“An early 19th century townhouse converted into a small hotel, in the ancient city of Riba-roja de Turia. Muralleta has chic social spaces, homecooked Mediterranean cuisine and super-friendly staff, all just a stone’s throw from some of Valencia’s key Visigoth sites”

Hotel review

A half-hour drive from Valencia and connected to the city by train, Riba-roja's main claim to fame is the relatively recent discovery of several Visigoth archaeological sites – including the Palace of Pla de Nadal, now a museum. Hotel Muralleta sits close to the banks of the River Túria, which also gives its name to the surrounding El Túria Natural Park.

Guests are greeted in a spacious, design-forward lobby, smattered with nature-focused prints, smart lounging chairs and coffee table books. Though somewhat simpler, the rooms are thoughtfully prepared, featuring pale exposed brickwork and comfortable beds, shuttered windows and mini-fridges – plus tubs and toiletries in the bathrooms.

The breakfast buffet is served in a dining room with lovely views over the surrounding landscape, and might feature anything from fresh fruit to a home-cooked tortilla omelette
