Ferienhaus The Artist Tarifa in Tarifa / ES – Spain

Holiday home The Artist Tarifa

The sky over Tarifa: The Artist Tarifa, a listed building, is as cos­mo­po­litan as the city itself. A haven of tran­quillity amidst the white­washed, lively streets of the old town, its roof terrace offers views stret­ching all the way to the moun­tains of Morocco.
Lined by kilo­metres of sandy beaches, Tarifa is nestled between two nature parks and the worlds of two con­ti­nents — a paradise for wind­surfers and kitesurfers and the stage of history.

The Artist Tarifa — once the birth­place and home of the painter Agustin Segura Iglesias — is one of the city’s cul­tural tre­asures. In 2022, the two-storey building was res­tored, including the ori­ginal façade, where the old guard with marble helmet is still enthroned on the corner.

The five sleek double bed­rooms, fur­nished with wood and wicker fur­niture, and the five cor­re­sponding bath­rooms are spread over both floors. In between, a spa­cious glazed patio opens up in the centre of the house, rea­ching up to the roof.

From the centre of the house, a staircase leads to the first floor, which con­tinues to the roof terrace. Up here, not only is the view of the white city spec­ta­cular, on top there is also a plunge pool with salt water.
