If you are looking for rural seclusion, on a journey not only in space but in time, this could be the answer to your dreams: in the casa you will find lovely surroundings, tranquility and a feeling of getting back to essentials.
Only a very few Casas Rurales (country cottages) of this type remain in their original state on Tenerife. The casa was built of rough stone from the surrounding fields in the early 20th Century. Its massive, unrendered, stone walls seem indestructible to this very day, and you are invited to enjoy its privileged location in the northwest of the Island, on a pine-covered mountain, in the midst of untouched Nature.
Rustic as the house may appear, it is comfortably equipped.
In the last few years, the house has been painstakingly renovated and fitted out.
At the same time, care has been taken to match the furnishings to the character of the building and to keep a uniform style.
Thus you will find satellite TV, a stereo system, and a modern kitchen with a fridge, a coffee-maker and a washing machine. All the same, all the furnishings and decorations have been selected in keeping with the house's rough-hewn stone.

On coming into the house, you enter a spacious area, which is divided into a kitchen and a living room.
The unobtrusive fitted kitchen in light-colored wood includes a 4-burner gas cooker, a sink, a fridge with freezer compartment, a microwave, toaster and coffee-maker.
Plenty of cooking utensils, dishes and cutlery for four people are available. The oval dining table in the centre of the room has room and to spare for four diners.
The living area, with a tasteful wooden sideboard, a generous semi-circular sofa with coffee table and a fireplace, coaxes guests to enjoy a cosy chat, listen to music or to watch TV (foreign language channels available).
On cool days and nights, the central heating maintains a pleasant room temperature.
The bathroom, finished in pale apricot, is reached via a small hallway. As well as the terracotta tiling, the bathroom walls are finished in natural stone, and emphasize the country charm of the building. The bathroom has a semicircular shower cabin, washbasin, bidet, and WC, and is supplied with plentiful towels and hygiene products.
Two separate bedrooms provide space for up to four guests. Both bedrooms are equipped with wooden furniture, large mirrors and two single beds which can be pushed together if necessary. Best-quality mattresses guarantee a good night's sleep. The decorative element of natural stone found all over the house forms part of the unrendered walls in these rooms, too.
The first of the two bedrooms is finished in Bordeaux red and is on the lower floor. A captivating detail is the striking natural wooden roof beams, as well as the intricate puzzle of the parquet flooring. A door leads off to a small terrace with a corner seat. On a sunny afternoon, there is no better place to enjoy the views over the vineyards.
Climbing up the spiral staircase, and by way of a yellow-painted corridor, decorated with landscapes, one arrives at the second bedroom, finished in azure blue.
On one side, the views are visible through two windows, on the other, through a sliding glass door which leads to a sizeable balcony facing the morning sun. The light floods the room from both sides.
From the balcony, a picturesque view opens up: from the pine-clad valley, right down to the sea. On clear days, you may be lucky enough to see Mount Teide.
The casa , being a country house , naturally has a forecourt and a garden. There is easy parking in the yard. The garden is laid out with vine-clad pergolas. A quaint wooden bench offers the perfect spot to relax outdoors, while two swings await younger guests. In the garden, bougainvillea, cherry and apple trees bloom, and on the slopes all around, the vines.
