Full home renovations in Cheste · 35 years in the Hoya de Buñol
Full home renovations in Cheste, from the old town to the country house with land
Cheste is a town of wine and calm, in the Hoya de Buñol and right beside the A-3. Here the grand houses of the old quarter sit alongside the villas and country houses scattered across the municipality. We renovate both kinds — interior, façade, outdoor areas and pool — with a single person in charge of the works and a fixed written quote, from our base in La Eliana, just up the road.

Cheste is a town in the Hoya de Buñol (Foia de Bunyol), inland in the province, about 26 kilometres from Valencia and very well connected to the city by the A-3. It is a town with a farming and, above all, wine-making tradition: the Cheste Agraria cooperative, one of the oldest in Spain, has been producing wine for over a century — famous for its Moscatel — and that culture of the land and the bodega shows in the unhurried way people live in and inhabit their homes. Many people here also know the town for the Circuito Ricardo Tormo, but day-to-day life runs along different lines: the family homes that get renovated so people can stay in them.
That history has left two very different kinds of home, and that completely changes a renovation. On one hand there is the old town, with several-storey townhouses and the odd grand house from the late nineteenth century, with thick walls, courtyards and high ceilings, which call for modernising without losing their character. On the other, outside the town centre, there is plenty of scattered housing: villas and country houses on their own plots, with a garden, a porch and, in many cases, a pool, built up over the decades and with services and outdoor areas that today fall short.
That is where we fit in. We work in Cheste from La Eliana, a short trip away, which lets us come over to look at your home and coordinate the works close up. We renovate both the townhouse in the old quarter and the villa with land on the outskirts, from the inside out and on a turnkey basis, with our own in-house team and a fixed price. No nasty surprises on the invoice, and a single person who answers to you from start to finish.
01 What we do here
Renovation services in Cheste
From the townhouse in the old quarter to the villa with a pool on the outskirts, we cover the whole renovation of your home in Cheste, interior and outdoor areas included.
Full home renovations
We renovate the whole home: new layout, new services, bathrooms, kitchen and finishes, in a single turnkey project with a fixed price.
Villa renovations
A house with land, garage and garden in the scattered housing around Cheste: we bring the interior, façade and outdoor areas up to date so the house opens out again.
Swimming pool construction
A brand-new pool or a renovation of the one you already have, with a waterproofed shell and its surrounding terrace, to make the most of the larger plots on the outskirts.
Kitchen renovations
The kitchen as the heart of the home: we give it more light and order, opened up to the dining area in the townhouse or linked to the terrace in the villa.
Bathroom renovations
Practical, well-finished bathrooms, swapping the bathtub for a shower where it makes sense, with a made-to-measure screen and ventilation that keeps damp at bay down the line.
Partial renovations
When you would rather go in phases or only touch one area: we renovate a floor, a room or the services without turning the whole house upside down at once.
If you are not sure which scope suits you, we will work it out together at the site visit and tell you straight, even if it turns out to be less work than you expected. We do not sell more renovation than you need.
02 What changes here
What is particular about renovating in Cheste
In Cheste the starting point is set by where the house is: a home wedged into the old town is not the same as a detached villa on its own plot, out on the outskirts. These are the issues that weigh most when planning the works and the budget in the town.
The townhouse in the old quarter
The centre of Cheste is made up of several-storey houses, between party walls and with narrow façades, some with the solidity of the late-nineteenth-century grand houses. They have their charm — thick walls, an inner courtyard, high ceilings — but also the usual things with old construction: worn-out services, awkward staircases, little natural light towards the back and, at times, rising damp on the ground floor. Here the renovation is about modernising without erasing the character: rearranging the floor plan so light comes in, bringing back the courtyard as the lungs of the house and thoroughly renewing the plumbing and wiring, while keeping what is genuinely worth preserving.
The villa and the country house on a plot
Outside the town centre, a good share of the homes are villas and country houses in scattered housing, with a garden, a porch and a pool. These are houses lived towards the outside, so we plan them so the interior carries on out onto the terrace: large openings towards the garden, a kitchen connected to the living area and outdoor areas in proper condition. Being detached, it is also worth using the works to improve the insulation, change the windows and review how the utilities arrive, since some country houses rely on a tank or on private networks.
Permits and works done by the book
Any renovation of a certain size in Cheste goes through its formalities with the Cheste Town Hall: a renovation that does not touch the structure or the façade is usually resolved with a responsible declaration or a works notification, whereas moving load-bearing walls, working on the façade or acting on scattered housing calls for more paperwork and it is best to start from the real situation of the house. We advise you on what your home allows and we take care of the documentation, so the works end up done and by the book.
03 Your home in Cheste
Choose your case
Every house in Cheste starts from a different situation. Click the case that most resembles yours.
House in the old town
A home between party walls in the centre. The challenge: bring light to the back, recover the courtyard and renew the services without losing its essence.
Villa on a plot
A country house or villa in the scattered housing. The challenge: bring the interior, façade and outdoor areas up to date and improve the insulation.
Outdoor areas and pool
Garden, porch and pool making the most of the plot. The challenge: waterproof, pave and tie it all together with the interior.
Kitchen or bathroom
Renovating just one room. The challenge: make the most of the space you have and choose materials that hold up to years of use.
