Hotel La Casa del Califa de Vejer

This is the most unique boutique hotel we've had the pleasure of experiencing in Spain. This was our 2nd time visiting and we brought our adult children. They were impressed with Casa del Califa's warm Moroccan vibe. The rooms are stunning, each with its own personality. The restaurant features an amazing Mediterranean & Moroccan menu. The dishes are mouthwatering. The included breakfasts here are the best hotel breakfasts we've tasted in Spain. For relaxation we tried the hammam, which I can’t recommend enough. The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. We were very appreciative of Toñi, who was beyond helpful!

What an absolute gem this boutique hotel is. You step straight into a 1001 Nights fairytale. Wonderfully atmospheric, beautiful rooms, spotless, and housed in a stunning building. All those little winding corridors and hidden passageways create such a magical feeling. Breakfast is à la carte and absolutely delicious, and a dinner at Jardin is a must. The flavours are incredible! But what truly sets this hotel apart is the service and hospitality. You feel incredibly welcome, and everything is done with a smile. Everyone thinks along with you and ensures the most perfect experience. Thank you so much for this special stay; we will definitely be back!

The accommodation is superb. Both our bedroom and bathroom were large, comfortable and very well equipped. Shared with the six rooms in this part of the hotel is a terrace with superb views and a very comfortable sitting room with tea and coffee making facilities and a well-stocked honesty bar. |The restaurant is down two flights of steep and winding stairs which we found hard work and would have been impossible for anyone significantly impaired. We ate twice in the restaurant which has a Moroccan menu. Soup and mezzes were good but the couscous was dry and there was no marga with it – unlike anywhere we have eaten in Morocco. Breakfast in the garden was no more than adequate with scrambled or fried eggs overcooked and cool. It is waiter service rather than buffet and the waiters should be better trained to attend to new arrivals rather than keep them waiting.|5 stars for the hotel, 3 stars for the restaurant so 4 stars average

One of the most wonderful stays of our trip. This hotel has so much charm, and you could get lost inside exploring all the rooms. It offers beautiful views of the village and countryside. The rooftop bar was lovely at night and a great place to unwind. The hotel's restaurant offered us some of the best food we had our entire stay. They have several parking spaces reserved for guests in a garage if you ask ahead of time. Our room was cozy and clean and the ac worked fantastically. The location is right in the central square of the village and made it easy to explore on foot. I was able to book a massage with them and it was the most relaxing, lovely massage I've ever had.

We have stayed at this, one of our favourite hotels in the world, on many occasions and once again it lived up to expectations. The location beside the atmospheric Plaza d’Espana in the centre of beautiful Vejer de la Frontero, the views from the various terraces, the warmth of the reception, the comfort of the rooms, which are each individually designed, drinks in the Teteria bar with its panoramic views, breakfast and dining in the Garden restaurant. It’s all just perfect. We will be back next year!

The aesthetic of the hotel is beautiful . There are many quirky areas to sit and relax around the hotel . The decor is an eclectic mix of styles and very stylish. The rooftop bar has great views and drinks prices are very good here too . |Each room is unique , some have balconies, some terraces, some have neither but all beautifully decorated. |Our bedroom was very quiet so we had a good nights sleep , the aircon was very good and the bed was extremely comfortable. |Our bathroom was ok . It looked tired in parts with a dirty socket & mouldy and stained grout in the shower area. The toilet seat was scratched and part of the radiator was rusty but everything was functional . |All the staff were lovely and friendly and genuinely seemed to want their guests to have a great time . The restaurant was also very good ( see separate review ) |I would highly recommend staying at this hotel if visiting Vejer de la Frontera.

What a lovely hotel! A perfect location right on the square. In fact our room overlooked the square which was fab. The room was nicely furnished, very comfortable and had plenty of space. The whole hotel had a really nice atmosphere and vibe. The only downside was that our room was accessed up stairs with no lift we had to carry our case - although I’m sure we could have got help if needed. Also the people leaving the restaurant (which I would recommend) left via our staircase so it was quite noisy. We had earplugs so it didn’t detract from our stay.

Our first visit to Vejer de la Frontera was inspired by a recent review in the Sunday Times of Vejer and specifically El Casa de la Califa.|The article was spot on. |The hotel was very old with lots of character but has been beautifully brought up to date. The staff were very helpful.|Don’t be disappointed by leaving it late to reserve a table in the hotel restaurant El Jardin de la Califa. The menu is varied with the food inspired by Morocco. Our meal was a wonderful experience with the most amazing flavours.|We thoroughly recommend this hotel and restaurant

This place is incredible. The food is so good that it is hard to believe. The place a gorgeous. The service is incredible. El atmosphere is magical. Every one is in a great mood and happy Yelp Now that I have been yelping for a while, I realize what a cool application this really is. Yelp has become my "go to" site whenever I go to new city around the world. I've also been able to communicate with yelp friends from around the world whenever I travel to a new city in order to get advice of where to eat and also for business information. Yelp is also a great way to keep track of your past experiences and it has become a digital record of where I have been and how much I enjoyed those locations. Yelp is also really great place to connect with people in your own town to see what is going on and what is fun and which restaurants are new and exciting. Try it, you may very well enjoy becoming a yelper also.
