Arcos de la Frontera is the largest of the pueblos blancos, or white towns, at the entrance to the stunning Sierra de Cádiz. Nestled in one of the most picturesque and tranquil streets in the heart of the Old Quarter, our holiday rental forms part of a traditional Andalusian residence with Moorish roots, centered around a classic Andaluz patio. Whether you´re in search of a romantic retreat, a family holiday or a getaway with friends for a special occasion, Casa Vista Castillo offers comfortable accommodation with spectacular views, where future memories will be made. Conveniently located, the Old Quarter´s monuments, shops, bars and restaurants are just steps away, our semi-rural retreat promises fantastic views and a unique Andalusian experience.
Staying at Casa Vista Castillo offers an authentic glimpse into the rich culture of Spain. Arcos de la Frontera is steeped in history; its Old Quarter features winding whitewashed streets lined with charming Andalusian patio houses showcasing both Moorish and Jewish architectural styles, Gothic-Mudejar designs, elegant Renaissance palaces and Baroque churches reflecting the wealth of Spain’s former American Empire. Set upon a dramatic inland ridge of sandstone, Arcos de la Frontera proudly surveys its surrounding landscape, a testament to its historic military significance.