04 Investment
How much a full renovation costs in Cheste
No two houses are the same, least of all between a home in the old quarter and a villa on a plot. These market ranges are indicative: we set the real figure after the site visit, with the line items in writing.
| Level of renovation | Indicative price | What it usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh (basic range) | ≈ €400-650/m² | Renewal of finishes, painting, flooring and a touch-up of the bathroom and kitchen, without major layout changes. |
| Mid-range renovation | ≈ €650-950/m² | Layout changes, new services, complete bathrooms and kitchen, joinery, improved insulation and good finishes. |
| High-end / premium full renovation | ≈ €950-1,500+/m² | Complete redistribution, aerothermal systems, outdoor areas and pool, high-end materials and bespoke interior design. |
Indicative market ranges in Cheste and the Hoya de Buñol for 2026, by way of reference. They do not constitute a quote or an offer. As a hypothetical example, a 160 m² mid-range villa would be around €104,000-152,000, and a 110 m² basic-to-mid-range townhouse would be around €55,000-90,000; the real cost depends on your home, its condition and the finishes you choose.
What affects the price
The cost is driven above all by the floor area and the number of storeys, the starting condition (an old house in the old quarter needs more preparatory work than a 1990s villa), the scope of the changes to the layout and services, whether or not the outdoor areas — garden, terrace and pool — are included, and the level of finishes. With scattered housing, how the utilities arrive and what formalities the works require also add up.
With so many differences between a house in the old quarter and a villa on a plot, a generic figure is of little use in Cheste. We come to your home, measure it and hand you an itemised quote, clear and in writing, so you know from day one what every euro includes and there are no surprises halfway through the works.

06 Real projects in the area
Renovations in Cheste and its surroundings
A sample of the kind of homes we transform in Cheste and the surrounding towns, inside and out.
Renovated house with land
A representative project in the area: a house with land renovated from top to bottom. We joined the kitchen and living room into an open-plan ground floor that opens onto the garden, renewed the services and dressed the façade in natural stone. A brighter, more comfortable, low-maintenance home.
Open-plan kitchen with an island
A representative project in the area: a kitchen open to the dining area with a central island, plenty of storage and layered lighting. We completely renewed the plumbing and wiring and left a space that is at once a kitchen, a dining table and a sitting area.
A modern, hard-wearing bathroom
A representative project in the area: a complete bathroom renovation with a large shower, a screen, a wall-hung basin and dark-toned tiling. We took care of the ventilation to avoid damp and chose materials meant to spare you another renovation for years.
You can see more finished work in our gallery of projects and in the portfolio of villa renovations, with kitchens, bathrooms and complete houses.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about renovations in Cheste
Do you renovate houses in the old quarter of Cheste?
Yes, it is one of our regular jobs here. We work on the townhouses in the centre, between party walls and with narrow façades, including the grander ones. The aim is to modernise them without losing their character: we rearrange the floor plan so light comes in, recover the inner courtyard and thoroughly renew the plumbing and wiring. Before touching anything we look at the structure and the damp, because with old construction you have to start from the reality of the house.
What kinds of renovation do you do in Cheste?
All of them: full renovations of townhouses and villas, kitchens, bathrooms, pool construction and renovation, outdoor areas, efficiency improvements and partial renovations in phases. We tailor the scope to what your home genuinely needs, no more and no less, both in the old quarter and in the country houses across the municipality.
Do you also work on the villas and country houses across the municipality?
Yes, and it is a good part of what we do in Cheste. In the scattered housing we renovate homes with land, a garden and a pool: we bring the interior, façade and outdoor areas up to date, improve the insulation since they are detached and review how the utilities arrive, which sometimes rely on a tank or a private network. Doing it all in a single job avoids repeated work and poor coordination between trades.
Do you handle the pool and the outdoor areas?
Yes, and it is best to fold it into the same job. In a house with land in Cheste the garden, the porch and the pool are part of the project: non-slip paving, waterproofing the shell, switching the pool from glass mosaic to porcelain tiling or a brand-new pool. We plan it in continuity with the interior so the house can be lived towards the outside during the warm months, of which there are many here.
Do I need a permit to renovate in Cheste, and do you take care of it?
It depends on the scope. A renovation that does not touch the structure or the façade is usually resolved with a responsible declaration or a works notification at the Cheste Town Hall; moving load-bearing walls, working on the façade or acting on scattered housing requires more formalities. We advise you depending on the case and handle the necessary documentation so the works end up by the book.
How much does a full renovation cost in Cheste?
As an indicative market reference, it usually runs from around €400-650/m² for a refresh of finishes to €950-1,500/m² or more in the high-end range with outdoor areas, a pool and efficiency improvements. It depends on the floor area, the starting condition and the finishes, and on whether we are talking about a house in the old quarter or a villa on a plot. After the site visit we hand over a fixed quote itemised in detail.
How long does a renovation take in Cheste?
It varies with the size and the scope. As a guide, a medium-sized townhouse is usually between 8 and 12 weeks, and a villa with outdoor areas can stretch to 12-16 weeks or a little more if the pool is included. In the proposal we give you a phased plan with realistic timescales that we then stick to during the works.
Are you near Cheste?
Yes. We are based in La Eliana, a short trip away by road, and we regularly work across inland Valencia and the Hoya de Buñol. That closeness means quick visits, realistic timescales and works we follow closely from start to finish.
In short
Cheste is a wine-making town in the Hoya de Buñol, beside the A-3 and a stone’s throw from Valencia, where the old quarter of townhouses and grand houses sits alongside many villas and country houses on their own plots scattered across the municipality. We renovate both kinds from the inside out — layout, services, bathrooms, kitchen, façade, outdoor areas and pool — leaving the works by the book with the Town Hall. We do it with an in-house team, a single person in charge of the works and a fixed quote, from our base in La Eliana, and we hand it over turnkey.
As an indicative market reference, a renovation in Cheste usually runs between ≈€400-650/m² (refresh) and €950-1,500/m² (high-end with outdoor areas and efficiency). We set the real price after the site visit, with no surprises.
