Description of holiday house in Arcos de la Frontera, Andalucia

Staying in our unique holiday house will give you a taste of the real Spain; set in one of Arcos' prettiest and quietest streets, the house forms part of an Andalusian style residence of Moorish character with a typical central patio.

Enjoy sunsets from your private terrace, spacious and lofty living accommodation, a well equipped kitchen and stunning views from each of the two bedrooms. The house has the advantage of being both very private and quiet and yet everything is on your doorstep!

The holiday rental is well placed for local amenities such as banks, restaurants, bars and shops. Lazy summer days can be spent either at one of the many and unspoilt beaches on the Costa de la Luz or by a nearby salt water pool set in Arcos' beautiful countryside - and one of her best kept secrets!

Arcos is easy to reach, the nearest airports being Jerez de la Frontera, just 20 minutes away, Seville, 1,2 hours away, Gibraltar, 1.2 hours away or Malaga, 2.5 hours.

Arcos is also perfectly placed to discover Cadiz Province and beyond, with most places of interest just an hour away or less, from the idyllic beaches of the Costa de la Luz (30-40 mins), Cadiz (40 mins), the sherry town of Jerez de la Frontera (20 mins), the flamboyance of Seville (60 mins) as well as the tranquility of the hill-top White Towns (including Ronda, 55 mins) and spectacular scenery of the Sierras (20 miins), "a tonic for the soul".

Arcos lives and breathes her history; her Old Quarter is a maze of narrow winding whitewashed streets, lined with Andalusian patio houses in both the Moorish and Jewish styles, Gothic-Mudejar architecture as well as fabulous Renaissance Palaces built off the riches of Spains once great Amercian Empire.

Perched dramatically on an in-land ridge of sandstone, Arcos stands proud above the surrounding countryside, her hill-top position giving away an important military past.

And so you know that we are not alone in our estimation, Arcos is named as one of the "1000 Places to See Before You Die" in the best-selling travel guide by Patricia Schultz.

Arcos de la Frontera is a place that captures the imagination and stays in the memory long after your visit.

We have had the pleasure of welcoming hundreds of visitors from all over the world, from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Africa, UK, France, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, Norway and Spain and we hope to welcome many more.
