Yes, and it works well. The route from Valencia passes through or near several towns worth a short stop — Alzira and Xàtiva sit in the same corridor, so combining them on a single day trip is practical rather than ambitious. With a private transfer you can build these stops into your itinerary in advance, setting your own timing at each location rather than working around bus or train schedules.
Xàtiva is approximately 65 km (40 miles) from Valencia. By private transfer the journey typically takes around 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, making it one of the most accessible day trip destinations in the region. Trains also run regularly from Valencia Nord station and take a similar amount of time, though a private transfer gets you directly from your accommodation to the town without station waits or connections.
Plan for around 4 to 6 hours on the ground to do the destination justice. The castle alone warrants at least 90 minutes — it is larger than it looks from below, with towers, gardens, and viewpoints spread along the ridge. Factor in the old town walk, a visit to the Museu de l'Almodí, and a long lunch at a local restaurant. Xàtiva rewards a relaxed pace rather than a rushed tick-box tour.
The old town itself is walkable and largely flat, but reaching the castle requires a sustained uphill walk of 20 to 30 minutes, or use of a seasonal tourist vehicle that runs from near the town center. Families with children who can manage the climb will find the castle highly rewarding — it has genuine fortress atmosphere rather than a sanitized museum feel. Travelers with limited mobility can still enjoy the fountains, the collegiate church, and the town's main streets without attempting the ascent.
The castle sits high above town, which means getting around involves a meaningful uphill walk or a seasonal shuttle. A private transfer drops you directly in town, and your driver can advise on the best drop-off point for the castle route. This matters more than it might seem — arriving at the right entry point saves time and energy before a climb. Traveling by train means navigating the uphill section independently from the station.
Xàtiva punches well above its size. The hilltop castle is one of the most impressive in the Valencia region, stretching across a ridge with sweeping views over the surrounding plains. The old town below is compact but rich — Romanesque fountains, a collegiate church, and a notable fine arts museum that holds a famous upside-down portrait of Philip V (hung as revenge for the king burning the city in 1707). It is the kind of place where history feels tangible rather than curated, and a day is genuinely enough to take it all in without rushing.
