Caseta Morritos is a country house in Deltebro, in the heart of the Ebro Delta in Tarragona. It has two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a terrace overlooking the garden and free private parking. It suits couples, families and nature lovers looking for calm, though it is wise to know about the mosquitoes.

Where Caseta Morritos is and how to get there
Caseta Morritos is in Deltebro, in the province of Tarragona, beside the Carretera del Toll and inside the Ebro Delta Natural Park. It is a landscape of rice fields, canals and open sky, and the house is best enjoyed for exactly that.
It is not somewhere to reach by public transport. The sensible option is to drive, and guests take that for granted when they say that everything is within easy reach of the area. At least the private car park is free, so you won't have to hunt for a space.
If you want noise, shops on your doorstep or nightlife, you won't find them here. I'm not saying that as a criticism, just so you know what you're booking.
What the house is like inside and out
Caseta Morritos is a country house with two bedrooms, a private bathroom, a living area and a fully equipped kitchen. Outside there is a large terrace with views over the garden and the Delta landscape, which is where I would spend the evenings.
These are the listed facilities:
- Free Wi-Fi.
- Air conditioning.
- Free private car park.
- Fully equipped kitchen, so you can cook for yourself.
- Garden and terrace.
Several guests describe it as a cosy, spacious and very well kept house, with climate control and good beds. One detail I like especially if you travel with children: next to the house there is a pond with ducks, hens and geese, and one guest says you can even take a boat ride on it.
What guests highlight
On Google, Caseta Morritos has a rating of 4.6 from 39 reviews, and almost all of the reviews I read are five stars. The same things come up again and again: the owners, the setting and the peace and quiet.
- The owners. They are described as friendly, hospitable and very approachable. One review says they explain in detail what to do in the area and offered to act as guides and to lend bicycles.
- The setting. Guests talk about a very beautiful spot, ideal for getting to know the Delta from there.
- Cleanliness and care. The house is described as well kept and clean, including for weekend stays.
- Families. Those who have gone with children single out the animals by the pond.
That said, some of the most enthusiastic reviews are old. If you're unsure how the place is today, or whether they still offer the bikes, ask before you book.
What to know before booking
Caseta Morritos has few drawbacks, but they do exist, and you're better off knowing them beforehand. The most frequently mentioned one is simply being in the middle of the countryside.
- It's secluded. One two-star review describes it as very remote. Without a car, you'll struggle.
- Mosquitoes. The same review mentions a lot of mosquitoes. Surrounded by rice fields and water, that's no surprise: bring repellent and think carefully about when you go.
- The mattress. One guest, otherwise delighted, said they got a slightly uncomfortable sprung mattress.
- Small details. Another review noted that toilet roll was missing. It's a small thing, but worth bringing the basics just in case.
With two bedrooms, the capacity is also limited. One guest mentions going with a large group and having a great time, but check with the hosts how many people really fit.
Who this rural house suits
I would choose Caseta Morritos for a quiet break as a couple, for a family with children who like animals, or for a small group of friends who want to explore the Ebro Delta at their own pace.
It also makes sense if you're into ecotourism and want to walk or cycle from the door. On the other hand, I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a lively atmosphere, restaurants nearby, or if mosquitoes drive you mad.
What to do around Deltebro
Deltebro sits in one of the best-known wetlands in the country, so the natural plan is countryside and water. The house itself is advertised as being close to unspoilt beaches and the Ebro river.
- Walks and strolls among the rice fields.
- Cycling routes around the Delta.
- Fishing.
- Boat trips.
- Watching the nature and ecosystem of the Delta.
One guest went in December and says the weather was mild, which makes me think you don't need to visit in summer to enjoy the place, and you'll also avoid a good share of the mosquitoes. It's my opinion, not a fact, but I think it's a good idea for anyone who wants real calm.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
