History & Renovation

„Casa del Viento“ (The house of wind)  house has quite a few stories to tell. In Tarifa there is not one person who doesn´t know him – Pepe Estupendo (the Excellent Pepe), the previous owner of Casa del Viento. This short, lively 68 year old Spanish man has lived in this house for his entire life and was working in his little shop for everyday necessities for 56 years. Not only local people loved to pass by his shop, but also the tourists really appreciated his courteous way of being. Now he handed his property over and is looking forward to enjoy his free time together with his family.

Rebuilding and renovating our new house „Casa del Viento“ is in full swing and it slowly takes form...

Demolition work was done and the new structure slowly but surely became visible. We built new walls, and also new stairwell, water pipes and electric cables have been added. Then the next step was to put the underfloor heating and the air-condition. And then the floor. Very crucial! How exciting! On the ground floor we set up a shop with reception as well as three studios, each with sleeping room, own bathroom and a small kitchen. On the first floor we built five bedrooms. One of them is a suite and the other four rooms share a bathroom in between two. The chicos were working super hard so we could open the doors of “Casa del Viento” at the beginning of June in 2015. And we have finally done it! The results are amazing! 🙂
