Where Masía de Muñoz is and how to get there
Masía de Muñoz is in Mora de Rubielos, a village in the province of Teruel, in Aragon. It is a country house with views over the village centre, suited to anyone who travels by car and wants peace and quiet.
The property's page gives Valencia airport as 122 km away, which is the reference if you fly. There is free parking, which is welcome at a country house.
On how far it is from the village, the reviews do not quite agree. One family says the house is separate from the village and from everything else, while another guest says it is close to the village centre for buying local produce or going out for a drink. My reading is that it is on the outskirts, but a short walk from Mora de Rubielos.
What the house is like and what it includes
It is a traditional house with stone walls and exposed beams that combines the old with today's comforts. It has six independent bedrooms, a living room with a flat-screen TV and two bathrooms with showers.
Outside there is a private garden with a barbecue, a large terrace and balconies with views over the village. Bed linen and towels are included, so you arrive and settle in. Here is a summary of what each space offers.
| Space | What is there | Useful for |
|---|---|---|
| Bedrooms | Six, independent | Large groups and families |
| Living room | Flat-screen TV, and according to guests a wood stove and fireplace | Winter evenings |
| Kitchen | Fully equipped, with fridge and dishwasher | Cooking without going out |
| Outdoors | Garden, barbecue, terrace and balconies | Meals outdoors |
Several guests praise the central heating and the wood stove, and one values being able to prepare the coals for a barbecue indoors. Another says the house was already warm when they arrived, a detail that says a lot about the host's care.
What guests highlight
On Google it has a rating of 4.6 from 14 reviews. Most are five stars and the same themes keep coming up.
- The owner's care. Many reviews speak of a kind, attentive and considerate owner. One family says he explained the facilities and left them firewood and ice.
- The calm. Guests mention the quiet, the natural setting and the chance to see the stars at night.
- The size. A group of two couples with four children describes it as huge and perfect for switching off for a weekend.
- The rural feel. Some mention animals the children enjoyed and a restoration that respects the original details of the building.
Several reviews are a few years old, though there is also a recent one from a family weekend. I get the impression that the good service has been kept up over time.
What to know before you book
The most serious complaint is a one-star review, from a few years ago, which mentions bites and bed bugs. According to that guest, they liked the house, but after returning home several family members noticed bites and found bed bugs. They also say the owner's reply seemed evasive.
It is a single opinion against many very positive ones, and it is old, so I would not take it as a picture of the house today. Even so, it is worth asking the owner directly how the bedrooms are checked and cleaned before each stay. These are other things to bear in mind.
- You will need a car. The house is secluded and I have no information on public transport.
- The cold. In winter there is heating, but the stove and the fireplace need a bit of know-how.
- Meals. The page does not mention breakfast, so plan on cooking for yourself.
Who Masía de Muñoz is for
I would choose it for groups of friends or families with children who want a whole house, with space and a garden. With six independent bedrooms, sharing out the beds is more comfortable than in many other country houses.
I would not recommend it to anyone looking for hotel services, a reception desk or breakfast served. Nor to a couple on their own who would prefer something small and cosy, because the house is large and is best enjoyed with company.
What to do around Mora de Rubielos
Mora de Rubielos is a good base for the interior of Teruel. The page mentions excursions and winter sports at the nearby ski resorts, and several guests enjoyed the village for buying local produce or having a drink.
If you want to compare other options in the area, see the Hotel 176 - El Azafrán in Teruel or the Molí d'en Pi country house in Morella.
