About this property

Self catering El Descanso del Monje for 8 people

At 400 metres above sea level, under the gaze of Monduver and the fresh Mediterranean breeze can be found this beautiful area, known for centuries as the valley of the Sorcerer. It was here in La Drova that the Cistercian monks from the Monastery of Santa Maria del Valldigna in 1723 built what is known today by the local community as the "Houses of La Drova" which were originally conceived as a rest and shelter for the peasant farmers and draft animals that worked the surrounding land. In the nineteenth century as a result of the confiscation of Mendizabal, the property passed into the hands of two families from the Xalo area from which we, the present owners have over a number of years lovingly restored it, so that others can feel and experience the history through its walls, arches and beautiful landscapes.
