The village of Anna with its 3000 inhabitants is a hive of activity in summer. Music and fiestas and people like to live outside. Typical Spanish life awaits you. Very nice neighborhood and gentle tourism.

In Anna you can buy everything you need for your daily needs. A bus runs several times a day to Xativa (except at weekends) and via the neighboring villages and these are also wonderful for exploring and hiking and also with many swimming opportunities lagoons waterfalls lakes. Tuesday market in Chella about 3km walk along the water.

Xativa is a historic old town with a lot of culture. There is also the train station to Valencia (50min) or to Alicante (1.5h) a visit to the famous castle is very worthwhile. There is a tourist train going up and beautiful hiking trails around are also in the unique nature.

mountain biking. Bring your bike with you and it can be safely parked in the courtyard of the accommodation. Mountain bike rental also available on site by arrangement as well as canyoning. Waterfall excursion with professionals and abseiling.

Very nice, quiet place, typically Spanish, beautiful landscapes, possibilities for excursions and hikes, also by bike. Interesting painting offer, also light yoga exercises on the beach. However, it is much too far to the beach: you need a car (around 50 km). The beach is quiet, clean, the water is very clear, warm and clean. Possibilities to get to Valencia by public transport, travel time around 2 hours in total (bus and train). The cost of travel is cheap. You can also visit the smaller town of Xativa (15 km away) and take a hike from there to the castle, which is up in the mountains. Xativa has a historic district at the top and an interesting old town. However, months of July and August are not very favorable because of heat up to 44°. Living requires an openness and tolerance to homeowner, other participants, pets and local conditions. If you want to be more private and alone, it may be too crowded for you. The whole offer is quite in line with the price.
