A small-scale nature retreat in a quiet valley, half an hour from Valencia. From the moment you arrive, you hear the birds — and little else.
Cura lies hidden in a 25-hectare valley called Cañada del Cura, just outside the farming village of Godelleta. No pools, no crowds, no distractions — only olive terraces, pine forest, wild rosemary and a wide-open view of the mountains of Dos Aguas.
Whether you come alone, with a small retreat group or with your team, the valley gives everyone their own space, their own silence, and the quiet, safe feeling of a place where nature sets the pace.
Cura sits high on ancient agricultural terraces, looking out over an endless sea of green hills towards the mountains of Dos Aguas. Age-old dry stone walls hold the land together, olive trees shade the paths, and healing plants grow everywhere: wild rosemary, oregano and the carob tree.
The area is laced with walking and mountain-bike trails that lead you endlessly through the hills. Fifteen minutes away are the natural springs of Buñol, with waterfalls and caves hidden among the surrounding rocks.
Cura is fully off-grid, with its own solar power supply, and follows a philosophy of regenerative and restorative land stewardship. A food forest provides our vegetables and fruit, irrigated with stored rainwater. Guests eat what the valley grows.
Restoring the centuries-old terraces, planting native species and caring for the soil are part of daily life here — and guests are welcome to take part.
Cura hosts 8–10 guests across three characterful stays, spread out over the valley so that everyone keeps their own space and silence. For larger retreats, additional sleeping tents can be arranged.
The heart of the estate: a luxurious lodge with a large floating terrace above the hills. Two spacious bedrooms, air conditioning, a fine kitchen, a cosy wood stove in the generous living room, and an outdoor kitchen with a truly grand view.

A former barn, recently rebuilt into a luxurious home on a cool spot lower in the valley, under the pines and surrounded by olive trees. Spacious living room, fine kitchen and bathroom, terraces above and below, and a wood stove as its warm eye-catcher.

A cosy wooden tiny house on wheels with four sleeping places, its own bathroom and kitchen, and big windows that pull the landscape inside. Wake up in the middle of nature with nothing between you and the view.

Our own solar power and stored rainwater. A light footprint on an old landscape.
A working food forest and restorative land care, following permaculture principles.
Walking and mountain-bike paths straight from the door, deep into the green hills.
“No need to put any music on — the birdsong is orchestra enough, while the rabbits hop back and forth. The house has everything you need, and with so many windows the connection with nature continues indoors. Cosy and spacious at the same time. We already know we will be longing to come back.”
“The light changing on the hills, ants marching in a row, a bee collecting pollen from a flower next to me. Nature became a living organism I was a part of. Cura, hidden in the Valencian hills, gave me exactly the kind of space where that clarity becomes possible.”
“This place is pure magic. We were the very first guests to stay in the tiny house, and it was so healing. So grateful we found this gem — our new happy place whenever we need to disconnect and fully pause.”
