Valencia, SpainThree apartments in a historic building
Blue Boutique
Historic Valencia outside. Contemporary comfort inside.
Blue Boutique occupies a Valencian building from 1897 in Ciutat Vella, the old town, about two minutes’ walk from the Cathedral. When it was renovated, the original facade had to be preserved, so from the street it keeps all of its old-world character.
Step inside and everything is new. Each of the three apartments occupies its own floor and is entirely yours, with the same design language and the same high ceilings. Expect a 160 × 200 cm queen bed, a walk-in shower with a separate toilet, a kitchenette with utensils, a 65-inch TV, a Nespresso machine, air conditioning and heating, and wifi. The ground floor has a patio at the back with plants; the two floors above each have a small private balcony over the street.

From the street to your room

The facade
Valencia in 1897, kept as it was. The renovation had to preserve the original facade, so from the street the building looks just as it always has.
- 2
The threshold
Two doors on the street. The right-hand door is the ground-floor apartment’s own entrance, with no stairs. The left-hand door is the building entrance for the first and second floors, where each apartment has its own private door.

Inside
Then the century changes. Fully renovated from top to bottom: high ceilings, clean lines and everything new.

Your stay
Very comfortable beds, modern walk-in showers, a kitchenette for slow breakfasts and, depending on the floor, a leafy patio or balcony seating with views.

Second Floor Apartment
Two levels above the street
Its own balcony, the one on the right of the facade, over Calle de la Corretgeria, with room for two chairs and a morning coffee. Inside, tall windows look onto the palms of the patio, with exposed brick and timber beams. Identical to the first floor.
Common building entrance
The left-hand door opens onto the common area and staircase, used by the first-floor apartment and yours; your apartment has its own private door. The apartment itself is yours alone.

★★★★★
“The best location we’ve had in Valencia, and that balcony!”
My girlfriend and I have stayed in Valencia a couple of times, and this has been the best location so far: all the hotspots are a couple of minutes’ walk away. The apartment was great. Outside noise wasn’t noticeable, the shower was lovely, and there’s even a small kitchen to make your own meals. Our favourite, though, was the balcony: perfect for a coffee in the morning and for listening to live music in the streets of Valencia in the evening.
★★★★★
“It really was the perfect stay!”
We had a great time in Valencia staying at Blue Boutique. It’s perfectly located in the prettiest area, and the apartment has a very high spec! It felt cool inside despite the heat outside: we only needed the air conditioning at night, on its quiet setting. As other reviewers have said, even in the centre of town there is very little noise to disturb you. We met Andres in person and he was so helpful and friendly, with lots of good suggestions and recommendations. My daughter loved being able to practise her Spanish in conversation with him.
★★★★★
“One of my best experiences renting a place in Valencia.”
Thanks to the charm of this loft, with plants, beautiful high ceilings and well-designed details, and, more importantly, the excellent communication and attention from Sulai and Andres. The space even smells good! It’s central and on street level, yet surprisingly quiet and cosy at night, and the bed is extremely comfortable. Overall, a fabulous place to stay!
★★★★★
“Even better than the pictures.”
One of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed in. I loved the interior, with the exposed brick and wood beams, and it was very well laid out. The location was prime, right off the Plaza de la Reina, close to stores, coffee, restaurants and shops. And the hosts were beyond helpful with recommendations for restaurants and things to do.
★★★★★
“Spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable.”
The apartment was absolutely fantastic, even better than the photos suggested. We truly appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the great-quality linens and the fast, reliable wifi. The host was exceptionally kind and communicative, making check-in seamless and easy. The location was perfect too, with key sights and excellent restaurants all within walking distance. We hope to return soon!
★★★★★
“A space with style and soul.”
I could not recommend this place more highly. My partner and I stayed for a week in a very comfortable space with style and soul, in a very interesting and lively part of Valencia. Sulai and Andres made everything so easy and were always easy to reach. I will remember this week, and this place, very fondly.
★★★★★
“I felt immediately welcome.”
Unbeatable location, on a side street close to the cathedral, yet quiet. Very nice, thoughtful hosts and fast communication. Very clean. A small, functional, beautifully designed apartment with high walls to fall in love with. I’d love to come back.
★★★★★
“Renovated with a lot of care and love for details.”
One of the best Airbnb apartments we have ever stayed at. It looks exactly like the pictures and has everything you need: very modern and stylish, with a spacious kitchen, a little balcony and a huge TV with Netflix to relax. Despite being in the epicentre of Valencia, right next to the famous cathedral, it’s on a peaceful, quiet street, and the best restaurants in Valencia are just a few metres away. We highly recommend it!
★★★★★
“It’s like being famous.”
Staying here is an experience, in a good way. Other reviews mention the attention the outside gets, and they’re right: half the time you step out of the door, someone is taking a picture of you. (They were actually photographing the building, but…) The interior is just as you see in the photos. A lovely base to explore from, and the nicest toilet paper we’ve had in Spain, too.

Questions about Blue Boutique
Am I booking the whole building or one apartment?
One apartment. Blue Boutique is a single historic building with three separate apartments, each a rental of its own with its own Airbnb listing. The ground-floor apartment has its own private entrance; the first- and second-floor apartments share the building entrance. Groups can book all three together by contacting us on WhatsApp.
Is there a lift to the upper floors?
Due to the building’s historic character, unfortunately there is no lift: the first and second floors are reached by the stairs. If stairs are a concern, the ground-floor apartment is step-free and wheelchair accessible.
Is any apartment step-free?
Yes, the ground-floor apartment, and only that one. It has its own entrance with no stairs and is wheelchair accessible. The first and second floors are reached by stairs only.
Do the first- and second-floor apartments have balconies?
Yes. Each has its own balcony over Calle de la Corretgeria, the one on the right of the facade, with views of the street. There’s room for two chairs: just right for two to sip a morning coffee and people-watch. The balconies on the left are on the staircase side and aren’t for guest use.
How far is it to the Cathedral?
Very close: about a two-minute walk. Blue Boutique is on Calle de la Corretgeria in Ciutat Vella, the historic centre, steps from Plaza de la Reina.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 15:00 (3 pm) and check-out is by 11:00 am. Arriving after midnight? Let us know in advance and we’ll arrange a late check-in (€25).
Can I leave my luggage before check-in or after check-out?
Yes, at luggage storage close by: Calle de los Derechos 3 (book online at mediterraneanflats.com) or Calle de les Carabasses 14 (€5 per item).
Is there parking?
We don’t have parking, but there is a secure underground car park under Plaza de la Reina, within a minute’s walk of the building. The Mercado Central car park, about 4 minutes away, is another option.
