The soul behind Manzanilla

Our Story

Where the journey becomes wine

There are places where getting lost is a privilege, and the Jewish Quarter of Vejer de la Frontera is undoubtedly one of them. It was among these labyrinthine streets of whitewashed walls and Atlantic views that our paths crossed.

Manzanilla Boutique Guesthouse was born from the shared dream of Ana María Marín, Joaquín Alfaro and Mario Ojeda. Joaquín and Mario, from La Judería de Vejer, found in Ana the perfect partner to take the leap into hospitality. United by our experience in hospitality, technology and tourism management, we decided to bring to life a project that would combine our greatest passions: absolute comfort, conscious design and, above all, the culture of Andalusian wine.

After a complete renovation of the building on Calle Rosario 25, Manzanilla opened its doors in August 2021.

The Soul of Manzanilla

Where the south is lived slowly

They say you arrive in Vejer… but never by chance.

Ana too had travelled the world before crossing paths with La Judería de Vejer, and it was here that she decided to combine her experience in lifestyle hospitality, her international perspective and her love of detail with the world of wine, the south and the good moments shared.

From that encounter Manzanilla was born — a project created with care, together with the Hannun design team, where every space was conceived to feel lived-in, and to enjoy the pleasure of simplicity.

Like the wine that gives it its name, Manzanilla is character, joy and a small ode to those moments best enjoyed without haste… especially in Cádiz.

But if anything gives meaning to all of this, it is not just the places — it is the people.

Today, César, Montse, Inés and Ana form a small family that shares the same idea: to care for every stay as if it were unique, and to welcome you the way we like to be welcomed ourselves.

Here we don't just manage spaces.
We create places where the south is lived slowly.

Our Philosophy

Natural luxury and simplicity

At Manzanilla we don't just offer a room — we offer a retreat. Our philosophy is simple: to make you feel at home while you enjoy the natural luxury of Vejer.

For us, modern hospitality must be:

Personalised

We manage a small number of rooms (7 unique rooms) so we can take care of every detail and turn our guests into friends.

Sustainable & Artisan

We believe in the quality of handmade craftsmanship. That is why we entrusted the interior design of our guesthouse to the artisans at Hannun, using reclaimed wood and environmentally friendly processes.

Local & Authentic

We support the Andalusian ecosystem — from the building materials to our wine cellar, composed entirely of wines from small local producers.

Forward-thinking

We use technology (such as our self check-in system) so your arrival is seamless and wait-free, letting you make the most of every moment of your stay.
