Description: This building dates back to the beginning of the XVIII century and was originally home to farmers and cattle farmers. It has been renovated to create a pleasant and welcoming place, but yet it has not lost its original essence. Those were the elements that the owner wished to retain when it came to its renovation.
The main features to be found in the extensive patios and gardens are made from stone, and the ancient instruments made from the stone have been preserved (mill stones, sinks).
From the terraces we can contemplate the magnificent sunsets, one of the most beautiful moments of the day, especially in this area of the island.
The interior of the house boasts a very inviting ambient, having maintained the original architecture of the building. Each corner enjoys natural sunlight and views over the gardens and vegetable plots.
The large swimming pool offers the possibility of enjoying a pleasant dip or a spot of sunbathing in the comfort of the sun beds to be found around the pool’s edge.
The building is set in an area dedicated to the growing of avocados, but also has many other fruit trees that can be enjoyed by the guests (oranges, papayas, medlar tree, mangos, etc).
Another element to be pointed out is the rehabilitation of the ancient cave, to which a BBQ area has been added, complete with tables and chairs to help enjoy these unbeatable moments.
All of this combined with the marvellous views of the sea and pine trees make this house an ideal place for enjoying a few days of relaxation that will surely be remembered for a long time.![]() |  |

| Tijarafe: |
Tijarafe is an area of natural and agricultural landscape on the west side of La Palma with houses spread out over a wide area.
The village of Tijarafe has a small centre with narrow streets. The church, Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, was built in the 16th century in honour of the patron saints. The church contains wll known paintings and statues.
The Casa del Maestro, is a museum whicj shows much of the traditional way of life and culture of the people of La Palma.
Viewpoint El Time is one of the best on the island. The view is over the gorge Angustias, the Aridane valley and the coast of Tazacorte, Puerto Naos and towards Fuencaliente. There is another completely different viewpoint at Baranco Garome.
Tijarafe is an excellent walking area with a large number of well marked and maintained wanlking paths.
In Februari and March the thousands of almond trees burst into flower.
The Fiesta del Diabolo, the devils festival in Tijarafe is well known. At the beginning of September, during the festival week for the patron saints, the devil appears amidst the fireworks.
Under an enormous rock overhang is the bay Poris de Candelaria which is only reachable by boat or a steep twisting footpath. Traditionally this was a landing point for pirates and smugglers, today there is a stoney beach and some beach houses. It is an interesting place to visit, sunbathe and, if the sea permits it, a swim in the ocean. |

| Situation: |
| The house and gardens are to be found at the end of a long track, hence the tranquillity and isolation from the noise of the road. The track is surfaced and is some 500mts from the main road, which leads to the village of Tijarafe after a short distance of 5 minutes, which provides the area with the perfect balance between tranquillity and access to nearby services (chemist, supermarket, bank, etc. ). |
