Casa Vista Castillo: Unique Cliff-Edge House with Amazing 180º Views!
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!
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Fantastic Experience
We were looking for a place with a view, and Isabelle's home delivered that and so much more! The location was ideal for wandering around the old town, and using as a base for short trips. Isabelle thought of so many thoughtful and practical touches to make the home cosy and our stay delightful. She is a kind and helpful host.

Amazing location!
An apartment like no other, with a view that was a highlight of our three weeks in Spain. It’s rustic, to be sure, but clean, well-appointed and comfortable. Coffee on this deck in the morning, and a glass of wine at sunset made for an incomparable visit. Isabelle was terrific about helping us find our way through the maze of ancient streets, and even did a little grocery shopping for us before our late arrival. You won’t find a friendlier or more helpful VRBO host.

the perfect place to stay in Arcos de la Frontera
The apartment is charmingly decorated, spacious, well stocked with all amenities kitchen and bath, and the terrace has truly incredible views!! We loved hanging out on the terrace, dazzled by the historic sites and the beautiful countryside right out our door. I also recommend this place because Isabell was amazing. She helped us find great places to eat and drink, and assisted with the bus schedules since we were carless. She has so much of the local history to share, it was a delight to talk to her. If I go back to Spain I will absolutely stay here. Thank you Isabell and Marco.

Wonderful Home and Location!
Our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers) spend 3 nights and days at Isabelle & Marco's wonderful home. The stay was definitely one of the highlights of our 2 week trip to Andalusia. This historical home with it's thick stucco walls is in a perfect location as it is off of one of Arco's ancient, narrow, cobblestone streets and is on the edge of the cliff with beautiful views from the windows and terrace. The house is completely updated and is very comfortable and clean, the kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to cook a meal and it is wonderfully decorated There are many restaurants close by and a grocery store is just a short walk away. We spent our days walking through the narrow streets exploring the village, we walked along the path on the walkway below the cliff, and we bought cookies from the cloistered nuns at the convent just down the street. When we dropped in on Marco in their shop he was always generous with his time telling us all about Arcos and it's history. The description and pictures on the listing are very accurate. To think that before we stayed in Arcos de la Frontera we had never heard of it. We were so lucky to find this house. The 4 of us all agree, we would not have missed our stay here.

The perfect vacation home!
Sitting on the house's balcony on a high bluff overlooking Andalucia and its "white towns" sipping a glass of local wine while watching the river far below as a shepard moved his sheep back to their corral at sunset--there was no more perfect moment on our recent three week trip. We stayed here for a week and found the house itself very comfortable, clean and tidy--the owners extremely kind and helpful. The kitchen allowed us to cook some wonderful anchovies and sardines we bought at the nearby market, as an alternative to all the wonderful tapas spots nearby we sampled. Arcos is not the big city life found in Sevilla, but was exactly right for us.

Wonderful Hilltop Spot
We recently returned from our 3 day stay in Arcos. This was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip in Spain and Provence. Arcos is a wonderful village and this Holiday Home can not be beaten! It was perfect.
Arcos is a great "home base" for exploring Jerez, Sevilla, Rhonda and the Eastern Andalucian countryside. Highly recommend this.

Great locations, fantastic place, extremely helpful owners
Isabelle and Marco were incredibly helpful property owners from the very beginning. Upon booking, they e-mailed us a 15 page overview of Arcos, the house, how to get there, things to do, etc. It was a great wealth of information. On arriving, Isabelle met us at the town square guided us along the quaint streets to the house. The views from the house are simply amazing. We stayed for a week with our nine and seven year old children. We all loved the house, the view, the town, and the surrounding area. Their shop, Andulchic, is a short walk from the house. Isabelle and Marco speak fluent English which was a help for us. They were extremely helpful as we would drop by their shop looking for suggestions on where to eat. We would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to soak in an authentic experience in Andalucía.
Marcos and Isabella took us in hand, helped us park late at night, and left us to wake in this dreamworld! Beautiful vistas, wonderful neighborhood and an amazing experience. It was easy to come and go to any of the Frontera towns, Jerez and the ocean. You won't want to leave!

empfehlenswerte Wohnung in Toplage
Obwohl im Kern der Altstadt gelegen, ein absolut ruhiger Ort zum Entspannen, stilvoll und sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Isabelle versorgt dich mit allen Infos, die du für deinen Aufenthalt brauchst, und ist immer für dich da, wenn etwas fehlt.
