Isabelle's lovely place in Arcos is one of the best rentals that we've ever stayed in. Just the jaw-dropping scenery viewed from the patio is enough to rate this place as a 10! With views of the castle and fields below, coffee on the patio started our days. Isabelle is the best communicator ever! Any time we had a question, she responded right away. She met us at the plaza close to her house to help us navigate the charming backstreets to find the apartment and the parking garage. She also offered many suggestions on restaruants, shops, and things to do in the area. We had a car so did day trips to Cadiz, Sevilla, and Gibrater. Highly recommend doing all three day trips, but Cadiz was our favorite with fewer crowds and cooler temperatures.The apartment is very comfortable with enough kitchen equipment, applicances, pans, and dishes to cook in if you want. We cooked on several occasions (bought food at local shops in Old Town as well as the big grocery store (Mercadona) below the town. A plus for us was the washing machine in the kitchen and a clothes line on the patio. The AC was also a welcome addition, which we used in the late afternoons until we could open the windows and let in the cool night air.There are several cafes close by and we recommend Mason Don Fernando. The two waiters were so fun and always recognized us when we walked by. It was like we were old friends.Highly, highly recommend and hope to return some day.

Fantastic views and a really nice rustic house.

We loved the house for its amazing views and the unusual birds we saw. We also enjoyed it for its Spanish character and quirkiness. Isabelle recommended cafes for evening meals and we soon had a favourite. They all were a 5 or 10 minute walk away with good Spanish menus. Lots of small local shops too. Isabelle was a wonderful host, helping us with luggage and parking.

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.
