Those are links to rental properties not an official description of what determines a vivienda rural (or indeed an urban holiday rental) as distinct from a casa rural. What is needed, I think, is something definitive, preferably in English because I don't know about anyone else but my Spanish is not up to translating screeds of officialspeak.

Everyone can do there own research on there.
If you find the information useful then maybe consider a donation to the free service please. They do some great work on behalf on the non Spanish in this country.

I am very familiar with Citizens Advice Spain. Their site does not cover this issue of definitions in any detail other than to vaguely refer to casas rurales providing lodgings 'and additional services' and VTARs providing only lodgings, but then they imply that a VTAR may only be rented out for a total of three months in any year which is, to the best of my knowledge, incorrect and the case is that the VTAR may not offer a single continuous rental exceeding three months or it ceases to be a holiday let. Their note on this subject or poorly drafted and confusing, although it does provide links for fluent Spanish speakers. I have published this notice before:
