Welcome to Casa Mayolica
Nestled amidst the sweet scent of jasmine that drifts through ancient courtyards, our historic house beckons you to unwind in serene comfort. Here, time moves at a different pace—slower, softer, more deliberate.
A House That Breathes History
Step through our doors and you step into a century and a half of stories. Casa Mayolica began its life in 1872 as an alfarería—a traditional ceramic workshop where master artisans of Manises shaped clay into beauty. The very walls hold the memory of kiln fires and the rhythm of potters’ wheels. Original mayolica tiles, hand-painted by generations of ceramists, still grace our floors and walls, their cobalt blues and honey yellows as vibrant today as when they were first fired.
Where Creativity Finds Its Muse
There’s a reason artists, writers, and dreamers return to us again and again. Light pours through tall windows onto vaulted ceilings. Jasmine-scented patios offer quiet corners for contemplation. The ceramic museum of Manises sits just steps away. Whether you’re drafting a novel, sketching tile patterns, or simply letting your mind wander, this house has a way of unlocking something essential in the creative spirit.
Connected Yet Worlds Away
Despite our historic seclusion, Valencia’s pulse is remarkably close:
– Metro: Manises station, 5-minute walk — direct line to Valencia city center in 20 minutes
– Airport: Valencia Airport (VLC), 3 minutes by car
– Ceramic Museum: 2-minute walk
– Historic center of Manises: 3-minute walk
Our Philosophy
Where history meets hospitality isn’t just a tagline—it’s how we live. We’ve preserved the soul of this house while weaving in the comforts modern travelers need. You’ll sleep on original tiles, wake beneath original beams, and brew coffee in a kitchen that once fed a workshop full of artisans.
Step into our world of history, art, and inspiration at Casa Mayolica
From the tiled fountain in the interior patio to the lace-dressed tables by the tall windows, every corner of the house carries the same hand-painted character — cobalt blues, honey yellows, and the quiet patina of a century and a half of ceramic craft.
An Event Space Steeped in History
At its heart, Casa Mayolica is an event space unlike any other in Valencia. Two jasmine-scented courtyards, vaulted salons dressed in hand-painted ceramic, and a walled garden patio give your gathering a setting no hotel ballroom or function room can imitate. From intimate small weddings and anniversary dinners to product launches, cultural evenings, and filming locations for cinema and advertising, the house adapts to the moment while keeping its 1872 soul. Hosts and guests alike keep telling us the same thing: events here don’t feel organized — they feel destined.
Intimate Small Weddings & Private Events
Our tiled courtyards and vaulted salons set the scene for intimate small weddings, anniversaries, and private events of every kind. Imagine vows exchanged beneath hand-painted ceramic arches, a candlelit dinner in a patio that has hosted celebrations since 1872, and photographs your grandchildren will study for the light alone. With space for gatherings both grand and small, and the ceramic museum of Manises as your neighbor, Casa Mayolica turns family milestones into heirloom memories. For corporate retreats and cultural evenings, the house offers the same magic: history you can touch, and a setting no hotel ballroom can imitate.
A Living Ceramic House Museum
Staying here is like sleeping inside a ceramic house museum — except you may touch everything. Each room is a chapter in Manises’ ceramic story: the alfarería workshop that founded the house in 1872, the kiln-fired tiles that line its walls, the tools and molds left behind by the artisan families who lived here for generations. Guests often spend their first hour simply reading the walls. If you love ceramic art, this is hallowed ground; if you’re simply curious, we’ll happily tell you the stories behind every tile.
More Than an Event Space
Alongside weddings and private events, Casa Mayolica wears several hats. As a boutique hotel, the apartment sleeps up to five guests — two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, and fast Wi-Fi — with personal check-in and direct booking, no middlemen. As a filming location, the house has hosted Netflix productions and international advertising campaigns drawn by its Mediterranean light and original tilework. And as a living piece of Manises’ ceramic heritage, it welcomes visitors for open-house events like Open House Valencia and Ceràmica Oberta. However you come to know the house — for one night, one celebration, or one shoot — you’ll leave understanding why people return season after season.
