Interesting Places
Arcos de la Frontera is one of the prettiest villages in Spain, situated at the top of a high rock on wich are perched a mass of white houses as well as an Arab medieval castle suggesting the magnificent past of such a romantic and legendary town wich belonged to the Arab Qora Court of Medina Sidonia.
The town, declared a National Monument of Tourist Interest, has an artistic and historical old quarter on the edge of an impressive rock overlooking the Guadalete river.Thus, Arcos can be considered one of the most beatiful towns in Spain.
Typical andalousian house, built in the purest Arcos style, whittewashed walls, wrought ironwork windows, ocher roof tiles, flowerpots on the ledges and a beutiful central courtyard, furnished with coffe-tables and chairs and plenty of plants.
In the heart of the historical and artistic old town of Arcos, part of the Cloister Convent of Nuns was transformed into the Hotel El Convento.
In this peaceful place, amongst churches, palaces and other interesting buildings, our guests enjoy the serenity of the town´s ancient beauty, a monument to light.
Arcos de la Frontera is located at 80 km from Seville and is an ideal spot for relaxation, anjoying the beauty of the surrounding countryside: the Doñana Nature Reserve, the Grazalema National Park, the Beaches of Cádiz, the wine cellars of Jerez and its famous School of Equestrian Art.
Here you can admire the fine breeding of wild bulls and horses of pure Spanish blood, experience Easter week in Andalusia, the Carnivals in Cadiz or enjoy the differente Flamenco fairs and festivals, each eith an unique artistic expression which has made Spain famous throughout the world.
Arcos de la Frontera, designated as a Historic Artistic Monument in 1962, still retains the narrow, winding streets of its arabic tradition whilst the palatial houses are evidence of the important influence of the Castillian aristocracy.
De encanto tiene poco. Me toco una habitación a pie de calle donde escuchaba las motos, las voces de la gente y los coches pasar. Vamos, que paz desde luego ahí, muy poca. La habitación poco espaciosa y la higinie brillaba por su ausencia. Las toallas del baño estaban llenas de pelos y el plato de ducha no estaba limpio,aun estaban los botes de jabón vacios que habían usado los anteriores usuarios!
El precio es muy caro para lo que ofrece, en Cádiz hay sitios mucho mejores y encima con tarifas

Owner’s reply Es muy extraño este comentario, lo más importante para nosotros es la limpieza y el cuidado en cada detalle Pero lo más extraño es que nadie que se alojó en esos días lleva ese nombre. No hemos tenido ninguna queja de ningún cliente que se haya alojado en esos días en la casa...Desde luego, que si algo así hubiera ocurrido, me hubieran dicho algo, siempre le pregunto a los clientes cómo han estado y todo el mundo estuvo contento ... Con respecto a las voces de la gente,estamos en el ... more
La casa está fenomenal. Es un remanso de paz y más aun si tienes la suerte de algún día dormirte escucando las notas de una guitarra. Cecilia es una anfitriona excepcional y Arcos un pueblo precioso. Unicamente un "pero" al pueblo (no a la casa), Es incómodo para aparcar tu propio coche, y desde la zona de aparcamiento hasta la casa hay unos 500m cuesta arriba. Aun así en diez días todos ellos encontré aparcamiento. Muy bien.
Un lugar muy acogedor.,
