Hilltop Vejer de la Frontera is unique amongst the historic pueblos blancos of Andalucía in its proximity to miles and miles of unspoilt coastline. Highlights of the Costa de la Luz include the dune-backed sands of local El Palmar, cliff-top walks through the umbrella pines above Caños de Meca, the kite-surfing capital of Tarifa, and horse-riding through the surf below the Cape of Trafalgar.
The old-town of Vejer is a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets between white-washed houses that are redolent of its Moorish past. Surrounded by natural parks and overlooking the hills of the Alcornocales, Vejer makes an ideal base to explore the beautiful and historic province of Cádiz, with Cádiz city, Jerez and Seville all easy day-trips. On clear days Morocco appears tantalisingly close across the Straits of Gibraltar.

The draw This is by far the best small boutique hotel in the area. Opened in June, the centuries-old house has been lovingly restored, maintaining Moorish features and feel but with 21st century swish. With wooden doors, solid shutters, tiled floors, a gallaried internal courtyard and views of North Africa from the roof terrace, it has irresistible impact.
The drawbacks The shared breakfast table could be bigger - some people aren't designed for morning smalltalk.
The other guests All nationalities - and mainly couples.
The rooms Four, with individual design and layout. All have luxurious beds, huge showers, CD players and music library. Try Number 3, the "romance" room,which has a colonial-style lounge area, high ceilings and a gorgeous bedroom painted deep burgundy, with sexy lighting. Two rooms have their own private terrace.
The service Warm,easy-going and just right.
The food Breakfast only - but it is superb. There's a fridge, well stocked bar, and snack-making facilities in each room. Barbecues on the terrace are organised on request. There are dozens of restaurants in the old town. The best is El Jardin del Califa, serving mouth-watering Moroccan cuisine in an intimate garden illuminated by candlelight (booking essential).

Step in off the cobbled alleyway and you find all the original architectural gems: the old stone steps, the ancient wooden doors, a 12th-century well and an open courtyard with cloistered walkways. The clean contemporary style, however, is distinctly 21st-century. You get candles on the stairs, loungers on the roof terrace, scatter cushions in the chill-out room, bold colours on the walls. The four blissful rooms are faultless. Two have private terraces with 20-mile views, one comes in opulent red, another has a woodburner. You'll find CDs and books everywhere, French windows open to the breeze, barbecues on the roof terrace in summer. There's Duna the dog and Remo the cat, too. Brilliant.

It looks like a fashionista's fantasy but feels like a home. Two Britons, Tenette Ludlow and Nigel Anderson, took over the former chapel in 2005 and created an intelligent pastiche of the Andalusian look: restored tiling, polished wood doors, warm fabrics, black wrought-iron against a white backdrop.
Some rooms are more Moorish than others, but everything is understated and as comfortable as it is cool. Vejer has some good restaurants and you can drive in no time to Tarifa, the Costa's kite-surfing capital, or flamenco-crazed Jerez de la Frontera.
