Getting from the parking garage to the BnB by taxi is a bit scary. Gosh those taxi drivers are good. Coordinating with Remy was easy with WhatsApp. If you have problems walking or doing stairs, this would not be a good place for you (or up in the old town at all. The house is a bit quirky with levels and steps in many places. It is utterly charming. You can hear people in the street talking as they go by. I am sensitive to noise, but I slept fine without earplugs. I just happened to get up at sunrise. It was a gorgeous view. It is a wonderful place to stay and slow down after Seville and Malaga. The pool is just a plunge pool to cool off. We liked the breakfast and it was simply wonderful to enjoy the view during breakfast.

Exquisite hidden gem
What an amazing guest house, thank you so much for having us. On arrival we were greeted by the friendliest people who went out of their way to help us with our baby stroller and luggage. They had everything we needed, access to a fridge, kettle, toys, drinks and snacks on demand. The courtyard is stunning, like out of a movie, I had never experienced such authentic Spain. The room was just perfect, so clean with amazing views, excellent air con and so lovely and quiet. We were given a really comfortable baby cot for our 7mth old. Driving the little streets to drop off our bags was so much fun, you would never experience this anywhere. No parking outside, but a beautiful pleasant walk up the hill from the car park, past lovely cafès and shops. The town itself is stunning, we really felt like we stumbled upon a hidden gem. We would highly recommend this guest house if you want to experience the luxury of real Spain. Just amazing.

This is a cosy BNB run by a very hospitable couple. Set high on Arcos hill, it has a beautiful view; our room had a terrace, which we used. Dining is close by. Keep in mind there is parking down the hill, and there are hills, so don't go to Arcos if you don't like to walk:)

This property is a true gem. Tranquil and serene and the hosts are very warm and welcoming. A beautiful property not to be missed. Arcos itself is a delight. Narrow shady streets with a surprise round every corner. Park in the underground carpark and get a taxi up the hill, worth every penny of 7€. Don't attempt to drive it unless you have a small car and are confident with narrow streets. Would love to return one day and spend more time as this property was the highlight of our trip.

Beautiful and unique property with wonderful small pool to relax in after a long hot day walking all the hills! Hosts were very accommodating and helped us when we got lost after parking the car on a narrow windy street a long way away from the property. Only drawback was bed was hard and uncomfortable and air conditioning only works in the bedroom and not in the entire space so it was hot at night. Great views of the mountains from the room.

A charming place to stay while in Arcos
La Casa de Bovedas is a charming and very well decorated guesthouse. It is located on a very narrow street in the old and upper part of the city of Arcos de la Frontera. To get to this good address, I suggest you leave your car on the street in the newer part of the city, and walk up to the old town and the Eglisia de San Pedro. From there, locals will direct you to the Calle Bovedas, a 2-minute walk away. Fantastic restaurants with wonderful tapas + fantastic views from the edge of the cliffs are close by. Wonderful pictures of the cliffs and the city were taken from the plains below (shepherd with his sheeps and dogs in the forefront, cliffs and the city in the background). Like Ronda, Arcos is a place not to be missed.

Charming inn in the old city
This inn is in the old section of Arcos with steep narrow streets. The proprietor advised us to park in the new underground parking at the bottom of the hill and take a taxi, and this was excellent advise. The garage charges 15 euro per day. The inn is charming, eclectic, in a historic building with steep steps. It would not be a good choice if there are mobility issues. The proprietor is wonderful, warm and very helpful. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and each is different. The are multiple public areas to sit both inside and on terraces. Shower and AC worked very well. Breakfast is an extra 7 euro and includes toast, fruit, juice and coffee. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Amazing views and worth the trip!
The location may seem out of the way but the village of Arcos de La Frontera is worth the trip and La Casa De Bovedas was incredible. The rooms were decorated beautifully, had amazing views from the rooms, the terraces, and the breakfast areas. A short walk around and you can see everything in Arcos and have a wonderful dinner! The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was perfect. To sit and drink our fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee with views and no rush I could not ask for a better vacation spot. Even the shower was exceptional and had a window with views. Loved it!

A wonderful boutique hotel in the center of Arcos de la Frontera. Beautifully maintained by the owner who wants the guests to feel at home there. Breakfast in the little courtyard with a few over the lake is magical. A warning, though: drivers using a GPS will be led into a maze of increasingly narrow streets. It is better to inquire in advance about parking possibilities, deposit the car, and walk to the hotel.

