“We had the most wonderful exchange with Pilar, Tato and Diana in Godella Valencia. A Very friendly family and a pleasure to deal with. Everything was perfect actually and Pilar was most helpful about everything.The house was very spacious, superbly equipped, comfortable and just a joy. The swimming pool was ideal for the children to pass time during the day and cool down when we returned from the city. The location of Godella was very convenient for exploring the old city and visiting the city beaches within minutes. Pilar recommended many different places for us to visit both inside Valencia and in the surrounding area. We travelled in the lovely family people carrier to beaches like Les Rotes south of Valencia and enjoyed the local Paella and Wine.The metro from Godella was very useful for reaching Punta Fusta and the Turia park through Valencia which we particularly loved. The price of food and drinks in Valencia was very reasonable compared to Ireland. Thanks to Pilar, Tato, and Diana and Thanks Valencia!”

“The stay has been perfect. The house of Pilar and Tato is nice, comfortable and ideally situated. We enjoyed the swimming pool and the beach. We really liked to visit Valencia, its city of sciences, its oceanographic museum and the bioparc. Thanks to Pilar, we had a very good relationship Thank you for this exchange !!! Pierre and Evelyne”
“We highly recommend to exchange with Pilar and family in Valencia. There house is very conferrable and well organized. Valencia is a beautiful city with lots of activity for every one. We recommend Biopark and old town of Valencia. The children loved the pool and there are several beaches in short driving distance. Very good supermarket is in walking distance. We meet Pilar and family on the airport on our way home. They are very nice and trustworthy people. Our home were like no one have been there when we was away. This trip to Valencia was a happy time and good memory. Thank you Pilar, Francisco, Laura and Diana.”
“Nous avons passé de belles vacances chez Pilar et Tato. Leur maison est très confortable, bien équipée, agréable à vivre, on s'y sent comme à la maison. La maison est parfaitement située pour découvrir Valence, faire des sorties culturelles , de nombreuses activités sont possibles avec les enfants, ainsi que du shopping. Nous avons ou profiter des plages nombreuses tout près de la maison. Même si nous ne nous sommes pas vus, nous avons pu communiquer facilement avec Pilar et Tato, par mail, par téléphone: avant, pendant et après notre échange. Pilar et Tato ont été soigneux avec notre maison. Bref, nous avons eu un bel échange! Sylviane, Stephane, Maëlle, Léonie.”
“We spent 2 weeks in Pilar and Taco's house in August 2010. We had a great time. Their house is big and beautiful, situated in a lovely suburb of Valenica. Having the pool in the gardwn was great for the kids, they really enjoyed it. Valenica is a great city to visit with so many things to do and see. Pilar's house has all the facilities you need for a very comfortable stay. It was lovely to sit on the terrace in the evening and enjoy the warm sunny weather. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending an exchange with Pilar and family.”
Who we are
-
I am a university teacher, and my husband is a high school one. We have 2 girls: Laura (24) and Diana (16). They are used to travel and are very good mannered, you can be at your ease, they will be careful in your house. It is not our first exchange, so they know it is important to be liable. We like travelling a lot, and knowing new places and cultures. Laura likes the water activities, like sailing, kayaking, etc and Diana loves making new friends. We are looking for a house where feeling at home while exploring new surroundings and relaxing a bit. For the summer, we like a place near the wáter: river,lake, or sea.
We would like to give you any kind of tips to make your holidays more enjoyable.

Where is it?
Your neighbourhood
Godella is a typical village next to Valencia, which is a beautiful old city, with a lot of sightseeing to do, historical and modern arquitecture. There are so many places to go with children: old town, Albufera (lake), beaches, aquarium "oceanographic" (biggest in Europe), bioparc (newest zoo in Europe), Terra mitica (thematic park, great fun), science museum (interactive), Gulliver's park, port area...
The village of Godella is one of the nicest in the area.You have sport facilities (with an indoors pool) and a children park with a nice bar to eat or drink something two blocks away, and a lot of restaurants of every kind (very fine ones, family ones too). There are tube and tram station. Tube is going downtown every 20 minutes and takes 15 minutes to arrive to Valencia or the beaches .A lot of restaurants for every taste.
Sandy long beaches are all along the coast, you can choose the one you prefer. There are too a lot of places out of the city to see, for a day trip, like Peñíscola, la Albufera, Canet, Guadalest, Sagunt,...we will leave you some touristic information. There are also wineries to visit, and flamenco to see, if you wish. In Easter you can see the "Semana Santa marinera", on july there is "feria" in the city, and in august are the "fiestas" in the village and the surrounding ones, with parades (don't miss the "moros y cristianos" one), music, etc...you can see the fireworks from the verandah by night. Weather is sunny and warm, people is nice, and food is terrific, you have to taste the "paella" and the "orxata". Very good for relaxing...
