Rural Hotel in Culla, Castellón – One of the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain
Located in the heart of the province of Castellón, the town of Culla stands as a true treasure in the interior of the Valencian Community. Listed as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain, this charming town offers an unparalleled combination of history, nature, and authenticity. With its unique medieval architecture, privileged views of the Peñagolosa massif, and an atmosphere of total tranquility, Culla has emerged in recent years as a high-potential tourist destination. Today, we present a unique investment opportunity: a fully developed and ready-to-execute tourism project, ideal for those looking to start a business in the sustainable and high-quality rural tourism sector.
Culla: History, Heritage and Nature
Situated at about 1,088 meters above sea level, in the region of Alto Maestrazgo, Culla preserves an impressive historic center, declared a Site of Cultural Interest. Its cobbled streets, remnants of ancient walls, old churches, and stately homes transport visitors to another era. It is also located along the famous Camino del Cid, attracting lovers of history, literature, and hiking from all over Spain and Europe.
This privileged natural environment, combined with its mild mountain climate, makes Culla a perfect place for leisure, nature, wellness, and disconnection tourism. And with the growing demand for authentic tourist experiences in rural areas, the need for charming accommodation in this area is more evident than ever.
The Property: 8 Hectares of Possibilities in a Natural Paradise
The property for sale is a spectacular 8-hectare estate, perfectly integrated into the natural surroundings of Culla. From its terraces and trails, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Peñagolosa — the highest peak in the province — as well as the winding Monlleo River, which adds freshness and greenery to the landscape.
The estate includes a fully approved project for the construction of a rural boutique hotel, designed to respect and enhance the natural environment. All municipal and regional permits and licenses are active and fully paid, allowing the work to start immediately without bureaucratic complications or delays.
The Project: Boutique Hotel in the Heart of Nature
The project envisions the construction of a high-value rural boutique hotel, designed to offer an immersive and relaxing accommodation experience. The proposal includes:
-
20 independent cabins of 27 square meters, strategically spread across the estate to ensure privacy and unparalleled views.
-
Restaurant area with local and seasonal cuisine, ideal for showcasing Alto Maestrazgo products and attracting both guests and external visitors.
-
Gym and wellness spa, perfect for those seeking health and relaxation in a natural environment.
-
Outdoor infinity pool, designed to offer unforgettable moments of rest with the valley and mountains as a backdrop.
-
Landscaped common areas and nature trails, ideal for leisure, reading, or simply enjoying the silence.
The entire project has been designed with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind, using local materials, renewable energy sources, and a landscape integration that prioritizes respect for the environment.