My Favorite Hotel in Spain
Staying 10 days throughout Andalucía and this by far was my favorite hotel. After three days in Seville, Casa de Bovedas was completely relaxing. Remy was a warm gracious host who gave my friend great information regarding parking, sights, restaurants, and Arcos in general. My room had two single beds and direct access to a balcony with wonderful views of the countryside. Fantastic common areas to relax in with big comfy sofas and a lovely patio with lots of flowering plants and shade trees. The only downside was that I was able to stay for one night.
Thank youvery much for a nice review!!

Lovely inn located in middle of ancient hill town
Excellent reception. Innkeeper was very accommodating in encouraging us to park in the parking garage and take a taxi (which he called) to the Inn located in the middle of the ancient hill town. It was a wonderful place and I also recommend the Flamenco restaurante just a short distance away along the main street. The inn had an excellent view of the town and nearby mountains.

Comfortable and Friendly
It was like staying with friends; who allowed us all the privacy we wanted but were always there to answer our many questions and actually went out of their way to be helpful --- when we lost our passports !! We especially enjoyed our breakfasts in the lovely courtyard with a beautiful to the valley far below. Our little suite was very comfortable and provided a lovely place for myself and husband and adult son to vacation and relax. We would definitely stay again !!!

Lovely stay in Arcos de la Frontera
Arcos is a wonderful "white village" and La Casa de Bovedas is just as wonderful! We were warmly greeted by a delightful young woman who could not have been more helpful. Our room "azul" was comfortable, very well appointed and had direct access to an outdoor sitting area with a spectacular view. La Casa puts you in the middle of the old section of Arcos within walking distance of many restaurants, stores and vantage points for taking pictures. Breakfast was a small additional charge - well worth it. Highly recommend!

Our Favorite Andelusian Memory
La Casa de Bovedas, smack in the middle of the Arcos de la Fronteras old town, is a comfortably restored structure whose original walls reach back to Roman and Phoenician days. You can feel and breathe the history. Our room had spectacular views to the countryside far below us and to another whitewashed hill town ten miles away on the horizon. In addition to our modern quarters, we also had access to a comfortable sitting room, a well-stocked fridge and a great roof-top patio. Our host was generous and accommodating with his hospitality, time and helpfulness, and we will not soon forget our conversations over breakfast. If you want an authentic taste of what small-town Andelucia is all about, you might consider this B&B.

La Casa de Bovedas-Arco de la Frontera
My wife and I recently spent two nights at La Casa de Bovedas in Arcos do la Frontera. This place is a disaster. Their web site is totally misleading and the photographs must be trick photography. On our arrival we were met by mine host who showed us to our room and that was the last we saw of him. I met the hostess briefly on two occasions and she had very little to say. The room we were allocated had no view and was on the main street with traffic noise until the early hours of the morning. As far as I knew, we were the only guests there at that time.Why did they not allocate us another room with a beautiful view and no traffic?! The cord on the ceiling fan was broken and we had to stand on the bed to operate it. Not very safe! There was no plug for the wash basin, but I managed to find one in another room after trying two other rooms. The terrace was an untidy shambles so we did not use it. On their web site they state that there is 24 hour service- we saw them for approximately 5 minutes during our whole stay. They also state that newspapers were supplied. Not for us. No sign of tea or coffee maker as stated. No bidet was to be seen. The whole place was untidy and in need of a thorough clean and some fresh air. I have read the review from a French visitor and I totally agree with all that he wrote. Unless the owners have a sudden change of attitude and are a bit more hospitable, the future does not look too rosy for them.

La que he tenido una mala experiencia he sido yo! A la hora de cobrar le expliqué con toda amabilidad que en mi lugar no se cobra antes y usted comenzó a gritarme que ya estaba pagado! cosa que no era verdad. Le pedí que me muestre la reserva y al mirarla vimos que en ningún lugar decia que estaba pagado, usted seguía gritando que no iba a pagar dos veces y con comentarios agresivos diciendo que todos los argentinos somos prepotentes!! cuando le he tenido que decir varias veces que se calme. y baje la voz... nunca me pasó algo igual. Además cuando intenté cobrar por la tarjeta de crédito que dieron como garantía no era válida!!! En fin.... le he pedido a la agencia que les ponga claro en letra grande que tienen que pagar aquí. Personas tan agresivas nerviosas y que insultan cuando no tienen razón no son bienvenidas. Lo que deberían es pedir disculpas por haber estado confundidos con respecto al pago y por eso recibir gritos en insultos....
