HIGHS
- The location – a comfortable distance from the hubbub of the main road and Tarifa town, but not completely cut off from civilisation
- A feeling of being at one with nature – sharing the hillside with cows, goats, pigs, owls and swooping red kites
- BBQs on the terrace as the sun goes down, along with the melody of goat bells in the distance
- Beaches – kite and windsurfing beaches aplenty, and a short drive to some of the most beautiful secluded bays in Europe
- Privacy – the houses are not far apart but their positioning affords total solitude for sunbathing on the terraces

LOWS
- Wholly dependent on natural energies, so without sunshine you may find yourself without power (but they promise "a limitless supply of tea lights and twinkling stars")
- On rare still nights, the traffic can be heard from the main road
- The open-plan sleeping arrangements might be off-putting for some, but adds to the ‘glorified camping’ charm of the place
- The strong winds can be exhausting, but this is what many people travel to Tarifa for
- Access is via a slightly treacherous single-track road, with the last 30-100m on foot; a car is essential
- There's no air con but the wind is a natural fan
- Bear in mind the minimum stay of 7 nights May - September
