Hidden gem
As many others have stated, this is a very peaceful location. Despite being in Puerto de la Cruz, the only thing you can hear in the distance are some cockerels. A hire car is recommended. And last but not least a big thank you to Laura who was very helpful and answering all of my questions very quickly.

Perfect secluded stay.
We had super stay, we were family (2 kids -10 & 11). The villa is exactly as described (if not better). The layout of the Villa is perfect, much bigger that expected, with two spacious bedrooms at opposites side of the villa, a lovely reception and cosy TV den & a fully fitted kitchen. The outside/front and rear areas a beautifully kept with a lot of different seating areas/zones, the garden is well maintained and the pool was perfect for dip and play - in addition the roof terrace is huge with very impressive views. I would highly recommend this villa if you want to have your on space & privacy. We hope to return A+

A very restful and enjoyable stay in a fabulous villa.
From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we continued to be impressed with this well appointed, secluded and tastefully-furnished villa. The communication with the agent was first class, clear, helpful and prompt and it seemed that nothing was too much trouble for her. We have already recommended this property to a neighbour and would love to return again ourselves.

Puerto de la Cruz's best secret
We have had a wonderful holiday. The villa is beautiful, clean and private. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the views and the sun. In the morning all you can hear are the birds and the waves breaking on the rocks at the beach. The pool was immaculate and a maintenance guy came in twice in the week to clean it and water some of the plants. We stayed at the end of March to the beginning of April and it has been hot and sunny all week with temperatures up to 30 degrees. It is an absolutely stunning place for a holiday and the local property manager couldn't have been more helpful.

A plantation secret in development
The owner describes the facility as a secret in a banana plantation. This correct: no close neighbours but with a fantastic view on the mountains, the Orotava sea valley, Puerto de la Cruz and the sea itself! The house is furnished in a very cozy way but investments are partially necessary (and will be done this year following an announcement) All in all: unique and to recommended!

Attractive, mature place
We all loved the old house and its furnishings and its peaceful setting. The owner is very charming. It does however need upgrading. Plumbing, taps, showers not good, the electrics poor, the kitchen oven kaput. No dishwasher or microwave For six, two camp beds and two single beds were poor, only the double bed was good.

Traditional family home with everything you need
We came across this property by accident when searching the internet for a holiday property. How lucky were we?? A truly lovely, tranquil and welcoming home. The 5 of us including 3 teenagers aged 19, 16 and 13 all loved it. Close enough to the beach and other attractions when needed, but far enough away to get a true feel for North Tenerife. We were glad that we hired a car, although we didnt use it everyday, but it did make it easier for getting around and shopping. The pool, although unheated did warm up naturally and was very welcome both morning and evening. Owners Andreas and Isabelle were very welcoming and whilst we didn't need to ask for anything they were living nearby and were available all week, incuding delivering a surprise package of fresh croissants and morning goods on our second day! This property is not modern, but it is clean, spacious and full of character. I would thoroughly recommend it and would love to stay there again.

Lovely and peaceful traditional house in midst of banana plantation
We've had a fantastic and relaxing time at the villa. Kids and us loved it. Fantastic quiet location, beautiful garden and veranda and great views of the sea, sunsets and Teide from the roof terrace. Short 5 minutes drive to Loro Parque or Playa Jardin or Puerto de la Cruz centre. Andres the owner was very funny and helpful with tips for the best restaurants and places to go to. Great holiday choice.

Perfect Location and Stay
This property is amazing! My two daughters and I stayed here May 12-26, 2017 and loved it! It is perfectly located near Puerto De la Cruz, truly surrounded by banana groves and peaceful & tranquil. The booking process was easy and Ana was very responsive. Andres (owner) and his family live right next door and checked on us frequently to ensure our stay was perfect. The two bedrooms are far apart (perfect for us since we have a heavy snorer in the family!), the kitchen well equipped and the outdoor space....simply beautiful! We spent many sunsets on the rooftop terrace and some lazy days next to the pool. We rented a car for our stay but you really don't need one if you intend on spending your time in Puerto as the bus stop is a short walk away and the bus goes just about everywhere. We traveled much of the island and found an auto rental to be most convenient. If you have an auto, Santa Cruz, Los Gigantes and many other sights are not more than an hour away. This is the place to stay to slow down...mingle with the locals and enjoy the peace and quiet you really need when on vacation. Thank you Ana and Andres for a perfect vacation! When we return to Tenerife, we will book this property again! <3 <3 Sara, Alanna and Natalie

February Break
The property was located just outside the town of Puerto, amoung banana plantations. Access was via a narrow and with a short section of unmade road. However once you arrive you are greeted by Andrés and Isabelle, who live adjacent to the house. They are very friendly and helpful. The house is large. Two double bedrooms each with its own bathroom, a comfortable lounge and an additional sitting room with a TV. The kitchen was perfectly adequate but could have been improved with some better cooking utensils etc. however the beauty of the house is the outside areas. A large covered patio which accommodates a full dining table and separately, rattan chairs with a low table. This leads onto a large lawned garden with shrubs and palm trees. It's within the garden that the delightful pool is set. There are sufficient sun loungers around the pool and given the palm trees, there are areas of shade if required. There is a barbecue to use and a full roof terrace, which seems a little blank but affords fantastic views of the La Orotava valley. Overall our stay was very enjoyable and would take a note for a return trip.

Peaceful location amongst the bananas
Wonderful, peaceful location situated in amongst banana plantations. Views of the sea and Mt Teide from the property. Access road is a little bumpy so you need to approach with caution. A 30-35 minute downhill walk to Playa Jardin in Puerto de la Cruz and a 6 minute drive to nearest supermarket with the motorway just beyond. Plenty of restaurants/ cafes in town. Property is large with all the essentials needed but could benefit from a microwave and dishwasher. Plenty of outside space with a lovely colourful walled garden laid to lawn, small swimming pool, under cover patio/ dining area and roof space with panoramic views. Our hosts, Isabel and Andres were friendly and helpful and just next door if assistance was required. Would return if visiting the island in the future.

