema con la electricidad, lejos de facilitar unas velas, linterna o algo con qué tener iluminación en la habitación, nos indicaron que había un supermercado donde podíamos ir a comprar velas para iluminar la habitación hasta que el suministro eléctrico fuera restablecido (lo cuál iba a llevar varias horas). Como no había electricidad ni luz en el comedor, nos dijeron que había un bar en la plaza del pueblo donde podíamos cenar (por supuesto por cuenta de nuestro bolsillo, aún cuando teníamos la cena gourmet incluida). Lo más que ofrecieron fue, como un súper favor, un bocadillo.
A la mañana siguiente cuando íbamos a dejar el alojamiento solicitamos de muy buena fe el importe correspondiente a la cena no disfrutada, después de argumentar largo y tendido, aceptaron devolver una pequeña parte porque nosotros habíamos pagado la cena a través de Hoteles.com y ellos iban a perder dinero (hace 4 meses que espero hagan el pago). Eso sí, nos hicieron firmar una hoja de reclamación que usarían para cobrar del seguro los importes supuestamente reintegrados.
Los dueños, Malu y Javier, son de lo más atento que se puede encontrar. La cena, de 10. Platos de la zona muy bien preparados. Repetiremos, sin duda. La zona merece una visita con más tiempo. El exterior de la casa, perfectamente integrado en las viviendas que la rodean. Al entrar, su peculiar decoración te sorprenderá muy gratamente.
En definitiva, muy recomendable.
Un lugar digno de ser experimentado.
Tanto Malu como Javi, súper agradables y atentos. Estuvimos muy a gusto.
Lo mejor de todo, la cena casera con productos de temporada. Muy bien elaborada, muy rica. Y puedes repetir!!
Nos encantó.
Recomiendo para una escapada en pareja.
También puedes visitar a pie desde ahí el parque arqueológico romano de Valeria.
Muy recomendable.
Gracias por todo.
Un abrazo.
Un village en plein milieu d'une très belle nature avec un bar sur la place centrale
Une décoration insolite dans le gîte (casa rurale)
Accueil fantastique par un couple à l'écoute : belle rencontre
Llegamos a Valoria y al ver la casa por fuera no nos podíamos imaginar la exquisitez con la que está decorada por dentro. Nuestra habitación era como la de un cuento. Al tener esta suite vacía Malu y Javier nos hospedaron en esta última en lugar de en la que realmente nos correspondía sin ningún cargo adicional. Que decir de Malu y Javier, se desviven desde el primer instante para que tu estancia sea lo más grata posible. Su conversación es muy amena y su amabilidad es lo más. La cena una maravilla, con platos típicos de la zona a cada cual mejor. En esto hay que felicitar a Javier que es quien cocina. El bizcocho que nos preparó para el desayuno de 10.
Todo muy bien y sobre todo la comida muy buena. Cenemos mi chica y yo como unos reyes. Los dueños muy simpáticos y atentos sobre todo Javier que nos cuido como si fuéramos sus hijos. El desayuno con una torta casera deliciosa que hace Javier. Un 10
