Perched on the famous cliff-edge of historic Arcos de la Frontera, our unique 2 bedroom, self-catering duplex apartment is located in the heart of the Old Town and enjoys uninterrupted views of the town´s Moorish Castle (from which the house takes its name, Casa Vista Castillo), spectacular birdlife and surrounding countryside.
Forming part of a traditional Andalusian Patio House of Moorish origin, our apartment offers a large open plan sitting room/dining room/kitchen with hints of Al Andalus, 4 metre high ceilings with original beams from which hang 2 huge Moroccan lanterns. There is air-con, which doubles as a heater, in this area.
The private terrace is accessed via 2 French windows and offers breathtaking views of Arcos' Moorish castle, beautiful birdlife, the River Guadalete and orange groves below. No matter how many times we´ve seen it, the view always takes our breath away!
There are 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed on the ground floor, a twin bedroom with 2 single beds reached via a short spiral staircase and each has an electric ceramic wall panel for heating in the winter and fans in the summer. We provide a single sofa bed for a 5th guest in the sitting room area.
The property has free wifi.
The house offers a well equipped kitchen with ceramic hob and electric oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, small fridge freezer and washing machine. There is a hairdryer, iron and ironing board, clothes line and clothes horse and pegs.
The bathroom has a large walk-in shower, stylish basin and lavatory and electric towel rail...very useful in the cooler months. Here you´ll find your bath towels, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel.
We provide all bedding, bath towels and even beach towels in the summer.
The house is located in a pedestrianized street in the heart of the Old Quarter, and whilst quiet and private, lively bars and shops are literally a stone's throw away as are the historic monuments of the town.
Arcos itself makes a great base for exploring other parts of the region, with Ronda just 55 minutes drive away, the Sierra 30 minutes, Seville about 1 hour, Jerez de la Frontera just 25 minutes and Cadiz and the coast 45 minutes.
Parking in the Old Quarter is very restricted due to the ancient layout, certainly not built with the car in mind! We offer our guests the use of a guaranteed private car parking space at a cost of 7€ per day, which is approximately a 7-10 minute walk from the house. Please just let us know if you would like it in advance of your stay.
Named as '1000 Places To See Before You Die' in the bestselling Travel Guide by Patricia Schultz, make Arcos part of your travel itinerary.
We have been welcoming guests from around the world for many years.
We took a break from hosting during the Global Pandemic and then did some renovations to the house, but are now back up and running again!
We look forward to giving you a warm welcome to Casa Vista Castillo and to Arcos de la Frontera!
