CASA AFRICA

My stay at Casa Africa in Tarifa was truly unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed by both the host and the manager, Phil. Their kindness and attentiveness to my needs made me feel genuinely taken care of, creating an atmosphere of comfort and community that set Casa Africa apart from a typical hotel experience. One of the standout features of Casa Africa is its unique charm and the sense of belonging it fosters. The host went above and beyond to ensure I felt at home, and I had the opportunity to meet many wonderful people during my stay. This vibrant, friendly environment turned my trip into a meaningful experience, filled with memorable connections and delightful interactions. The accommodations were also exceptional. The rooms were not only comfortable but also thoughtfully designed, providing a relaxing space to unwind after exploring the old town. Casa Africa’s location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Tarifa’s historic center, just steps away from fantastic restaurants and the stunning beach. While it can be a bit windy, it’s an ideal spot for surf enthusiasts and adds to the charm of this unique coastal town. Overall, Casa Africa offered one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. For anyone looking for something beyond the anonymity of a standard hotel, I wholeheartedly recommend CASA Africa. It’s a place where you’ll feel truly special and connected, and I’m immensely grateful to the host and Phil for making my stay so wonderful. I’ll miss it deeply.

The room was really nicely done with a comfy bed. Coffee and tea facilities were all provided. The shower room was lovely. I enjoyed having all the yoga and mindfulness classes in the Hostal . It was so easy to access and enjoy them. The Hostal is right in centre of the old town so it’s very charming. The beach and nature walks are all just there.

We stayed in Tarifa for two nights. This pleasant place is in the old walled city. They upgraded us to a bigger room right away. The rooms are well appointed and the air conditioning was a godsend in the heat that we had. We were able to walk everywhere and the staff gave us easy to follow directions to good restaurants. Note: there is no parking on site, but they showed us some free parking a few blocks away. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely loved our stay here. We always try and get a few days down in Tarifa! And came back as the owners had said they were doing a full refurb!! The rooms looked so lovely and fresh!!

This place was the one of the worst stays in many months. The room was very hot. It is clear that they have converted a small sunny patio to a room. Therefore, it is hot as hell. They do not allow you to control the AC. The windows do not have a mosquito net so good luck sleeping at night if you open them. The mattress is old and your back is going to break in two. The bed cover is only good for one person. This is not the worst. The worst is the ants. There are ants everywhere. EVERYWHERE. The kitchen is a joke. A small table that is depressing rather than fulfilling. This is the case everywhere but no parking. Communication is very bad. I tried sending them multiple messages and they did not reply. If you go digital, you need to answer your messages.

La Joyita is as funky as Adonella, the owner of the hotel! Spotlessly clean, brightly coloured rooms with everything you need. Great location in the old city center, on a relatively quiet street.||Adonella is a great host , very knowledgeable and able to give good advice about Tarifa and the surrounding area.||||If we ever come to Tarifa, we know where to go!

Great value! Loved the shower, beds were comfy, room clean. Minus -- lighting needs repair on steps, dangerous. Manager is a one man show so she might not always be available, but she tries very hard

There was an unfortunate mix-up with the number of nights we were staying, but that doesn't take away from the place itself. Room and property were clean and very nicely appointed. Location was good for shopping and restaurants. Walking distance to ferry which was important to us.Only negative about the property was that it was very difficult to locate even with the directions.
