Mont Sant

Top choice in Valencia Province


Enthusiastic management makes for a wonderful stay at this enchanting place, set amid city walls, the ruins of a convent and palm and citrus gardens between the old town and castle. It feels way out in the countryside rather than just a few minutes' walk from town. Stay in the beautifully adapted main building or in a spacious, modern, wood-faced cabin.

All have balcony/terrace spaces and there's a suite with private pool. The restaurant serves upmarket gourmet fare and packages including meals are available. Don't leave without seeing the amazing medieval cistern.
