Property Assessment This property transfers an active rural rental licence. In a region where the Generalitat Valenciana has closed the door on new Vivienda Turística licences, that changes the value calculation entirely. A 1,149 square metre city palace in the historic centre of Xàtiva — eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a private courtyard pool, multiple terraces, and significant room to add further bedrooms or reconfigure space. For buyers who want to live in a property and still generate rental income, the combination is real: the scale allows for personal use alongside rentable capacity, and the courtyard pool is rare in a historic urban setting. Practical note: parking is currently available for two cars, which in a casa rural context is a constraint worth factoring into the occupancy model. Xàtiva is the birthplace of two popes, home to one of the most visited castles in the region, and draws visitors year-round. A direct train line runs to Valencia city, with up to 40 services a day and a journey of around 40 minutes. Not a coastal location. The energy certificate is still in process. Best suited for buyers who want to live well, keep rental income as a real option, and have the scale to shape the property around how they use it.

Manor House with Panoramic Views — Palma de Gandía, La Safor
Palma de Gandía, la Safor, València / Valencia, Comunitat Valenciana, EspañaA fully restored historic manor in the village of Palma de Gandía — hydraulic floors, exposed beams, handcrafted ceramics, original carpentry — with 360° panoramic terraces at the top and six bedrooms across multiple independent levels, at a price that would not exist for a property of this character closer to the coast. Fifteen minutes to the beaches of Gandía, under an hour to Valencia. This is a townhouse: it sits embedded in the village, not on a standalone plot. The listing frames it as a potential boutique hotel or mixed-use project — that's a real possibility, but hospitality use comes with permit requirements that are separate from buying the property. Best suited for buyers who want genuine architectural character and are buying for a lifestyle or long-term project, not buyers expecting a turn-key standalone villa.
Townhouse with Touristic Licence — Alzira Riverside
la Barraca d'Aigües Vives, Alzira, la Ribera Alta, València / Valencia, Comunitat Valenciana, 46792, EspañaA 293 square metre townhouse renovated in 2018 and again in 2023, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private pool, and an active touristic licence operating as three-star rural accommodation. The licence is the defining feature: in a region where new Vivienda Turística licences are under a Generalitat moratorium, this property transfers one that is already operational. Twelve kilometres from the Mediterranean, 40 minutes from Valencia, two kilometres from a golf course. The listing cites a 7% gross yield with potential up to 14%. The 7% is plausible for an established rural accommodation of this size and character; the 14% is aspirational. What the property offers is real: renovation quality, character, a working licence, and a rural location that is not isolated. Suited for buyers who want a property that can generate income from day one and understand that the touristic licence is the asset, not just the house.
