More Like Staying at Someone’s Home
This is the kind of place you don’t come across often.
I don’t think I would even call Ca Sana a hotel. Yes, technically it is, but that isn’t really how it feels to me. It feels much more like staying in someone’s beautiful old home in the middle of Teulada. And that is exactly what I liked about it.
From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed. There is something very personal about the place, and I think a lot of that comes from the people who run it. They are warm, easy going and interested in you, rather than simply being there to check you in and out. Guests even mention how welcoming the hosts are, which completely matched my impression.
There’s a patio where I could happily spend an entire morning with coffee, a shared kitchen that somehow makes the whole place feel even more like home, and in the evening there’s the fireplace and that lovely feeling that there’s nowhere else you need to be.
The house itself has its own story too.
Ca Sana has kept original details and materials such as tosca stone, wood and natural rock, and it sits in the old walled part of Teulada, the Teulada Gòtica.
The area has a long history connected to Moscatel grapes and raisin production. For centuries, grapes were dried here in traditional riuraus those beautiful old structures with their distinctive arches that you still come across around the Marina Alta. Water was incredibly important too, and old wells and water sources were part of everyday life in the area.
