The hotel
A charming hotel, Casa Valero is an old stone rambling
house from the 18th century which has been restored and
refurbished. It is located in Jarque de Val,
a village at the foot of the Sant Just mountains. Jarque de la
Val is at the exact geographical center of the province of Teruel
and it is conveniently connected with Saragossa, Madrid, Valencia
and Catalonia.
The surrounding area is extremely quiet. In fact, it has been
evaluated as a "white zone", a distinction
awarded by the Ministry of Infrastructures to those areas where
no accidents have taken place over the last five years.
The hotel consists of 8 rooms with en-suite bathroom.
The rooms have been decorated and furbished with antiques so that
the house completely retains the flavour of the past, while at
the same time offering the comfort of a modern hotel.
In charge of this project we find Francisco Fernández
and Alicia Valero. This married couple decided to recuperate the
old family rambling house and, through its restoration, to contribute
to the sustainable development of this land and its people, by
providing the area with a highly needed quality accommodation.
The
location of Jarque de la Val makes Hotel Casa Valero an ideal
place for discovering the main attractions in the province of
Teruel: the cave paintings and the natural surroundings
of the Cultural Park of the river Martín, the fossils and
dinosaurs in Dinopolis, the breathtaking rock formations in the
Geological Park of Aliaga, or the stirring music of the Easter
celebrations in Bajo Aragón.
The peace and beauty of its surroundings, which
are still preserved from mass tourism, make this the perfect place
for a “retreat to nature”. It is also the starting
point for exciting hiking paths, horse rides and bicycle rides.
