A private Savi Coliving proposal for the Morand y Valero de Palma family. Not a hotel. Not a resort. A small, sober long-stay residence that preserves the estate — and pays for itself faster than the 58-bed plan ever could.
You already know what Casa Solariega del Carmen is. You've seen it in the spring, when the orange blossom takes the whole valley. You've walked the stone walls the Morand y Valero de Palma family laid. You know the difference between a house and a home with a history.
The current proposal on the table is a 58-room, 92-bed hotel. It works on paper. On the estate, it means an €8m+ construction, five years of permits and works, a gutted interior, and a business that has to fill 20,000 room-nights a year to break even. It is not the only path.
There is a smaller, quieter, more profitable one — and it is already proven. Our first house, Villa Savi in Valencia, runs at 95% occupancy year-round, on long stays, at premium rates, with a waitlist. Sober travel is not a niche anymore. It is the fastest-growing category in wellness hospitality, and almost nobody is doing it well.
El Naranjal would be the second property in that group — and the flagship. Same walls, same grove, same name on the door. Twenty-something residents at a time. A single, sensitive restoration, not a demolition. Cash flow inside eighteen months of opening, not five years. And an estate whose history is continued, not overwritten.
A manor house from the early 1800s, still standing quietly among its own trees.
Casa Solariega del Carmen was built by the Morand y Valero de Palma family, pioneers who exported muscat raisins and, later, oranges across 19th- and 20th-century Europe. Stone walls, handmade terracotta floors, vaulted ceilings, Arab tile roofs. Nothing loud. Nothing new for the sake of new.
The estate sits on 45,000 m² of working orange grove — over 1,200 Valencia Late trees, three private wells, a natural stone cistern pool that stays at 18 °C all year.
Savi Coliving is bringing it back to life, carefully. Same walls, same orchard, same rhythm. A second home to Villa Savi, run by the same hands and the same rules.
Photographs of the estate today, before restoration. The bones of the house — everything we intend to keep.
What it's like to live here →One in three adults under 40 is now drinking less or not at all. The alcohol-free market grew 30% last year. And yet there are fewer than a dozen properly-run sober coliving houses in the world. Savi is one of them, and we intend to be the reference.
El Naranjal would be the second, and the flagship. From here, the model scales — carefully — across Andalucía, the Balearics, Portugal, and Italy. The family that helps us build this house builds the brand with us.
Spain is closing hotel licences, restricting Airbnbs, and pushing back on tourist infrastructure that displaces locals. A 58-bed hotel adds 20,000 short-stay tourist nights a year to a coast that is already over-built. Twenty-four long-stay residents on a private estate — staying one to eleven months at a time, buying their bread from the same baker for a season — do not. This is closer to how the finca was always used than to any hotel that could replace it.
Villa Savi opened in the mountains of Valencia in 2023. A small, sober, long-stay coliving with a working kitchen and a waitlist. The model is proven — El Naranjal is us doing it again, once, and better.
Numbers are current as of late 2025. Detailed operating figures available on request under NDA.
We ran the numbers side by side. Three moments tell the whole story.
A full demolition-and-rebuild, funded by the buyer. Five years of permits, contractors and risk before a single euro comes in.
A aesthetic refresh — paint, textiles, kitchen. Funded by the family, recovered inside the first year of rent. From year two on, everything is upside.
Four to five years of licences, works and quiet losses before the doors even open.
Six to nine months to a working residence, paying rent from month one.
Interiors demolished, wings added, chain signage on the door. What the family built is replaced by what an operator needs.
Terracotta stays. Vaulted ceilings stay. The grove stays. Casa Solariega del Carmen stays on the door — El Naranjal is a quiet secondary line.
Ranges are conservative. Detailed working models available under NDA.
El Naranjal is a sober house. That's the starting line, not the whole story. Around it we build the small daily things that make a long stay actually good: good food, good company, structure when you want it, silence when you don't.
Optional yoga or a walk into the grove. Coffee is already on.
Fresh bread, fruit from the trees, eggs from the neighbour. No one is on their phone.
One long table, when you're signed up. Seasonal, Mediterranean, mostly plants. Wine-free, always. Meal weeks are optional — you sign up in advance for a full week of lunch and dinner.
Fibre internet in the studios. Hammocks under the palm. Your call.
Twice a week: sharing circles, sober socials, workshops, or nothing at all.
The house settles down. Cicadas, stone, sleep.
El Naranjal opens in 2026. Until then, this is what verified guests of our first house, Villa Savi in Valencia, have said in their Google reviews.
“A rare environment where you can slow down, connect, and leave clearer, more focused, and recharged than when you arrived. When I'm back in Spain, this is where I'll come home to.”
