Description of this holiday home in Spain
Mas de las Melgues is located in the middle of the beautiful, unspoiled nature of Castellon near Culla. This is the place for lovers of nature and beautiful walks. The house is located on the edge of the beautiful area of El Maestrazgo, a wild, mountainous area with villages on rocks and overwhelmingly beautiful landscapes. It is also the land of the legendary El Cid who went to war against the Moors and after whom many villages are named. You will feel more than welcome at Mas de las Melgues. The friendly owner, who lives in Valencia city herself, can take care of everything for you: catering of delicious meals with fresh products from the region, a (walking) guide who can tell you everything about the flora and fauna or introduce you to with the typical products of the region: grape picking and process of making wine, cheese or sausages! But of course you also want to enjoy the lovely house, the owner loves antiques and that is reflected in the special decor.

Tip from La Taha
The owner of the holiday home organizes all kinds of activities to make your holiday even more pleasant, or more active, than it already will be. For example, only if you wish and indicate in advance (nothing is required), you can help with the olive or almond harvest, look for black truffles, or help with beekeeping. A food service is also available, everything homemade and prepared with great care using local products. The owner is proud of the beautiful surroundings and is happy to share (her knowledge about) the fruits of the land with you. In the summer, she can set up outdoor summer cinema sessions with cocktail service. Everything exclusively for your group. After booking you will receive the contact details of Ana (the owner) so that you can make arrangements with her about which activities you wish to undertake during your stay.
