Casa Aldomar 

We were not sure what to expect from the casa Aldomar when we booked it. It’s a small and friendly hotel and the owners couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. We struggled with trains from the airport when we arrived and Ian arranged a last minute late check in and helped give directions on the trains and once we eventually arrived in the town. We were not disappointed, the room was exceptionally clean, and the air conditioning was a must. It was still 34 ish degrees in the day so a welcome return to the room. We had a room on the top floor which came with access to the roof terrace from where you could enjoy the views of the castle and the cathedral. There was a mini bar fridge on the 1st floor if you fancied a cool drink and you pay at the end of your stay, and the occasional beer/ coke was enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the town. Breakfast is not included when you book, but recommend it. There is get a full continental with tea as well as the traditional Spanish option of coffee, cereal and fruit. The host Ian would happily spend every morning chatting with us, talking about the history of the town, the area and offering suggestions for days out and places to eat. Make sure you visit the castle/ fort, and the hotel offer a walking route that you can follow to the castle via the Dove Cave. For us though it was the host Ian that really made stay for us, it has a real family feel to the hotel and felt so welcome. We hope to return to Xativa soon and without hesitation, we would book here again. Thank you so much for making our stay to Xativa so much more than we could have expected.
