Renovated 17th Century Townhouse, With Patio And Roof Terrace

Very spacious accommodation. It was clean, air conditioning worked very well and had that little Spanish town feel. Driving in old town is not for the faint of heart. Take advice of host and take the shuttle up first time to see where to go. Great views to be had of surrounding areas. Would definitely go back.

The location is wonderful once you figure out how to use the mini bus thru town! Driver was fun and on time ! We walked everywhere. House furnishings are beautiful! Would not recommend to anyone who cant do spiral staircase multiple times a day! RuHelpful to have

Our family's experience with Calle Bovedas 10 was excellent from booking to checkout. After our reservation was confirmed, Mark provided a comprehensive summary of local attractions along with detailed instructions for parking, taxi service, walking, and negotiating the narrow streets of this historic neighborhood. Upon arrival we were greeted by Beatriz with house keys and a walk-through of the property. It was clear that the house was very clean and tastefully decorated throughout. Beamed ceilings and brick floors combine with a well furnished kitchen, dining area, comfortable beds, and ample bathrooms to create a unique atmosphere.The rooftop was a wonderful place to enjoy coffee or cocktails on a nice day. Within a ten minute walk you will find historic churches, a wide range of restaurants, artisan shops, and stunning views (miradores). We left our rental car at the El Paseo parking garage and drove up to the house for passenger pickup or drop-off as needed. The first drive up the hill on narrow streets was challenging (in a 74-inch wide SUV), but I got used to the tight clearances quickly.Highly recommended if you are interested in exploring western Andalucia!

Living in the old town, way at the top, was an adventure - not for anyone looking for being surrounded by English speakers. The restored house was lovely, well furnished with a great kitchen/washer-dryer and updated bathrooms.A great fireplace for chilly February nights. Very good advice from owner about where to park our car (down below in underground parking), places to eat and things to do. House is surrounded by historic churches and a lovely Parador with a stunning, huge deck looking down over the valley and river. There is a free bus on the half hour that makes the climb up and down; walking up and down is an adventure on the impossibly narrow streets, but definitely memorable. We had stayed five years ago outside Rhonda, so we knew about the white villages, and went both to the coast and to some other white villages. Housekeeper very nice but speaks no English, but willing to look up words on her phone. We're glad we did this!

We were four adults needing 3 bedrooms. This apartment suited our needs perfectly. We loved the charm of the place and enjoyed walking all the unique streets of the town. It was great to have such a large kitchen and a washer and dryer. Mark was quick to respond to any questions as was the house keeper Beatrix. We parked in the parcade El Paseo approximately a 15 min walk from the apartment. I would recommend visiting Arcos de la Fronterra and renting this place.

Like most of the houses in the historic center of Arcos de la Frontera, this house looks like nothing from the outside. But you enter a large, lovely old home, with so many delightful decor details. The spiral staircase is fancy ironwork, narrow enough that even we as old people were comfortable using them. The windows have wooden doors and shutters that can be opened partially or fully depending on how much light or privacy you want. The kitchen is huge and ridiculously oversupplied with everything except maybe for baking. The ceilings were high and the temperature outside was cool, so we were most comfortable closing internal doors and just heating the room we were in (they heated quickly). These internal doors allowed us to modify the feeling of the house from very open to very cozy. As is probably obvious, we loved the house. All of the historic center was close and very walkable. We often used the little grocery store across the street, and fell in love with the Mercadona that was on the circuit of the minibus we used to get down the hill to our car in a parking garage. As suggested, we did not drive up to the house because the streets are narrow and there's no parking. However, the streets, though quite narrow in places, were driveable - the minibus managed it, after all. One could also walk down the hill to the parking garage, and we did this occasionally as the minibus stops early on Saturday and doesn't run on Sunday. Beatriz was super helpful

My wife & I are just back from a trip to Andalusia that included 2 nights in this wonderful property in Arcos de la Frontera. During the last 20+ years, we have probably stayed in 50 different VRBO properties. None of them were even remotely as nice as this one. The description and photos you see here are accurate, but understated. This place is amazing...everything from the location of the lighting and light switches to the attention to detail of what must have been a challenging modernization project to the expansiveness and drama of the space itself. And it is located just a few hundred feet away from the busiest parts of town...close enough to provide easy access, but far enough away to be removed from the hustle and bustle of the tourist attractions. The owner and the local property manager were helpful and readily available without being intrusive or demanding. We stayed during the busy Holy Week activities and it felt like all of it was happening in our neighborhood. We had access when we wanted it, but felt removed and cocooned when we retreated to the townhouse/apartment. I have no idea what other properties are offered in the heart of Arcos and at what price, but we encourage you to get this place if it is available and even close to within your budget. At the very least, you won' be disappointed. More likely, you will find -- as we did -- that it is the kind of accommodation that can significantly enhance your visit to this wonderful and interesting town.

We absolutely loved this beautiful house! It had old-world charm with all of the modern conveniences. The house is immaculate and spacious. The location is great, very close to eateries and tiny tourist shops. If I ever go back to Arcos de la Frontera, I won’t stay anywhere else!

The photos do not do justice to this fantastic, spacious house. It is absolutely gorgeous and extremely commodious. The architecture, the design and the art - all perfect. We were there during EXTREME heat which meant we ended up spending far more time in the house than we anticipated. Fortunately, it couldn't have been more comfortable. Unfortunately, we weren't able to take advantage of the outdoor patio and deck because of the heat. We were there in mid July to the first week in August. I don't blame the house for the weather! The town itself is wonderful. The ancient surroundings are fascinating. The residents couldn't be nicer and the restaurants are terrific. It's a very special property if you're looking for an unusually situated site. If I were to return to the area, I wouldn't hesitate to rent this gorgeous house again.

We (4 adults and 2 teenagers) have just returned from a long weekend in Arcos which was just not long enough to fully appreciate this amazing house. We loved how this house has been renovated retaining and emphasising so many unique features whilst feeling luxurious with the high spec fittings, 3 fab showers, comfortable beds, quality towels and bedding and all kitchen amenities. As we stayed in January we made more use of the living area with real fire rather than the stunning courtyard and roof Terrace, people used to walk past the windows and then double back to peer in as inside the house is just stunning. Just a short walk away from the main square and variety of tapas restaurants, we enjoyed all of them and as 2 of our party are vegetarian they commented that there was plenty of choice. We didn't find parking a problem as found space on street lower down and walked up, we did brave driving the car up to unload and it is quite tricky to navigate. In the summer we would take up the owners suggestion of using underground parking and catching minibus which drops you off almost opposite house. We visited Cadiz and Jerez and would definitely return to explore other places if possible staying here!
