Casa Rita, Morella Overview

Casa Rita is a countryside stay in La Pobla d'Alcolea, just outside Morella, Spain, with the address at C/Mayor 25. With a guest rating of 9.7/10 from 16 reviews, it’s the kind of place travellers mention for its calm atmosphere and practical comfort rather than flashy extras. Guests highlight the ease of settling in, including reliable WiFi and the convenience of free parking on site, which matters if you’re touring by car through the Maestrat region. Families and road-trippers also tend to appreciate the outdoors: there’s a terrace for slower mornings, heating for cooler evenings, and BBQ facilities for simple, social meals at home.
The layout suits small groups who want privacy, with non-smoking rooms and the day-to-day flexibility of a tour desk for planning hikes.

If you’re planning your route, Morella’s historic walls are about 12 km away, the Basilica of Santa María la Major sits roughly 12 km from the property, and the castle viewpoint is around 13 km. For walkers, the surrounding countryside is the main draw, and the hotel’s focus on hiking makes it a good base for exploring rural paths.
