Some houses are remembered for a single detail, and at Casa Joal that detail is shaped by water. It is refuge number 05 of Los Refugios del Alce, in Chiclana de la Frontera, and it boasts the prettiest water corner in the whole collection: a corner pool surrounded by plants, a shaded patio with sun loungers and that country stillness only understood by those who are truly after calm. With the beach ten minutes away, it is the perfect house for couples and families who want to switch off without giving up the Costa de la Luz.
Casa Joal: the prettiest water corner of the refuge
The moment you cross the patio, you understand why Casa Joal has earned its reputation. The pool does not sit in the middle of the plot, as is usually the case, but is tucked into a corner surrounded by plants and lawn, creating an intimate and highly photogenic spot. The turquoise water contrasts with the greenery that embraces it and with the stone floor of the patio, and one glance is enough to settle the plan for the week: long swims, shade within reach and the clock forgotten indoors.
That is the spirit of this home and, in fact, of the entire Los Refugios del Alce project: well-tended spaces, a relaxed atmosphere and the feeling of having found a charming refuge far from the bustle. Casa Joal is designed for those who see a holiday as a truce, a place where the greatest luxury is having no rush. Here the day begins when the body asks for it and ends under a clear sky, with the murmur of the countryside in the background.
A corner pool to cool off at any hour
The pool is, without a doubt, the great protagonist. With clean lines and clad in light tones, its turquoise colour invites you to dive in at any time of day. Tucked into a corner of the patio, it stays sheltered and quiet, a haven of its own where the little ones are always in sight and the grown-ups can let themselves be carried away by the sound of the water. It is a pool for cooling off after the beach, for the spontaneous mid-afternoon dip and for those last-minute swims, when the sun eases off and the water is still warm.
Around it, the shaded patio completes the scene. The sun loungers wait on the lawn for an open-air nap, unhurried reading or simply to watch the hours go by. The shaded area lets you enjoy the outdoors even during the hottest hours, something to be grateful for in the height of the Cádiz summer. Between the water and the shade, the plot becomes a small enclosed world where you feel like staying all day without any need to go out.
Serene interiors for a real rest
Indoors, Casa Joal keeps the same language of calm. The bedrooms opt for luminous simplicity: light wooden headboards, white bed linen and that neutral palette that invites rest at first glance. They are cool, tidy rooms, designed for sleeping well after a day of beach and pool, with natural light coming in gently and the silence of the surroundings as the best ally of sleep.
The house conveys that sense of a well-cared-for home that characterises Los Refugios del Alce: nothing is superfluous and nothing is missing. It is the kind of interior you want to come back to as evening falls, to leave your flip-flops at the door and feel the pace slow down. For couples looking for a quiet break or families who want an unhurried rhythm, Casa Joal offers just the right balance between outdoor living and indoor refuge.
Chiclana and the beach ten minutes away
One of Casa Joal’s great selling points is its location. We are in Chiclana de la Frontera, in the Novo Sancti Petri area, one of the most appreciated parts of the Cádiz coast: pine groves, quiet residential areas and kilometres of fine sand just a step away. The beach is barely ten minutes away, so combining the house’s water corner with days by the sea is as easy as it is convenient.
From here, each day offers a different plan in the heart of the Costa de la Luz:
- La Barrosa beach: kilometres of fine sand and calm waters, the great reference point of Chiclana.
- Sancti Petri village: a seafaring atmosphere, sunsets facing the castle and water sports.
- Novo Sancti Petri pine groves: walks in the shade of the pines for the sunniest hours.
- Cádiz cuisine: fresh fish and beach bars right by the sand.
- Nearby getaways: Conil, Vejer or the city of Cádiz itself, a short drive away.
