A villa is not renovated like a flat. Where a flat ends at the front door, a detached house keeps going: there’s the façade, the roof, the terrace, the garden and, very often, a pool. And all of it is part of the same project. The most expensive mistake we see across the Camp de Túria isn’t choosing the wrong material; it’s planning the interior on one side and the outdoor spaces on the other, then ending up digging the same trench twice or rebuilding an access route that was only just finished. At Batecs we have spent more than 35 years renovating villas in La Eliana, La Cañada, Bétera, San Antonio de Benagéber and across the whole region, and we know that the difference between a smooth project and a nightmare comes down to order and coordination.
That’s why we work with a single site manager who oversees every phase —assessment, interior, façade and outdoor spaces— in the right sequence. You don’t have to deal with a builder, a pool specialist, a gardener and an installer who never talk to each other: you make your decisions with one person, and that person makes sure each trade comes in at the right moment, without overlapping and without redoing work that’s already done.
Whether you’ve bought a villa to renovate from the ground up or you simply want to modernise the family home you’ve always had, this is the service that brings it all together: interior, building envelope and outdoor spaces, fully coordinated through to turnkey handover. And if the work is more extensive, take a look at our full home renovations too.
01 The complete project
What a villa renovation includes
A single project that brings interior and exterior together, for a coherent result from the façade to the pool —not a string of separate jobs done by different trades.
Complete interior
New layout, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, joinery and finishes, designed for a multi-storey home with plenty of space.
Services and climate
Plumbing, electrics, air-source heat pump and underfloor heating sized for a detached house, where energy loss is greater than in a flat.
Façade and envelope
Insulation, waterproofing, cladding and paint: the villa’s outer skin protects your investment and cuts energy costs.
Roof and tiling
We inspect and repair flat roofs, pitched roofs and downpipes before touching the interior: one leak ruins any new finish.
Pool and outdoor spaces
Pool, terrace, porch and garden, coordinated with the interior and with each other so we never break up freshly laid paving.
Interior design and finishes
Wood, natural stone, layered lighting and design details for a villa with a timeless Mediterranean feel.
Only want to renovate one part? We have dedicated pages for kitchen renovations and bathroom renovations, and if your focus is building or rebuilding the pool itself, take a look at swimming pool construction.
The villa difference
Indoor-outdoor flow: what sets a great villa apart
Life in a villa happens, for much of the year, outside. That’s why what truly transforms a detached home isn’t just a new kitchen, but erasing the boundary between inside and out. Letting the living room flow onto the terrace, the kitchen look out over the pool, the indoor floor and the porch speak the same language. It’s the detail that separates a renovated villa from one that has simply been repainted.
Wide openings and a single floor level
Achieving that flow means widening the openings onto the garden —large picture windows or sliding doors that disappear into the wall— and choosing floors that carry through from the living room to the terrace in the same tone and on a continuous level, with no steps to break the transition. A porcelain tile suitable for both indoor and outdoor use solves both areas with a single material and minimal upkeep.
The pool as part of the house, not an afterthought
In a villa, the pool isn’t a piece of furniture you drop in at the end: it shapes access routes, paving, services and views. Planning it alongside the interior lets you align the living room with the water, allow for the plant room and lay non-slip poolside paving coordinated with the rest. You’ll see it in our swimming pool construction work.
Shade, orientation and daytime zones
The Valencia sun is a gift and a problem in equal measure. A good villa project handles shade with pergolas, porches and well-placed planting, orients the daytime areas to make the most of the light without overheating the home, and creates outdoor spots that actually get used. It’s not decoration: it’s what makes the house something you live in all year round.
02 Your villa
Find your situation
Every villa starts from a different place. These are the most common scenarios across the residential estates of Valencia and the Camp de Túria; click the one that looks most like yours.
1980s-90s villa
An estate home with good square footage but a closed-off layout and worn-out services. The challenge: open up, insulate and modernise.
Villa with an old pool
Outdoor spaces that matter as much as the house. The challenge: renew the pool, paving and terrace alongside the interior, without doing it twice.
