Valencia Property Blog

Unusually we have a midweek blog and that's because this one replaces the one due out on the 25th of December as I suspect many readers will have other priorities that day and I guess my family won't be too happy if I just spend the day putting out social media posts to read the blog. Therefore Merry Xmas to your all and let's read on before all of the Yuletide madness gets to us shall we. (We'll still have one next Monday that looks over the year as a whole in the world of Valencia Property).

If you are an assiduous follower of this blog then you'll know that in the late summer we launched Stepping Stone Rentals, our first step, three month rental platform for properties in Valencia. This was done because of the rental crisis in Valencia which we originally wrote about here in October of last year then updated here in June this year which meant that it was extremely difficult for our clients coming into Valencia (And everybody else) to find rental accomodation in Valencia remotely. When you added this to the scams online we thought it time to do something to help out.

Our idea was Stepping Stone Rentals, a place to find a property for your initial stay in Valencia. We chose three month time periods as standard because this gives people time to find their long term rental or for them to purchase property, it is the length of the Schengen Visa and it is typically the time needed by people when they are modernising a property and need to move out for a while. We can negotiate longer stays or renew the initial stay and at times it may be possible to have a slightly shorter stay if your dates don't coincide but the basics are for three month stays.

Stepping Stone Rentals are fully equipped and supplied ready to go with all white goods, initial supplies and internet so you can get down to work or to Netflix and Chill on arrival. There is a single price paid on reserving the property and you have full support while here with issues that may come up. You also get the expertise of Valencia Property to help you find your long term rental or purchase and as a SSR customer you get a discount off our normal fees for that service. All costs are included in the rental including electric, gas, water and internet and we take and hold a 500 Euros deposit on reserve until the end of the contract and leaving the property.

Today we thought we would show you some of our ever increasing portfolio of properties which, as I write, are available but you can always find current availability on our homepage. If you have a property that may suit then feel free to contact us through our SSR page and we will get back to you and chat.

As for those of you looking for your initial landing pad in Valencia and around take a look at what is currently available and contact us to reserve. We here at Valencia Property have your back.

Really Good Ruzafa Value

Is Ruzafa for you? Are you a foodie? Does setting up your laptop in a café sound like your kind’a thing? Can't get enough of hanging out with friends on any of the numerous terraces that line Russafa's streets? Fancy taking a stroll over to the center?

The flavorful streets of Ruzafa have more restaurants to choose from than there is population in the city, or so it feels sometimes.

Most importantly - Do you enjoy the peace and quiet indoors but love outdoor liveliness? – Then this is your home.

Stepping Stone Rentals loves this nicely renovated classic 2 bedroom - 1 bathroom apartment in the center of Russafa.

It is a quick and pleasant stroll to the Russafa Market and the luscious green “Parc Central” is just a couple blocks away while the Turia park is located on the opposite side. Both the Ayuntamiento and Xativa train station are just 10 minutes away as well, and that's walking, Valencia is a very walkable city.

This is a calm and quiet building with lovely neighbours and, of course, it comes with everything you might need during your stay in Valencia.

Enchanting Ensanche Elegance

Recently added to the SSR stable of properties, as a first step into Valencia you couldn't get a better location than Ensanche and Calle Burriana and you couldn't get a better apartment than this one recently modernised and ready to move into.

A stunning piece of work from our sister company Valencia Remodels with an open plan kitchen and living area that is bright and airy, you should have seen it before, the darkness. This four bedroom, three bathroom apartment with terrace is a perfect three month rental as long as you get in there quickly as the owners will be back for a visit in late March and therefore the opportunity is only open for a month or so to rent this place.

Location is key of course and you are a stone's throw from the riverbed and music palace, near to the City of Arts and Sciences, have more restaurants, cafes and bars than you could ever wish to visit and right near the central shopping areas of Valencia.

This is especially good for those of you thinking of settling down long term in Ensanche too as many of our clients do. 120 Euros per day for this one for three months stay so you'll need deeper pockets than some of our other properties but you know what they say... location x3 and quality counts. All costs included just like in every SSR.

Luxury Living in the Mountains Outside Valencia

Luxury property costs but you don't resent that cost when the property is this good. With a living room area larger than most apartments, this is the home for nature lovers who still want to be part of the city. And yes, the pool is THAT big and the views are THAT good.

