Los Refugios del Alce are five holiday houses in Chiclana, rented as whole houses for 6 to 10 people. Each one has its own plot, heated pool and fireplace. La Barrosa beach is a 10-minute drive and Novo Sancti Petri is right next door.
You book the entire house and its plot. The pool is yours for the whole stay and so is the porch. There are no areas shared with other guests and no pool timetable. Each house has its own parking space by the door.
That is the difference from a hotel or an apartment complex. You have breakfast when you like, the children go in and out of the water at their own pace, and the barbecue gets lit whenever you fancy it.
We ask one thing in return: respect for the surroundings. The houses are not rented for parties or events, which is why people come here to rest.
Check-in is from 17:00 and check-out is by 12:00. If you need different times, just ask.
All five share the same style and equipment. What changes is the size: Rincón del Chico and Casa Alce suit large families or two families together, while Ferro, Dafer and Joal suit families and couples who want more space than a hotel room.
| House | Layout | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|
| Rincón del Chico | 4 bedrooms and sofa bed | 10 |
| Casa Alce | 3 bedrooms and sofa bed | 8 |
| Casa Ferro | Double bedroom, attic room and sofa bed | 6 |
| Casa Dafer | Double bedroom, twin bedroom and sofa bed | 6 |
| Casa Joal | Double bedroom, twin bedroom and sofa bed | 6 |
If you do not all fit in one, you can book more. We explain how in group holiday houses in Chiclana.
We are at Cortijo del Sotillo, in the countryside around Chiclana, with supermarkets less than five minutes away. From here everything is an easy drive:

In summer the plan makes itself: a morning on La Barrosa beach, an afternoon by the pool and dinner on the porch. In spring and autumn the coast is quieter and the countryside is at its best for walks or day trips around the province.
In winter the fireplace and the heated pool take over. Guests have stayed with us in December and at Easter, and they talk about it in their reviews.
If you are torn between dates or houses, Mari Carmen will help you choose. She welcomes our guests and knows every house.
We have 44 reviews on Google with an average of 5.0 (figures from November 2026). What comes up most is cleanliness, peace and quiet, the barbecue, the heated pool and Mari Carmen, who welcomes each guest and sorts out anything that comes up during the stay.
There are practical details too, the kind that save a family time: guests mention the washing machine and dryer, the dishwasher, a cot for the little ones and the small play area. One group booked three houses for 18 adults and 5 children, and two families with four children shared a four-bedroom house. You can read them all on our reviews page.
