Convento Tarifa, Tarifa

Convento Tarifa - A historic convent hotel with a walled garden, imaginative cuisine, and proximity to Tarifa's old town

Housed in a former Franciscan convent built in 1714, Convento Tarifa features 10 air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms, some including hydromassage showers or baths. The hotel’s standout feature is its enormous walled garden, surrounded by medieval walls and decorated with found objects like ropes and green bottles, creating an enchanted atmosphere. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Convento Tarifa, and the on-site restaurant serves imaginative dishes such as oak-smoked octopus leg, with decor featuring skulls, Spanish bulls, and straw hats. Located just 100 meters from Puerta de Jerez, the medieval gateway to Tarifa’s old town, the hotel is a two-minute walk from shopping areas and five minutes from Playa de los Lances. Musicians occasionally perform in the garden, and the 24-hour reception can arrange kite-surfing, horse-riding, and whale-watching tours.
