Soleil Style

Perched in Cádiz's La Viña neighbourhood, this apartment boasts a shared rooftop terrace that's hard to resist – it's a communal sun-soaked expanse with loungers made for long, unhurried evenings. The entrance courtyard is also wrapped in bougainvillaea, making it feel like a true Andalusian escape. Inside, the design is modern and practical. It may not be the largest apartment, but its unbeatable location more than makes up for it. La Caleta Beach is just moments away on foot, as are the Santa Catalina and San Sebastián Castles, making this a rare spot where you're equally well placed for a beach day or an afternoon of exploring.

Home truths:
* At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
* The bedroom looks onto the communal hall or inner courtyard rather than the street, so it's sheltered from outside noise – though that does mean it lacks natural light.
* You'll have access to the on-site rooftop terrace and communal Andalusian-style entrance hall here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
* You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
