Whether you call it a hotel, apartment suites or a Guest House Dar Cilla is unique in Tarifa. It is located within the old 12th century walls. The word 'Dar' is Arabic for a town house in which a series of suites are grouped around a central courtyard.

Martina (manager) and Zoë (owner)

The owner - Zoe (right on picture above) - converted an old ruin behind her own property into seven exclusive self catering suites which are managed by Martina (left on picture above). The accent lies on charm and comfort and all the suites have some fine Moroccan touches.

Guests who have stayed in Dar Cilla all praise - besides the very friendly staff- the eye for detail; from the decoration to the warm welcome - everything is done just right!

Dar Cilla's welcoming wine

The furnishing is of a good quality, the bedrooms are romantic.
Most of the suites have a separate dining/sitting area, kitchen and, not to forget, good reading lights should you wish to read a book next to the wood burning fire!

The views from the roof terrace

Each suite is fully independent, but there is a pleasant air of 'sociability' and you can - should you so wish- meet fellow guests and Zoë or Martina on the roof terrace over a glass of wine.

Guesthouse Dar Cilla is a 2 minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and tapa bars, so you are literally in the old town centre but without the hassle and noise this normally brings.
