It was great to have all the space we got as we stayed in the apartment. Our son got his own room. It was nice to have access to the roof top terrace. Be aware that no breakfast is included. Guests have their breakfast at one of the cafés close by. We had breakfast at the Parador, which was a great experence, rather expensive, but worth the money.

Casa Campana is in an atmospheric and wonderful location next to an old church, right in the middle of the old quarter of Arcos. Our room was simple and cosy, leading on to a great roof terrace, perfect for chilling out and admiring the views. Our two night stay was very peaceful. Jim is a genuine and excellent host with a wealth of local knowledge. We would have stayed longer and hope to return!

The most magical part of our 7 week overseas trip was our stay at Casa Campana & Arcos de la Frontera.The warm welcome from Emma & her Family set the tone for our 4 day stay - nothing was too much trouble for them - help in finding where we had parked our car & then guiding us (very patiently) to a much better spot. help with local info, ice, washing - nothing was too much trouble. It was wonderful. Sitting, at the end of busy day of sightseeing, on the roof overlooking the most magnificent views then wandering down the meandering streets deciding where to have Dinner made Casa Campana just the perfect location. Arcos is ideally located within easy reach of Medina, Jerez, Gibralter, Tarifa, Cadiz - we had the most wonderful time touring the whole area.If you have time do the day trip to Tangiers - a real highlight for us!!!!.
We cannot rate Casa Campana highly enough (or Arcos as a destination) Thankyou so much for your wonderful accommodation & hospitality.

We travelled down to Arcos de la Frontera from Cordoba and stayed at Casa Campana for two nights. Getting there was interesting: the streets are very, very narrow and we followed our nat-nav right to the place, where we luckily got a parking space near the church that was free. If your car is massive and you’re not confident with the spatial parameters of it, then perhaps park in the big parking area near Santa Maria. We thought it was somewhat of an adventure and quite exciting though!

We were warmly welcomed by Emma who helped us park and get our bearings. We were shown around and recommended some places to eat breakfast at and some restaurants to try out for dinner. On the first night we popped a bottle of champagne and watched the moon rise from the top roof terrace area – wonderful. The roof terrace has a fantastic view – the church San Pedro is right next door and is beautiful. The small cobbled streets and winding roads were wonderful to explore and there weren’t too many tourists actually staying in Arcos at the time which was nice.

We tried a few places to eat and drink – Boabdil was a disaster and included me finding worms in my food – eat there at your own risk. The Italian there is great – we wouldn’t normally go to an Italian but the pizzas looked awesome – and were. Just make sure not to get the house wine and ask for something specifically. La Carcel was good for local tapas but very busy so get there early.

We also really enjoyed the walk around the town that Emma has put together – detailed pamphlet with really interesting information about the town.

Room: the room was simple, clean and comfortable with an en-suite shower/toilet room. There was a TV in the room which we didn’t use as well as coffee and tea making facilities which was a nice touch. The room opened onto a central courtyard (roof terrace) which had loungers and a higher roof terrace with a table and chairs.
There is no breakfast served at Casa Campana but there's a place that does tostadas down the road. Also, just to note, they only take cash here, no card facility, so if you haven't paid fully up front, don't forget to take cash. There is wireless internet but it didn't seem to work upstairs in our room or on the terrace - we sat at the top of the stairs to get a signal (internet wasn't that important to us so it wasn't a negative)

I would say that the only negative was that it was a bit noisy upstairs on the terrace and in our room from noise below in the house and sometimes from the church bells that go on all day – but we soon got used to that.

So all in all a lovely stay at Casa Campana – we would definitely come again, thank you for your warm hospitality.
