Vejer de la Frontera


V… (for Vejer) is an exquisite creation: a beautifully restored 17th-century mansion set around a leafy patio, high above which a view-laden rooftop with sunbeds and hot tub awaits. Creative contemporary design (open-plan bathrooms, chic tubs, oversized mirrors) mixes with antiques in the 12 neutral-toned rooms, and breakfast arrives on enormous trays. The ancient aljibe (cistern) is now a massage room.

A set of interconnecting rooms accommodates families.
