Our Finca ‘Casa Rustica’ is located in the green north western region of Tenerife in the village of “El Tanque”, located app 1,600 ft above sea level in the hills above Garachico near Icod de los Vino and far from the mass-tourism resorts of the south and a 35 min drive from Puerto de la Cruz. The panoramic view from the terrace across the Atlantic is breathtaking. The house was first built in 1881, but was recently restored and totally refurbished. From the large terrace you can enjoy the magnificent panoramic view of the Atlantic, looking across small vineyards. Tenerife’s newest and most spectacular golf course, the Seve Ballesteros designed Buenavista Golf Club is nearby, a must-play for any golfing enthusiast. There are great walks within a short distance. The area is famous for its superb wines which can be sampled in the local restaurants. Our favourite is ‘Monteverde’ where you can enjoy some of the best local food available in Tenerife at extra-ordinarily low prices.
