CASA CABRIEL offers the possibility of renting room-by-room or, where preferred, the whole house can be rented. It is a new building (from the year 2000) located in Villargordo del Cabriel, the westernmost area of the Utiel-Requena region. The municipality borders Castile-La Mancha along the Cabriel River, which is its natural border and over the ages has been populated by Iberians, Romans and Moors. Nature is the main ingredient of this area and shows itself in all its splendour, particularly in the Contreras reservoir with its bridge that dates back to the mid 19th century. The Cabriel River has severely eroded the land to form gorges, water sources and great contrasts in the countryside between harsh and luxuriant landscapes.
CASA CABRIEL can house up to 8 guests, distributed into 4 bedrooms, all double and with disabled access. All rooms have a full bathroom and television.
Apart from accommodation, guests are provided with the following facilities:
- Kitchen with microwave.