“I've come across many co-working and co-living spaces through my work — Savi, with its sober concept, is truly something very special. A place that leaves a lasting impression.”
“I genuinely couldn't have found a better co-living spot in Valencia. The location is incredible. The community is warm. The standard of hosting is on another level.”

One price, one house. Everything you need to actually live here.
Dénia sits on the Costa Blanca, between Valencia and Alicante, under the shoulder of the Montgó natural park. A working port, a UNESCO gastronomy town, a beach you can walk to. It never asks for much attention. It rewards you when you pay it.
Two short films of Casa Solariega del Carmen and its grounds today, before the doors open in autumn 2026.
Restorations go wrong when the operator forgets whose house it actually is. These are our commitments, written down.
Terracotta stays. Vaulted ceilings stay. Original doors, tiles, and beams are restored, not replaced. Anywhere plaster is opened, we open it with the family's permission.
The 45,000 m² of Valencia Late trees keeps producing on the current irrigation plan. Harvest continues each April, run by the current agricultural team if they wish to stay on.
No events for hire, no coach tours, no photoshoots for outside brands. The house is lived in, not rented out.
The name Casa Solariega del Carmen stays. Savi Coliving is a discreet secondary line, never a headline sign.
No new-build annexes without the family's written consent. The estate's Non-urbanisable protection is a feature to us, not a hurdle.
The founder is on the ground, not a corporate lease-holder in another country. You'll have one direct line, not a call centre.
The family funds a small, one-off aesthetic prep — under €80,000 — before the lease starts. Savi commits to a 24-month lease from day one. Rent covers that outlay within the first year, and everything after is upside. If it works, we buy at a pre-agreed valuation two years in. If it doesn't, you keep a restored, income-producing estate with two years of rent and full freedom to sell to anyone.
One outlay of < €80K, paid back inside a year of rent. After that: two years of pure income, a saleable improved asset, and a guaranteed offer at a pre-agreed price if Savi succeeds.
We don't ask the family to bet on us. We commit to two years of rent and only buy the estate once we've earned the right to.
This is the version of the deal that asks the family for a small, recoverable investment and asks Savi to prove itself first. If it works, everyone wins. If it doesn't, the family is still ahead of where they are today.
Write to the founderThat's the whole point of the structure. The family keeps ownership throughout. The €80K goes into their own asset. Rent flows from month one. The three possible endings all point up.
Occupancy meets the pre-agreed threshold by month 24. Savi exercises the call option at the formula price set today.
24 months of rent · full sale proceeds · restored estate · Casa Solariega del Carmen name preserved.
Savi holds first refusal for 30 days. If we don't match, you sell to the third party. If we do match, you sell to Savi at that price.
Two years of rent already banked · competitive sale price · lease ends cleanly · improved asset either way.
Occupancy doesn't hit targets. Savi doesn't exercise the option. The lease ends. The family owns everything.
24 months of rent kept · €80K of improvements owned · two years of income history to show the next buyer · full freedom to sell.
Downside protected. Upside real. Ownership never leaves the family.
Beyond the numbers, these are the parts of Casa Solariega del Carmen the family never loses. Every one is in the lease, not a promise.
Casa Solariega del Carmen stays — always. El Naranjal is only a discreet secondary line under the operating agreement.
One real bedroom in the main house is kept for family use — for visits, holidays, harvest week, anniversaries. Reserved by a message, not a booking.
Income from the Valencia Late crop stays with the family. Savi operates the house; the grove remains yours to farm or lease as you wish.
If Savi ever chose to exit the operation in future, the family has first refusal to buy the business back — mirror of the option we hold.
The founder, not a broker, not a call centre. In writing, at hola@savicoliving.com, forever.
A concrete calendar, so you know exactly what happens after a first conversation. No open-ended process, no drift.
Mutual confidentiality signed. One-page heads of terms drafted from this proposal — no lawyers yet.
We walk the estate together. Family's counsel and ours align on the lease, the option formula, and the aesthetic scope.
24-month lease with call option and first-refusal signed. Rent starts day one of possession.
Paint, textiles, kitchen, plumbing touch-ups. Funded by the family, under €80K, done by trades the family approves.
First residents arrive. Casa Solariega del Carmen begins its second life. Family invited to the opening dinner.
Ninety days from a yes to a signed lease. Six months from a yes to a working house.
We're a small house. Rooms are given out one by one, in conversation. Tell us a little about you and when you'd like to come — we'll take it from there.
This conversation is between us, the current stewards, and the family. It stays that way. Nothing is listed publicly, nothing is discussed with brokers unless you ask us to.