High-end villa
A spacious home where you want home automation, a heat pump and fine materials. The challenge: coordinate many trades with a flawless finish.
Townhouse or semi-detached
Less garden, same approach. The challenge: create flow with a small patio or terrace and make the most of every outdoor metre.
03 The premium method
The right order means you don’t pay twice
In a villa, order is everything. First the assessment of structure, roof and services, because there’s no point in a beautiful living room beneath a leaking roof. Then the interior works and the building envelope. And finally the outdoor spaces and the pool, once the bulk of the machinery and rubble can no longer spoil freshly laid paving.
Skipping that sequence is the source of almost every overrun people tell us about: a trench for the pool that cuts across an already-planted garden, a finished terrace that has to be lifted to run a pipe, a paved access route that a machine then has to drive over. A single site manager overseeing the phases stops one trade from undoing another’s work and keeps the budget and timeline under control from start to finish.
04 The investment
How much does it cost to renovate a villa in Valencia
No two villas are the same, but there are market ranges that help you get your bearings before requesting a quote. These are indicative and refer to the interior and building envelope; the outdoor spaces and the pool are quoted separately.
| Level of renovation | Indicative price | What it usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh (mid-range) | ≈ €700-1,100/m² | Interior renewal, new services, full bathrooms and kitchen, joinery, basic insulation and good finishes. |
| High-end full renovation | ≈ €1,100-1,700+/m² | Complete reconfiguration, home automation, heat pump and underfloor heating, fine materials and bespoke interior design throughout. |
| Outdoor spaces (terrace, garden, pool) | Quoted separately | Built pool, non-slip paving, pergolas, irrigation and landscaping: priced separately according to area and scope. |
Indicative market ranges for Valencia in 2026, for reference only. They do not constitute a quote or an offer. As a hypothetical example, a 200 m² mid-range villa would be in the region of €140,000-220,000 for the interior and envelope, on top of which the outdoor spaces would be added. The actual cost depends on your home.
What affects the price
In a villa the price depends on the floor area (these tend to be large, multi-storey homes), the starting condition of the structure and roof, the scope of the building envelope (insulation and façade, which count for more than in a flat) and, above all, the outdoor spaces: a built pool or a full garden can be as significant a line item as an entire floor of the house.
That’s why we prefer to give you a fixed price after a site visit, with itemised costs and the outdoor spaces quoted separately, rather than a price per square metre that later doesn’t match your villa. That way you know from day one exactly what you’ll pay.
Getting the most from your budget
How to invest wisely in a villa without runaway costs
In a large home, every decision is multiplied across many square metres, so getting the important things right saves a great deal of money. After 35 years working on villas in the area, here’s what we tend to recommend to anyone who wants a great result without overspending.
Don’t cut corners on the building envelope. Façade and roof insulation, terrace waterproofing and the pool shell are the villa’s «invisible structure». Saving there is the most expensive mistake in the medium term: a leak forces you to lift freshly paid-for paving or tiling, and poor insulation shows up every month on your heating and cooling bills.
You can adjust on finishes and outdoor furniture. Today there are porcelain tiles, joinery and pergola solutions that offer excellent value for money. And you can always set aside a treat —a special cladding, an outdoor kitchen— for a second phase, as long as the project allows for it.
Renovating in phases is perfectly valid. In a villa, the usual approach is to prioritise the interior and services now and leave the pool or garden for later. The key is for the project to allow for it, so you don’t break up finished work during the second phase.

05 The Batecs method
How we run your villa renovation
From assessment to turnkey handover, with a single point of contact for both interior and outdoor spaces.
Visit and assessment
We review the home’s structure, roof, services and outdoor spaces, and listen to how you want to live in it.
Project and proposal
We define the scope, quality levels and phases, with a fixed, itemised price and interior and outdoor spaces kept separate.
Licences and permits
We handle the paperwork required by your council, including the pool, which almost always needs its own permit.
Coordinated execution
Interior, envelope and outdoor spaces in the right order, with our own in-house team and a single site manager.
Quality control
We supervise every phase and keep in constant contact with you throughout the works.
