Hi! I’m Carlo — a Dutch entrepreneur and creative soul who moved to Valencia in 2022. What started as a short break turned into something much bigger: I fell head over heels for this incredible city. And not just any part of it — I fell in love with El Cabanyal.
El Cabanyal is a neighborhood unlike any other. Just a few minutes from the beach, it offers the perfect mix of authentic charm, small local shops, hidden cafés, and some of the best restaurants in the city. It’s vibrant yet peaceful, diverse yet deeply rooted in tradition. There’s something magical in the way the sea breeze blows through these narrow streets, where neighbors still greet each other and time seems to slow down just a little.
When I first discovered this neighborhood, I immediately knew: this is where I want to stay. That’s why I renovated this flat with love and attention to detail — not just as a place to sleep, but as a cozy, inspiring space where guests can feel at home and experience the true heart of Valencia.
Whether you’re in Valencia for work, a sabbatical, remote projects, or to take a longer break from your routine — I hope you’ll enjoy El Cabanyal as much as I do.
Welcome to my home by the sea.
Carlo
