We just came back from a 2-week stay at this villa. And we enjoyed it a lot. Great villa, very Canarian and build with true craftmanship and eye for details. It's a renovated finca and it is situated on the slope of a hill. The road leading from the main road to the finca is a dirt road and although it may look a bit wild at first sight, it's perfectly do-able with any car.
The owner, Desmond, is a gentleman and speaks fluent english and spanish (maybe even more languages). Every time we needed to get in contact with him, he responded swiftly and correctly. We enjoyed communicating with him and also with his gardener and housekeeper.
The house itself is grand.... Nicely decorated with tasteful elements and nice furniture, you feel right at home when you enter. Plenty of room, beautifully built in closets in the bedrooms, great bathrooms (what a water pressure and temperature!) and a very useful and cosey kitchen and dining room. And then the garden: 5000 square meters, beuatifully and frequently maintained by the very professional gardener Gabriel, an outdoor BBQ-kichten (we bbq'ed on our first day and found the BBQ-equipment to be very good) and a very nice (heated) pool...
During our first week we stayed in the house with 4 persons, but after our guests left, we still enjoyed the house with the two of us. The property is totally walled (and the walls are covered with green plants), so we also felt very secure. We enjoyed the birds that frequented the grounds and were not bothered by any rodents or insects, neither in or outside the house. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay in a great surrounding (Orotava valley). We had been in this area before, but were again impressed with the hospitality, kindness and good humour of the people living there. But then again, who wouldn't become a better person living on this side of Tenerife! We certainly hope to come back!
