Cases Noves is a traditional Alicante village house, that is now a home-from-home for visitors to the lovely Guadalest valley. From the front of the house, it enjoys wonderful views across open countryside right down to the sea. And of course, Guadalest itself is a picturesque village crowned by a castle atop a huge rock outcrop.
Care has been taken to retain the typical character of a village house, its wooden beams and sturdy stone walls, while endowing it with modern comforts. The lounge is a comfortable place to relax, with an open fireplace for the winter. There is a reading room where there is a computer for guests to connect to the internet (and wi-fi if you bring your own laptop), and a television room where board games are also available. Outside, the terrace has fantastic views stretching across the village, the Guadalest valley and the Mediterranean sea; a perfect spot for an evening aperitif before dinner.
The four double rooms and one single each make full use of the original features provided by the house's original builders, combining them with charming modern furnishings and facilities; full bathrooms with hydromassage showers, DVD players, flat screen tv's and air conditioning.
Thanks to Toni's efforts, the hotel has the best available walking information. Just choose your distance, time and level of difficulty and he will provide suggestions complete with a map, directions and even photos of the important waypoints.
Cases Noves doesn't have its own swimming pool but the local pool has a privileged location below the cliffs where it is to spend a pleasant day becoming a part of the village life. There is so much to see and do in Guadalest that you may never get round to travelling further.
Restaurant:
Six days a week, the dining room provides a traditional "menu de la noche" dinner, and the Special Saturday Dinner typically consists of 12 different tapas, followed by dessert and coffee. Ample breakfasts include juices, cereals, cold meats, bacon, eggs, toast, preserves, tea or coffee. What better start to the day than breakfast on the terrace, enjoying the sun as it climbs into the sky above the Mediterranean sea?Hover on a picture to pause the slideshow, click for a bigger photo
A Word From the Owner:
"The house is more than 70 years old (built in 1932), and although it has been restored, all of the original characteristics of a rural mountain house have been retained. It has a combination of solid stone walls, high ceilings, wooden beams, and stone floors, which are typical of the area. Whilst retaining its original charm, it has all the latest comforts that you would expect from a recently constructed establishment. With its situation at the edge of the village, all of the bedrooms have wonderful views of the sea and the Valley of Guadalest."Hotel Amenities:

What We Say:
This cosy village location with spectacular views will give you a holiday you will never forget. Meanwhile mine hosts Toni and Sofia are two of the nicest people you will ever meet and their attentin to detail is unsurpassed.Customer Feedback:
"Cases Noves was superb in every respect. Toni and Sophia's welcome was second to none (we agreed that a similar establishment in the UK would never have welcomed us so warmly given that we were travelling with two 2 year olds). The house was beautiful and Sophia's meals and Toni's service first class." C.A.
"We would thank Toni & Sofia for our 3 days in Guadalest. It was a great experience. Quality of the rooms, of the dinners, the atmossphere....In one word you've to try without hesitation !" M & C "We stayed in December and it was lovely. Toni and Sofia were not just the owners, they became like friends. The house is welcoming and very clean, with everything you need. The village is utterly charming and we were impressed by the model museum, the torture museum, the Casa de los Orduña, and the whole Christmas ambience that went through every corner of the village. 10 out of 10 (no, 12 out of 10!) for Sofis homely cooking. Its a perfect place to stay if you come to this area. P, X & C
"We could not have found an accommodation which pleased us more. Both the service and meals were 5 star. It was a pleasure to be with our genial hosts who provided a first class experience. The area is rich in history and repleat with fantastic scenery and walking paths is well worthwhile visiting. We have recommended to friends and hope to visit again someday." T.S.
"Cases Noves is everything Toni and Sofia say it is - a beautiful situation, a beautiful and comfortably restored house, personal and friendly service, excellent food and wine. What more could you want? - To come back as soon as possible. Don't miss the Saturday night Tapas." B. & D.
"Perched under a magical castle at the top of a long valley that sweeps between razor-backed mountains Cases Noves is a small hotel with lots of character. It’s beautifully decorated, with good facilities and excellent food. What really makes an impression though is the welcome and service provided by Toni and Sophia. It felt like visiting friends and we were very sorry to leave." K. & S.
"Cases Noves was a great base location for day trips with a car (80Eur/wk), cycling or hiking. Like an eagles nest the village is located between 1500m high mountains with dramatic stone formations and there are always the views to the sea. During the day the village is buzzing with day-visitors but when we returned in the evening to relax, it was very nice and quiet. Some nice unspoiled villages in the valley are scattered across the landscape of fields of olive, figs, orange and almong trees. "La Burrita" is a nice local tapas bar near the hotel, which is always good for a drink before you go to bed. Don´t miss out a walk in the Aitana mountains. Toni knows all the walks. He is a great advisor for your activities. Sofia does delicious tapas (12 course meal on Saturday) and the breakfast is great. This is highly recommended also for longer stays. You won´t be bored." O. & A.
"We had the most wonderful time in Guadalest. Certainly it is very stunning, but most enjoyable was our stay at Cases Noves. Toni and his wife are VERY hospitable and the hotel was fabulous. I would highly recommend it to ANYONE: clean, friendly, comfortable, with beautiful views and nothing to much trouble from your hosts. I would have loved to have stayed longer." M.P.
