Such a beautiful place to stay, lovely property and cute little village. The children loved the local Swimming pool and we enjoyed staying somewhere unique. The hosts who live upstairs in a separate property were really kind and friendly.

The Casa Rústica Mundo de las Abejas (World of the Bees Rustic House) is part of El Colmenar, a rural complex located in Chóvar, in the heart of the Sierra de Espadán mountain range. It comprises interconnected accommodations that can be booked together or in combination, depending on availability. Built in 1860 on large red sandstone arches, it preserves the history and essence of a family deeply connected to the land and, in particular, to the world of beekeeping, the origin of the project's name and identity. Its personality is inspired by the beekeeping world that gives El Colmenar its name and is expressed through three distinct areas: the bees, the beekeepers, and the bee-eaters. The Bee Room evokes the heart of the apiary and connects with the idea of ​​order, shared work, and a natural life. The Beekeepers' Room represents the relationship between humankind and beekeeping, uniting tradition, craft, and the connection with the hive. The Bee-eater Room adds a more colorful, wild, and natural dimension, enriching the overall experience with a more vibrant view of the surroundings. The entire space offers a unique themed experience, linked to the world of bees and the very essence of El Colmenar. This is not your average rural accommodation, but a place with its own identity, where family history, traditional architecture, and apicultural themes transform your stay into a distinctive and characterful experience. Located in a privileged natural setting, in the heart of the Sierra de Espadán mountains, the house is ideal for getaways, family or couples' gatherings, workshops, celebrations, and charming rural getaways. Its spaciousness and capacity to accommodate numerous guests allow for a comfortable, versatile stay connected to nature. Overall, Casa Rústica Mundo de las Abejas (World of Bees Rustic House) combines history, authenticity, and an original themed concept, offering rural accommodation with soul, deeply rooted in the land. 20 mins beach, 40 Valencia
We are a young family who run El Colmenar: my wife, my youngest son Simón (who introduces the house to our guests ;-)), and myself. We are in love with nature, the world of beekeeping, and everything related to the rural world. I love sports and adventure, celebrations or events with friends and good conversations, but also healthy living, tranquility, and free meditation. Chóvar offers all this and more. It makes me happy to know that our visitors feel comfortable in our facilities and to see how, sometimes, our guests form friendships, making their stays extremely fun and rewarding.
What makes Chóvar special are its rugged mountains, ideal for all types of adventure and mountain sports. It's also popular with naturists and photography and meditation enthusiasts who choose this mountain range to connect with nature, find peace, and disconnect, ideal for urbanites! (It's located just 60 km from Valencia). The forests hide magical trails and paths of great natural beauty and breathtaking views, ideal for hiking or running. The villagers are very friendly and welcoming. It's not surprising that some of them offer to act as Chóvar guides and show our guests every corner of the village. There is a bar in the village center and another at the Chóvar Olympic-sized swimming pool, a meeting point that welcomes numerous visitors in the summer from the surrounding villages. There is also a restaurant at the entrance to the village with a wide variety of cuisine. We have a private square in front of the house, next to the church, where you can have a snack, dinner, or "get some fresh air." Contact us for more information! There's also the option to play guiñote, dominoes, or even poker with the locals at the bar! You just have to overcome your shyness and ask them! FREE PARKING IN THE CHURCH SQUARE. THE HOUSE IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