Turnkey handover
We check the finishes inside and out and hand over the villa clean and ready to enjoy.
The goal of all this coordination is just one thing: that no trade undoes another’s work and that the house —and its surroundings— are finished together, with no lingering, never-ending jobs left over.
06 The decision
A single site manager vs. hiring separate trades
In a villa, with so many fronts open at once, the difference isn’t the hourly rate, but who takes responsibility for making it all fit together.
You coordinate inside and out
- The builder, the pool specialist and the gardener don’t talk to each other.
- Trenches and access routes get redone because nobody planned for them.
- If something goes wrong, each trade blames the one before.
- The outdoor spaces are left half-finished when the budget runs out.
- Hard to know the total cost of the whole job until the end.
We take responsibility for the whole
- A single point of responsibility for interior, façade and outdoor spaces.
- The phases in the right order, without digging twice.
- One fixed price, with the outdoor spaces itemised.
- The house and its surroundings are handed over finished together.
- You know the total cost from day one.
07 Real projects
Villa renovation projects
A taste of the kind of detached homes we transform completely across the residential estates of Valencia and the Camp de Túria.
Mediterranean stone villa
Full renovation of a villa clad in natural stone: ground-floor reconfiguration, new services and upgraded insulation. We aimed for a timeless Mediterranean feel and left the villa bright and low-maintenance.
Outdoor spaces with a renewed pool
Renewal of the pool surroundings coordinated with the interior works: waterproofed shell, non-slip poolside paving and a porch with a wooden pergola. We unified the terrace floor with the interior for a seamless transition.
Porch and outdoor daytime area
Creation of an open-air daytime area with a pergola and timber beams, integrated with the living room through large openings. The family gained an outdoor space they genuinely use for most of the year, with shade and flow out to the garden.
These works belong to the portfolio of a villa renovated by Batecs on a local estate —the likes of Mas Camarena, La Cañada, Campolivar, Santa Bárbara, Torre en Conill or El Plantío. You can see more in our gallery of projects.
08 Quality levels
Materials and finishes for a villa
We advise you so that every material brings something —not only looks, but also durability and low upkeep in a home that’s heavily exposed to the elements.
Stone and wood
Natural stone cladding, treated timber beams and pergolas: the Mediterranean language that ages best in a villa.
Continuous flooring
Large-format porcelain suitable for indoors and out, carrying the living-room floor through to the terrace with no change of material.
Heat pump and climate
Air-source heat pump, underfloor heating and ducted air for a large home that’s efficient and comfortable all year round.
Joinery and openings
Large windows and sliding doors with thermal break: more light, better insulation and flow out to the garden.
Outdoors and pool
Non-slip paving, pool shells clad in porcelain or glass mosaic, and poolside areas designed for everyday use.
Lighting
Layered lighting design indoors and out —general, task and ambient— so the villa looks its best at any time of day.
More than looks
The villa that also saves
A villa loses more energy than a flat, quite simply because it has more surface area in contact with the outside: four façades, its own roof and many openings. That, which you feel on your bills in both winter and summer, is also the biggest opportunity for improvement. And a renovation is the perfect moment to seize it, because everything is open.
Reinforcing the insulation of the façade and roof, replacing joinery with thermal-break frames and double glazing, and swapping old boilers for an air-source heat pump and underfloor heating noticeably reduces heating and cooling costs. In a detached home, where there are more square metres to heat and cool, the savings built up over the years far exceed those of a flat.
It’s not about spending more, but about investing where it really shows: in comfort, in quiet and in lower bills. We’ll advise you on which improvements make sense in your villa and which you can leave for a second phase. You’ll see this reflected too in our approach to painting and interior design, where comfort and aesthetics go hand in hand.
09 Before you start
Mistakes worth avoiding when renovating a villa
- Planning the interior and the outdoor spaces separately, and digging the same trench twice.
- Renovating the interior without first checking the roof and the façade for leaks.
- Leaving the pool and garden until last without allowing for them in the project.
- Cutting back on insulation and waterproofing, which are the most expensive things to redo.
- Hiring separate trades with no one to coordinate inside and out.
