Spent a lovely 2 hours here with the family strolling along the paths of the formal gardens and occasionally wandering into the wooded areas. The most surprising thing about the gardens is they are only around 40 years old whereas the owner has done a wonderful job of giving the impression that the gardens are significantly older. Will return in the summer when everything should be in full bloom including the many arched/pergolad walkways. Many wonderful views of surrounding countryside available from strategically placed benches and seats.

Enjoyable 2 hour tour of the gardens with the charming owners. The tour is in Spanish but you do not need to speak it fluently to appreciate the visit. So much more than a garden full of plants especially cacti - also a little bodega in a cave, natural history museum, pond, stream and water features, patios, birds, frogs, terrapins and tortoises! It is best to ring to make a reservation for your visit. There is parking on site and it is all level with good access.

Visit our typical Valencian orange grove “Huerto Ribera”, built in 1870, a stately palace in eclectic and modernist style restored by the Ribera family. It is located in Carcaixent, close to Valencia, which is described as “the cadle of the Valencian orange”. Walk through its monumental garden in an unbeatable setting. Learn all about the orange cultivation, see other fruit crops, make a small tour through the orange history with images and explanatory panels, tasting our handmade Valencian orange products and finish the visit with a freshly squeezed orange juice!!

Fantastic experience. This place is truly a piece of heaven. The natural beauty complimented by the beautifully landscaped surroundings make this place 100% worth a visit. The tour was very informative. This orchard has so much history, it’s very interesting to hear all about it. Teresa, our tour guide who happens to be a part of the Ribera family was fabulous and very knowledgeable. We went with our two kids - 4 and 6 and they didn’t want to leave the place by the end of it. We received a very warm and familiar treatment. The kids had a lot of fun playing in the play area, jumping on the trampoline, running around in the orchard and picking their own oranges. Every moment of this tour is truly treasure-packed. And it’s definitely worth way more than the amount you pay. 100% recommended! We will be back in spring to enjoy the blossoms.

This is effectively the ex river bed now extensive and delightful park area which has been shaped and honed so that it has something for everyone in terms of sports facilities, water features, floral displays, natural tree shade, walking / cycling paths/routes etc. You can stroll around any part of this city park and enjoy it and/or just sit a while and read a book. Colourful and cared for it never disappoints and is well worth a visit !!

This little garden takes around 30 minutes to amble round. We took longer because it was a joy to behold. Ponds, flower beds trees an orangery formal gardens a raised area of a rock garden to explore plenty of photo opportunities. Quiet with not many fellow tourists. A little off the beaten track so you do have to hunt the garden out but it IS WELL WORTH IT. It is a short walk from the Royal gardens which are much bigger and of as much interest. Keep a lookout for the wild parakeets.....you’ll hear them before you see them.
