YOUR HOSTS

Our Spanish adventure began when we stumbled across Cadiz, quite by accident, during a 2016 cruise.

Having completely fallen in love with the city we said goodbye to our previous lives in Central Portugal and moved lock, stock and barrel to the city. We went on to create and run No. 14 & No. 38 Cadiz, both luxury adults only self-catering apartments. We were blown away not only by the amount of wonderful people we met, but with the success of the apartments too.

Then along came 2020 and the devastating impact of Covid 19. Having both been unlucky enough to be seriously affected by the virus, we took the following months to decide if we wanted to continue city life or if indeed this was a sign that the universe was moving us towards a new chapter in our lives.

In February 2021 we visited Arcos de la Frontera, and it was here, as we walked its Roman streets and absorbed its unique location, that we knew we'd found the place to start our next chapter. Initially opening accommodations on the prestigious Arcos Gardens Golf Club & Country Estate, we never tired of looking for the next adventure! Boutique Suites is the evolution of our experience to date. A unique, intimate & relaxing environment situated in the heart of this historic & fascinating town.

The result of a decade long dedication to luxury accommodations & outstanding guest experiences.

We believe that travelling should be rewarding and that those little finishing touches can make your stay into something unforgettable.

We know when we travel, we expect amazing wi-fi, with connected media offering you on demand content, USB charging points for mobile devices, and supplies of amenities and accessories.

That's why we offer all of this, and more, to you.

We live to host, and to do it well. Our reward?

Hearing that you've had an amazing experience whilst staying with us.

We invite you to come and experience our hospitality for yourself.

Meeting people is the greatest joy in life, and we cannot wait to share our passion with you.

THE TEAM

Francis Relinque - Head Concierge

Born in Cadiz and raised in Madrid.

Graduated in Tourism at the University of Alcalá, completing my studies at the IAE Nice graduate school of Management in International Hotel Management.

I consider myself passionate about the sector, proud of my origins, always willing to share the secrets that this marvelous land hides.

Helena Diez - Concierge

I was born and lived in Madrid until I finished my degree and moved to Germany. I spent around four years there working and learning the language until I finally decided to start my family in this wonderful place.

There is nothing that makes me happier than the feeling that a very cold Coca Cola produces in the sun, surrounded by friends and family, with the breeze on my face. And that, precisely, is the feeling that I hope to give you at all times during your stay at Boutique Suites.

Do not hesitate to count on me for anything you need, and, with my best smile, I will be happy to make you feel at home.

I am a French student born in Normandy and currently studying for a master's degree in tourism and foreign languages. I have spent more than a year in Andalusia and I am always happy to share my passion for this region with people from all around the world while learning about their own cultures, which is why I chose to work in the hospitality industry in the beautiful city of Arcos.

The things that make me happy are spending time with the people I love, visiting new places and discovering new things.

I like working in the hospitality industry because I like getting in touch with people from different cultures and help them have a great experience during their vacation.
