We absolutely loved this place! Part of a much larger rural property, which the owners use as their summer retreat, we had the place to ourselves for 10 blissful days in late January. Of course, the beautiful (and perhaps not entirely typical!) winter weather helped, but notwithstanding, the secluded setting, stunning tropical gardens, peace & tranquility, and character accommodation all combined to make our stay very special indeed. And, all within easy reach of Puerto de la Cruz, and many other local attractions.
OK, a car is needed to get anywhere, the beautiful swimming pool is unheated, and the accommodation couldn't be called 5 star by any stretch of the imagination. However, these 'gripes' becomes somewhat irrelevant when counter-balanced against the truly unique nature of this wonderful property. Garden lovers particularly will be impressed with the flair and imagination that the owners have put into creating what can only be described as a tropical paradise, with an amazing variety of trees, shrubs, and hard landscaping that includes paved walkways throughout, an incredible array of pots, pithoi, and ornaments, and characterful garden buildings throughout.
On a more mundane level, the welcome grocery 'pack' left by the owners, which included wine, beer, fruit juice, bread, ham, cheese, and a huge bowl of [mainly] tropical fruit from the gardens, was also a much appreciated gesture. All in all, a wonderful and unique experience - highly recommended.