- Forgetting that the pool usually needs its own council permit.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about villa renovations
How much does it cost to renovate a villa in Valencia?
As an indicative market reference, the interior and building envelope usually fall between ≈€700-1,100/m² for a mid-range renovation and €1,100-1,700/m² or more for a high-end project with home automation, a heat pump and fine materials. The outdoor spaces (terrace, garden and pool) are quoted separately. As a hypothetical example, a 200 m² mid-range villa would be in the region of €140,000-220,000 for the interior, plus outdoor spaces. After a site visit we provide a fixed, itemised quote.
Do you handle the pool and outdoor spaces too?
Yes, and it’s one of our specialities. We coordinate the pool, terrace, porch and garden alongside the interior works, in the right order, so there’s no need to dig the same trench twice or break up freshly laid paving. The outdoor spaces are priced as a separate line item within the same quote.
Why renovate the interior and outdoor spaces as a single project?
Because a villa’s services, access routes and paving cross over between inside and out. If you plan the interior on one side and the pool on the other, you end up lifting a finished terrace to run a pipe or cutting a trench across an already-planted garden. Designing it all together avoids those overruns and achieves the indoor-outdoor flow that truly transforms the home.
How long does a villa renovation take?
It depends on the floor area and scope, but a medium-sized villa with interior and outdoor spaces usually takes between 12 and 20 weeks. In the proposal we give you a phased schedule with realistic timelines that we keep to during the works, coordinating interior, envelope and outdoor spaces to hand everything over together.
Do I need a licence to renovate the villa and for the pool?
Most villa renovations require a licence or a responsible declaration depending on the council, and the pool almost always needs its own permit. We advise you and handle the necessary paperwork so the whole project is fully compliant. Licensing information is indicative: it’s best confirmed with the relevant town hall.
Can I live in the villa during the works?
It depends on the scope. In a full renovation of the entire home it’s usually not advisable, but with villas it’s more feasible to work in phases or floor by floor and keep liveable areas, especially if the outdoor spaces are done last. We assess this with you during the visit to keep disruption to a minimum.
Do you work on my estate in the Camp de Túria?
Yes. We renovate villas daily on estates in La Eliana, La Cañada, San Antonio de Benagéber, Bétera, Godella, Rocafort, Llíria and the surrounding area, the likes of Mas Camarena, Campolivar, Santa Bárbara, Torre en Conill or El Plantío. We know the villa types of the area and each council’s regulations.
Is it worth improving the villa’s energy efficiency?
In a villa, very much so. As it has more surface area in contact with the outside than a flat, it loses more energy, so improving façade and roof insulation, replacing the joinery and installing a heat pump shows up every month on your bills. And the renovation is the best moment to do it, because everything is open. We’ll tell you which improvements make sense in your case.
Do you do high-end villas with home automation and premium materials?
Yes. We work on high-end homes with home automation, a heat pump, underfloor heating, fine materials and bespoke interior design. The key in these projects is coordination: many trades working at once with a flawless finish, under a single manager who makes sure it all fits together.
What guarantee does the villa renovation carry?
We stand behind the work carried out and the materials in accordance with current regulations. And because we use our own in-house team, any later adjustment —inside or out— we resolve ourselves, without passing you on to third parties.
Which areas do you renovate villas in?
In the city of Valencia, La Eliana and every municipality in the Camp de Túria and l’Horta Nord: La Cañada, San Antonio de Benagéber, Bétera, Godella, Rocafort, Llíria, Paterna, Riba-roja and the surrounding area.
In short
A villa renovation in Valencia renews the detached home in full —interior, façade, roof, terrace, garden and pool— as a single project, under one manager and with a fixed price. At Batecs we carry it out with our own in-house team, looking after the indoor-outdoor flow and energy efficiency, and we hand it over turnkey, ready to enjoy.
As an indicative market reference, the interior and envelope usually fall between ≈€700-1,100/m² (mid-range) and €1,100-1,700/m² (high-end); the outdoor spaces and the pool are quoted separately. We set the actual price for your villa after a site visit, with no surprises.
