With spacious gardens at only 5 minutes from Tarifa's golden beaches.
This is a more than 200 years old shepher's house, completely restored, and only 5 minutes (3 kms) drive to the most beautiful beaches of the Costa de la Luz: the beach of Bologna with its antique ruins of a Roman port and the beach of Tarifa's Punta Paloma. The spacious gardens offer impressive views on the countryside, the Atlantic and down to the African coast.
Location and outside area
An unpaved road of 300 m leads to the privileged location of this antique villa located in the El Estrecho Natural Park. This house is adjacent to Villa Tarifa 002 and part of a small hamlet called Betis, situated within the municipality of Tarifa, a 7 minute drive away (6,5 km). Tarifa is famous for great windsurfing and for its wide, golden beaches with clear blue waters. The spacious gardens with lawn of more than 5,000 m2 are set on three different levels with an attractive private pool (10x5 m) on the lowest level. Absolute privacy is guaranteed by the natural stone wall that completely surrounds the garden. Those looking for protection from the midday sun will especially enjoy the beautiful shelter with terracotta floors and beamed ceilings. Sun loungers are provided. Adjacent to the house you’ll find a relaxing verandah with impressive views over the valley, the mountains, and down to the Atlantic. For a day trip, the rock of Gibraltar is only 45 minutes away, while the cities of Cádiz and Jerez de la Frontera (nearest airport) are just an hour drive away. The city of Málaga with its popular Picasso Museum is one and a half hour away.

The house is very tastefully furnished, providing a high level of comfort. The central part of the house has two living rooms and is complete with an open fireplace, satellite-TV, video, and music equipment.

One of the four bathrooms has been built in the former kitchen of this shepherd’s house where the natural stone bread oven remains in its memory. A central patio provides a lot of light to the interior of the house whilst its plants provide a pleasant smell and freshness.
