You are in home / the accommodation
Swimming on Barbate Beach
Your accommodation for the week is an important part of a horseback riding vacation. We offer two superb accommodation options for you to choose from. The first is in our own Fantasia Apartments, and the second is in the luxurious 3 star hotel Adiafa. Both the hotel and our apartments are located close to the beach in the Atlantic seaside town of Barbate. The beach is a beautiful expanse of golden sand and runs for almost 2 km from the River Barbate to the Marina. It is overlooked by a wonderful promenade which has plenty of lively bars and restaurants in which you will be made more than welcome by the local people.
Our apartments are typical Andalusian and provide a superb base for a relaxing holiday. They are very comfortable and located in a quiet part of Barbate only five minutes walk from the beach. These spacious apartments contain two or three bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, lounge and bathroom with bath and shower. All have a television or stereo system with English books and magazines. All the apartments have an automatic washing machine and we provide towels for use in the apartment. We provide our guests with their own private bedroom with a shared bathroom. Couples are provided with a bedroom with on suite bathroom. Single bookings on this option do not pay a single room supplement.

Hotel Adiafa
The luxurious Adiafa Hotel is excellent and very well appointed. The hotel is located only 50 meters from the sea front and all the bedrooms are double rooms. Most of the bedrooms have a balcony with full sea view, while the rest have a full or partial sea view. All the bedrooms have air-conditioning, Spanish digital TV and an internet connection by cable or wi-fi. Some even have a Jacuzzi!! Depending on availability guests will be allocated a room with a balcony and full sea view. Single bookings on this option will always be allocated their own bedroom and dual bookings will share. There is an option for a triple room if available.
The vacations would not be complete without good food and drink. Breakfast supplies are provided in the apartments, while at the hotel breakfast is taken in the hotel's bar. Relaxed Lunches are eaten after the ride in traditional 'tapas' bars. Dinners are taken at a variety of quality restaurants within Barbate. All meals are typical ‘Andaluz’ with superb meat and fish dishes being served. Vegetarians can be catered for. The meals are accompanied by good Spanish wines, beers or soft drinks.

Barbate Promenade
Barbate is a medium sized town with a busy fishing port and a population of 22,000. For souvenir hunting the main shopping centre is only a few minutes walk away from the apartments. The town has good although basic shopping facilities. Many shops accept credit or debit cards and there are a number of banks that have cash dispensers. There is a small museum in the town that depicts Barbate's history. Barbate also has a lovely town square that has the town hall and the church at either side.
