With a power shower of copious hot water beating my body as I stand in the open-air shower on the spacious terrace at Dar Cilla, I look out over the town of Tarifa across the Straits of Gibraltar to the Rif Mountains of Morocco......absolute Heaven. Dar Cilla is a real gem, furnished with imagination and flair to reflect the proximity of North Africa, Apartments are spotlessly clean, all with balconies facing the beautiful inner courtyard. There are 2 fact files jam-packed with information- and personal comment -on places to visit, activities, restaurants etc. but the most captivating is the Moroccan folder,
Dar Cilla organises personalised trips to Tangier and this was why we had returned so willingly for our second visit. We explained exactly what we wanted to see, how long we wanted to stay and basically left the rest to Zoe and Martina, Arrangements were made efficientlly to reflect our needs, clear explanations were given and nothing was left to chance,
As a result we had a magical short break including a fascinating tour of the Casbah with a very knowledgeable guide, a stay in the faded glory of the well-appointed Hotel Continental - full of history and exquisite Islamic mosaics, The cost was very reasonable and well worth it for a hassle-free holiday
Sun-downers on the terrace gazing over the rooftops watching the ferry coming in to port I have a hankering to pour another glass of wine and plan when we can return for a further dose of Dar Cilla hospitality where nothing is too much trouble.
