Two family homes where you can slow down, reconnect with nature and experience life in a genuine mountain village.
Casas Elina is a family project comprising two rural holiday homes in Lucena del Cid. Stone, timber, fireplaces, objects with a story and architecture rooted in village life.
We do not want to create accommodation that could be anywhere. We want each house to retain a little of Lucena del Cid and help guests feel part of the village.
Each house has its own personality. Rather than simply comparing facilities, imagine what a few days in each one would feel like.
Casas Elina grew out of a family story and a particular way of seeing village life.
Rosa has deep roots in Lucena del Cid. This is where her family history lies, along with a heritage she has worked to preserve. Casas Elina grew from her wish to restore homes with character, respect their spirit and share the village with others.
For Rosa, hosting is about more than offering somewhere to sleep. It means sharing what she knows and loves: the streets, landscapes, traditions, little shops and places you will rarely find in a guidebook.
The project aims to grow without losing its spirit: preserving the houses’ traditional character, caring for the surroundings and helping keep Lucena del Cid’s heritage and village life alive.
Personal attention is one of the things that makes Casas Elina special.
From your first enquiry, Rosa can help you choose the right house and suggest walks, places to eat, swimming spots, village corners and seasonal activities.
And she is on hand if you need anything during your stay.
Lucena del Cid is also a great base for mountain trips, snow, Mediterranean beaches, historic villages and a day out in Valencia.
