Hotel overview
Housed in a 19th-century building with charming interior courtyards, this modern hotel offers a fresh, vibrant stay in the heart of Tarifa’s historic center. Nestled down a quiet cobblestone alley, it combines a trendy atmosphere with comfortable, bright rooms designed for restful nights.
Guests can enjoy unique amenities such as rooftop yoga sessions and a soothing hot tub, creating a wellness-focused experience that balances relaxation and activity. The hotel serves breakfast to start the day right, though it does not have an onsite restaurant or fitness center.
Its central location puts a lively mix of restaurants, bars, and shops just steps away, while the inviting sands of Chica Beach lie only about a 10-minute stroll from the doorstep. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore nearby natural parks and historic sites, making this hotel an ideal base for a diverse Tarifa visit.
Expect a blend of old-town charm and contemporary comfort, though note that some practical details reflect a smaller-scale operation, leading to occasional minor inconveniences noted by travelers.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“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”
“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.”