Enjoy this large spacious home nestled a'top of Serra. Look from any of the many windows, doorways, or terraces and observe green trees on the blue Valencian horizon. It's calm, it's rejuvenating, it's private - It's Serra. Spend the weekend hiking the surrounding mountains and when you've had enough peace then pop down into the town for some "barrio" atmosphere to enjoy a drink and tapa...

Host a barbeque for all your family, cousins, friends, and friends of friends - There's plenty of space! And, why not!... Even follow the current trend of Cold-Water dunking by jumping into your own outdoor pool in the middle of winter! Newly renovated and fully equipped we certainly can call this place a better home away from home.

Apartment in a Shared House in La Pobla de Vallbona

Something a little bit different here for those of you wanting a little bit more from your Stepping Stone Rental. A self contained apartment in a shared house with off road parking, shared pool, gardens and fruit trees and more. And they are all looked after for you.

The apartment in itself is the ground floor of the house and has its own private entrance. It comprises a living room, hall, large kitchen, two double bedrooms and a large bathroom with shower. Of course like all Stepping Stone Rentals it comes fully furnished and equipped and is ready to be moved into from the start of September.

Located just outside La Pobla de Vallbona and L'Eliana the house is in a cul de sac meaning it is extremely quiet. You can get to the Carrefour supermarket in just five minutes in the car and there are a few cafes and bars within walking distance. La Pobla and Eliana are just five minutes away in the car but it will take you a good half hour to walk to them. Valencia is just 18 minutes away in the car and you can be at a few beaches within half an hour easily. The airport is also 15-20 minutes away. The bus into Valencia stops 15 minutes walk away from the house too.

Contact us for more information and photos but suffice to say that this is an excellent Stepping Stone Rental and just a little bit different. Also the family living in the top half of the house are lovely and the garden flat is lived in by the handyman for the house in case anything goes wrong.

Perfect Penthouse in Central Valencia

La Seu in the heart of Valencia just a few metres away from the riverbed and a short stroll to the cathedral this two bedroom apartment with a large and rather fetching terrace is an amazing place to land with your Stepping Stone Rental. Here you will have everything at hand with all of Valencia on your doorstep and a large terrace overlooking the rooftops of central Valencia. You are just a few metres away from the "Turia" riverbed park and have very easy access to plenty of shopping adventures, history and culture.

Of course the apartment is fully furnished and equipped with a cubby hole office in the corner of the living dining room and fast internet of course. There are two double bedrooms, a large bathroom with bath and shower and a decent sized fully equipped kitchen.

Plenty of cushions for the outdoor furniture as you can see in the pictures when they were stored inside. Everything is comfortable and ready to go!

It's a fifth floor with a lift and on a quiet side street with a fantastic restaurant just across the road and also plenty of other options within 200m. There are bus routes almost on your doorstep to get out and about in Valencia, not to mention the epic network of cycle paths is also accessed from just across the road.

Crossing the nearby riverbed takes you into Viveros park too, one of the best established in Valencia with its summer concerts and events and the fine arts Museum, the Serranos Towers and the Old Town are all within a five minute stroll. If you are looking for peace and quiet right in the heart of the city as the starting point for your Valencia life then you could do a lot worse.

Of course like all Stepping Stone Rentals you can have three months initially and all costs are included in the price. Contact us for more information and to book this superb penthouse in central Valencia.

I can even vouch for this one personally having stayed here while renovating our house last summer. It was the first time I had found myself living in Valencia city centre and I loved it. Strolling around the centre of the city on the warm summer nights was a joy. .

Cozy Torres Serranos Apartment

Come chill in the center of Valencia in this magnificent apartment. Have a breath of fresh air looking at the Torres Serranos from your balcony or sunbathe on the community terrace. 1 large bedroom with double bed and wardrobe, 1 large bathroom, open kitchen and living room.

This property would suit a couple looking to take their first steps into Valencia and the lifestyle of living in the city. Right by all of the major attractions but on a road with very little traffic, although quite lot of foot traffic, this apartment is high enough up to avoid too much noise and the bedroom is to the rear giving you peace and quiet. Stylish, open plan and with great facilities and amenities like all Stepping Stone Rentals, this property is a chic introduction to Valencia and ready for you now.

As I said, this is the availability as I write this but it changes weekly with new properties being added all the time and places being rented. Just contact us to talk about renting one of our Stepping Stone Rentals.