A wonderful oasis in an otherwise busy but lovely area of Tenerife.
The house and garden were worth the rather tricky approach on rough terrain. Don't rent a fancy car! Once the house was reached it was wonderfully peaceful and private. Lovely to have a small private pool to come back to when hot. And a gorgeously situated patio area that caught the sun all afternoon and evening whilst the house remained cool during the day but cosy at night. Andreas and Isabel's house is homely and slightly quirky, which we loved. We were there for a week and the weather was perfect. Loved visiting Loro Parque, Mount Tiede, Jardin Botanico and swimming in the rock pools at Garachico. Our eight year old loved swimming in the harbour. Whilst not being as aesthetically pleasing as the beach it was much safer to swim in without the big waves and she could dive from the harbour walls. We all had a very lovely and relaxing holiday.

Lovely quite Villa for a restful stay
Overall impression Very Good. Only problem was that although we had rented the whole villa we were not allowed the choice of bedrooms, we were given the room with 2 single beds. The double bedded room was locked, they said for decoration.

A lovely, quiet finca, feels rural but actually very close to Puerto De La Cruz..
Very well kept, spacious finca. It feels as though you're in the middle of nowhere but actually very close to Puerto de la Cruz and other great little towns, beaches and attractions in the North of the island. The owners, Isabel and Andres, are very close and provide a great meet and greet service. They also supply a superb list of things to see and so that most tourists would probably miss. Would recommend this place highly.

Peace and quiet
A lovely comfortable villa in a peaceful and quiet location, but close to the action in Puerto de la Cruz (if you want it). Isabel, Laura and Andres were all delightful and made us feel very welcome when we arrived. They even left us a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table and a couple of beers in the fridge. The location was perfect as a base for exploring Tenerife, especially Mount Teide. Highly recommended.

Sa situation géographique aux abords de Puerto de la Cruz nous a permis de découvrir l'ensemble de l'île aisément tout en profitant du calme de la bannerai environnante.

Haus mit Platz und Aussicht
Inmitten einer Bananenplantage ist man hier wirklich ohne Nachbarn - und kann absolute Ruhe genießen. Die Aussicht Richtung Küste und Richtung Berge ist vor allem in den frühen Morgenstunde (El Teide zeigt sich dann meistens in ganzer Schönheit) und nachts sehr beeindruckend. In fußläufiger Umgebung gibt es einige wenige Restaurants. Ein eigenes Fahrzeug ist aus meiner Sicht trotzdem unerlässlich. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Ein paar mehr Teller, Tassen, Gläser usw. wären allerdings schon gut - bei maximal möglichen 6 Gästen ist der Schrank sonst nach jeder Mahlzeit leer. Danke möchten wir sagen für die schnelle Reparatur der Toilettenspülung - das war sehr professionell und freundlich! Auch der überfällige Austausch der Matratzen hat letztlich funktioniert und freut sicher auch folgende Gäste. Ein großes Dankeschön möchten wir vor allem dem Housekeeping hinterlassen.

Mitten in den Bananenplantagen - Erholung pur
Wir waren eine Woche im Mädels-Urlaub. 4 langjährige Freundinnen. Das Haus war ideal für uns. 2 Schlafzimmer (eines auf der Südseite und das andere auf der Nordseite) jeweils mit eigenem Bad und Zwischentür. Ideal für eine Familie mit 2 Kindern, 2 Pärchen oder wie in unserem Fall 4 Freunde. Die Küche und der separate Wohnraum befinden sich im Zentralbereich des Hauses. Davor liegt die große, überdachte Terrasse. Es gibt noch ein Fernseh- Lesezimmer, dort könnte noch eine nicht allui große Person auf der breiten Couch schlafen. Der Garten mit Pool ist sehr gepflegt. Zum Haus kommt man über einen ca. 300m langen privaten Weg, der am Eingang mit einem Tor verschlossen ist. Die Schlüsselübergabe erfolgt über ein Schlüsselkästchen. Der Code wird kurz vorab übermittelt. Es empfiehlt sich ein Auto zu haben, da das Anwesen doch sehr isoliert liegt, auch wenn die Bushaltestelle "La Asomada" in ca. 500m zu Fuß erreichbar ist. Warmes Wasser ist nicht ausreichend verfügbar für 4 Personen, aber wenn 2 abends und 2 morgens duschen, ist auch das kein Problem. Die Küchenausstattung könnte optimiert werden. In der Tat (wie schon in anderen Kommentaren geschrieben) sind so gut wie alle Messer stumpf und Pfannen zu wenig. Dies sind jedoch meines Erachtens Kleinigkeiten und vom Vermieter auch ohne großen (finanziellen) Aufwand lösbare Themen. Die Korrespondenz mit der Vermieterin Ana und auch mit der Person vor Ort Laura waren imminent und seht präzise. Wir werden ganz sicher wieder kommen, wenn Ana uns wieder aufnimmt😉. Vielen Dank auch für die Flasche Wein und Wasser und den Obstkorb, eine sehr nette Geste.

prachtig huis, een met een paar kleine verbeterpuntjes
Fantastische woning: zeer rustig gelegen, ruim, dakterras en een mooie tuin. Het huis is een aanrader voor wie een verblijf in Tenerife zoekt weg van het drukke Costa's. De aandachtspuntjes: de 2 enkele bedden in de masterbedroom hebben nood aan een nieuwe, betere matras en een paar extra verwarmingselementen zouden in de winter wel handig zijn.
