Feedback from our guests

This is an ideal spot for a holiday in the 'real Spain'. Arcos de la Frontera is a wonderful place, steeped in fascinating history. We came with our 3 year-old daughter and she was thrilled at having her own room in the apartment. We went off exploring from Arcos de la Frontera and loved the unspoiled Costa de la Luz. And it only took one hour to get to Seville. Emma and Jim were very friendly hosts! Jan and Aaron, Yorkshire

After visiting the website, I came to Casa Campana from Singapore with some friends. It was all that I had hoped for - and more. Look! Jim lent TK his guitar - TK LOVES playing the guitar. Speaking of music, we all enjoyed the Flamenco CDs Jim and Emma provided for us in the apartment. Joycelyn, Singapore

 

In the lovely streets of Arcos we enjoyed following the special tour Emma and Jim had written. Living between two churches, a view at the lake and the hills on the other side was just what we needed, coming from our hectic lives in Amsterdam. We really felt like citizens of Arcos for six days, especially when our children got their hands on the CD and DVDs of Speekee and started to talk some Spanish. Hopefully we’ll be back. Tanja, Olaf, David, Madeline, Philip Olmer-Vermeer, Holland

Casa Campana was the perfect place for aging backpackers with family in tow. We loved the feel of Arcos and we loved the family-friendly atmosphere (thanks for lending us buckets for the beach!) Best of all we loved reliving our backpacking days by sleeping in the cool on the roof. We did have a room... but waking up to amazing aerial bird displays and the sounds of the town slowly coming to life just couldn't compete! Not many hotels would let you do that, would they! Mel and co, Hertfordshire

 

Having visited Arcos before I knew what a splendid location it was and what a bustling, charming and friendly town it is, full of genuine Andalucian character. Jim and Emma made our stay as good as being at home, both of them are perfect hosts and absolute mines of information both about Arcos itself, its history and its characters as well as the places to see in the area, not all of them in the guide books. The apartment is very cosy and comfortable and the views from the roof terrace are amongst the best in the area. Thanks Jim & Emma for making our 2 week stay far more than just a holiday! Steve (and Denise), East Anglia

 

I'm at my desk again. Did that weekend really happen? ... Pinch me!!! Getting on that aircraft yesterday was one of the hardest things I've done in a long time!!!! Choosing to shut yourself up in a little travel capsule and wave goodbye to 26 degrees!!! .. it's just not natural!!! We had a fantastic time, so big THANK YOU to you both for making our trip such a pleasant one. Annie and Dave, Cornwall

Thanks Jim & Emma for making our stay in Arcos so enjoyable - we really appreciated your warm welcome, your splendid hospitality and the time you took answering our questions and offering your suggestions for local attractions, restaurants and onwards itineraries! You have the prime position in Arcos, we couldn't have asked for a better location. We will be recommending you to our friends travelling soon. Brian, Melle and Zac, Australia

Hope you are all well. We just wanted to say how much we enjoyed staying at Casa Campana. The roof terrace and views of Arcos were fab!!! Your help both in staying and all the other help you gave us was and is very much appreciated and we wanted to say Thank You for everything you did for us. We feel much better about everything. David and Michelle, Scotland

Very welcoming hosts, fabulous location. Jim and Emma went out of their way to help me understand the local area, which is very important if you are a property hunter in Arcos. Though I only stayed at Casa Campana a couple of nights, I felt quite integrated into the local community because Jim and Emma, who speak excellent Spanish and know lots of people, acted as a 'bridge' between me and the locals. Joe, London

High quality service from Jim and Emma, which included all sorts of aspects related to property purchase. Just what I needed, as I came to Arcos in search of my dream home. James, Ireland

Our stay at Casa Campana was made pleasurable by the owners Jim and Emma, who could not have been more helpful. As they speak Spanish, they helped us in many different ways including dealing with the bank and organising excursions to places of interest. Bernard and Lilian, London

Utterly accessible and amenable hosts, Jim and Emma provided us with a fascinating insight into Arcos de la Frontera - a town in which the community feel is reminiscent of bygone days in Britain (and long may it last!). My four year old had a total ball! Kit and family, Warwickshire

Excellent shower in our (guest room) bathroom. I get so annoyed when I stay somewhere and the shower doesn't even work properly. And your patio definitely has the 'wow' factor! Jo, Essex

Even the pictures on your web site don't do Arcos de la Frontera justice. It is stunning. The Bromhams, London

We stayed in the apartment. The beds were nice and firm! One of the things we enjoyed was watching the birds darting about above the roof terrace, especially in the mornings. We were so surprised at how attractive the countryside is in this part of Spain - it's much greener than we had expected, and quite spectacular. Sue and Fred, East Sussex
