Casa Rural (small country guesthouse) set 200m above sea level in Vejer de la Frontera, 10 minutes from the virgin beaches of the Costa de la Luz. Vejer has all the amenities of a country town, including restaurants, café bars, shops and a smattering of historical monuments.

This is a townhouse with a Moorish past and was once a run-down ruin. Now sympathetically restored it retains many original features, including its internal Arabic style ‘Riyadh’ (open-air internal courtyard).

At the guesthouse you’ll experience relaxed but personal service, stylish and comfortable surroundings and informal dining that fuses the best local dishes, with the modern trend for the ‘gourmet - nomad’.

It is Set in one of Vejer’s narrow, cobbled, traffic-free streets with views of the coast and Africa beyond.

All have double beds, en-suite (open plan) shower / bathrooms and holistic bathtime treats.
All their beds have been chosen for comfort and are dressed in 100% Egyptian cotton sheets. Rooms at CasaCinco have CD players so you can create your own music environment.
Rooms are individually furnished and reflect the eclectic taste of the owners, who have filled the rooms with items bought on their extensive travels.
Rooms are either standard double or studio suites.

Guesthouse' ‘Riyad’ (open-air internal courtyard) has been retained. A sanctuary on hot summer days and open to the stars at night.

Breakfast is inclusive and a typical selection might include:
Thai pancakes spread with Sevillian oranges
French toast and the best Andalucian olive oil for dipping

Dinner is always informal: a barbecue of freshly caught seafood on the terrace; or a more homely affair in the comedor (dining room), wood-stove heated in the winter.
Fish and imaginative vegetarian form the basis of the menus for zesty, tasty cooking.
The restaurant is open twice weekly and reservations can be made in advance or on arrival.

Vejer has Moorish origins.
The Catholic Church is supposed to have been built on the site of the Arab mosque and the castle boasts a fine example of a Moorish horseshoe arch.
The Christian reconquest of 1250 bequeathed high stone walls, battlements and town’s once gated arches.
Traditionally Spanish, Vejer is a place where time is measured differently and is a great base for touring.
