Casa les Marruixes

Casa Les Marruixes (pronounced: Mar-roe-tsjès) is located at the highest point of the village, close to the historic tower and the church. The house consists of 4 floors, of which the ground floor is for guests, including use of the roof terrace with fantastic views of the surroundings. We live on the 1st floor for a few months a year.

The house was previously inhabited by a wealthy farming family with farmlands and olive groves around the village. It was the only family that owned horses to work the land, while others had only donkeys. Les Marruixes is the local nickname for the residents who were both rich and very pious.
The house is located in the center of quiet Calig, so you quickly feel part of the village. People greet each other friendly and after a few days at the bakery around the corner you will be recognized as a resident of Casa Les Marruixes. The square at the end of the street is the center of all traditional village festivals.

There is a bakery and a supermarket in the village. And there are several cafes where you can also have a delicious lunch or tapas. Vinarós beach is a fifteen-minute drive away and if you drive in the other direction, you will enjoy winding roads through the mountains with fantastic views over the Le Maestrat area with endless olive and orange groves, small villages and old castles. A fantastic environment for walking or going on an adventure with your MTB.

Through the entrance of the house you enter the spacious, sunny kitchen with a large dining table and everything you need. We provide the basic necessities such as coffee, tea, herbs and a bottle of drinking water.
The bathroom is simple but functional, with toilet, sink and a nice shower. Soft towels are ready for you.
The living room and bedroom are located at the back of the house, where it always remains cool. The living room has a 2.5-seater sofa and a nice armchair, television, games and information about the area.
The bedroom, with lots of privacy, has a comfortable double bed, made with fresh sheets. The light patio provides daylight and fresh air.

And then... take the stairs up to the roof terrace. Here you can enjoy the sun and the view from a lounger, long evenings with wine and the BBQ and the beautiful sunsets. You look out over the village, the surrounding hills and in the distance the Siera d'irta nature reserve and a small part of the coast near Peñiscola. Due to the layout and the historical elements, the house is not suitable for children.
