XUQ • Lomas de Ruvira

“We enjoyed our stay at this unique, relaxing location! It is peaceful & comfortable with great views! The service was impeccable. We highly recommend staying here!”

“My partner and I absolutely LOVED our cave villa experience! We stayed in the Grotta, which is a 2-story villa with two outdoor patios, an outdoor plunge pool (so refreshing!), an indoor tub, cozy upstairs bedroom, wonderful lounge area, and dining room. The landscaping is all very lovely, the lighting is moody and thoughtful, and we loved that it was very private. We visited in Spring (April), so it was a little chilly, but we knew to bring layers for spending time outside. At this time, the trees were in bloom and it smelled HEAVENLY everywhere! The styling of the villa was gorgeous -- a mixture of old, new, and whimsy. They didn't leave any details out! Very beautiful. The Landscape Club is pretty -- nice, private areas for couples or friends to hang out. We spent time by the lily pond and enjoyed the stars. The club would be a great spot to spend time in the summer as none of the water is heated. The hotel is VERY remote, so bring food to cook and eat for all meals (they do provide some pastries in the morning), water to drink, and wine to enjoy. It's in a beautiful wine country, so many great wines to choose from! Be sure to explore nearby areas too -- Jorquera is a cute town (maybe 25 minutes away) and Alcala del Jucar has the castle, river, and a few restaurants to enjoy. When staying there, you need to remember -- you're in a cave home in a very remote area. Nothing is **perfect**, but it is quite an incredible place to experience! And, as someone else shared, follow the driving directions given by XUQ! The way we drove to arrive there went on a road with very tight switchback curves right on the edge of a cliff. If we're ever in España again, we will definitely make a point to come back to XUQ for a few days!”

“I had read about Xuq in an article about the area and it exceeded expectations. The cave experience and location in the Jucar gorge were the attractions but we also found that the facilities are very good too, with the choice of using your own private area or the landscape club, which was very peaceful and well maintained. A beautiful place where you can come to relax in a tranquil location. Would definitely recommend bringing your own food and coal for the barbecue, so you don’t have to leave once you’re here.”

“My partner a I were looking for a place outside the busy world, to completely disconnect and focus on us, we felt like the world disappeared and found an amazing space. The service was very good and we are very olease very everything. Thank you”

“Amazing area to spend a night. But the amenities are very few and far between. They said it was a fully fitted kitchen. Not really the case,there wasn't even a bread knife. Also the frying pan was so old it burned and smoked when you heated it up. However they did everything to remedy it. The cave experience is very cool and the bed very comfortable. I think the biggest letdown is the breakfast. They could have left us eggs cheese and ham, this is Spain after all. Instead it was just some bread and cake and jam. And the covid excuse is getting old but I get they can't find people to work. However the staff that were there were lovely and very helpful.”

“A really unique experience in such a beautiful location. Pilar was great to deal with and answered any questions and doubts I had with great speed and efficiency. The setting is stunning and it’s a wonderful place to disconnect and relax. The suite was really well set up and had all we needed to have a great weekend. I look forward to going back in the future and trying another suite.”
