More families are moving to Tarifa for a school year, drawn by the sun, the sea and an easy, outdoor way of life. This modern townhouse is let from the end of September to late June, so a family can arrive before term starts and stay until the last day of school.
At 154 m² over three floors, the house has two bedrooms, including a children's room with a playful house-style bed, and three bathrooms, so mornings before school don't turn into a queue. The open-plan kitchen and living area opens onto a shared community garden with palms, a green, car-free space for children to play after school.
Two enclosed roof terraces give the adults somewhere to breathe at the end of the day, with views over the Atlantic to the mountains of Morocco. A crib and a high chair are available on request.
For schooling, Tarifa now also has the bilingual Myland International School Tarifa, an 8-minute drive from the house at the start of the Bolonia road.
A school year spans autumn wind and winter rain as well as spring sun. Central air conditioning and heating keep the house comfortable all year, and solar panels help power it. A private parking space next to the building makes the school run and weekend trips simple.
Many parents who relocate keep their jobs. The house has 500 Mbps fiber and a dedicated workspace on the top floor with sea views, and the three floors keep the home office away from family life. The quiet residential hillside means calls without traffic noise.
Los Lances Beach is a 10-minute walk and the old town 12 minutes, with cafés, markets and restaurants for everyday life. Weekends can mean beach days, bike rides, the natural park's trails, or the 35-minute ferry to Tangier for a day in Morocco.
For family visits, Gibraltar Airport is about 45 minutes away, Málaga about two hours and Seville about two and a half.
The house is let on a temporary residential lease for the school year, at a monthly rent. Send us your family's dates and a few words about your plans, and we'll reply personally with the terms.
