Hotel Review

Dar is an Arabic word for a town house in which a series of apartments are grouped around a central courtyard and that is exactly what you get at Dar Cilla with a lovely roof terrace for sunbathing or enjoying an evening drink as well. Decorated in local Spanish/North African style, the apartments are all different and have their own entrances and stairways to the roof terrace. They sleep between two and four people. Dar Cilla has no restaurant but is within walking distance of shops and restaurants and essentials such as tea, coffee, oil and vinegar are provided. The owner and staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the area and can arrange hiccup-free day trips to Tangier. It is a sociable place but bringing friends back for late-night drinks is discouraged.

We care! Dar Cilla is a boutique guesthouse on the outskirts of the old town of Tarifa away from the noise and busy streets. Some call us the oasis of peace! Others say they finally found the gem of Tarifa….a no smoking establishment where children older than 12yrs are more than welcome. A multi-national staff that goes the extra mile to ensure guests optimize their stay in Dar Cilla and Tarifa. We are available but never obtrusive.
