Standing on a steep hillside just below the
handsome old church in the small agricultural village of La Guancha,
this beautifully restored, 100-year old village house affords
absolutely breathtaking views over fields and vineyards down to the
coast. To enable guests to make the most of this panoramic outlook,
the large garden that surrounds the house has been lovingly
landscaped, creating several distinct areas in which to relax and
unwind.
The house itself is divided into two
self-contained dwellings. At one end is a cosy apartment for a couple,
comprising a bedroom with twin beds and a small seating area, a
separate kitchen with fridge, hob and microwave oven, and a shower
room.
The main house is very spacious and comfortable,
consisting of a large living-dining room with open fireplace and TV
(local channels only), a fitted kitchen (open plan to the lounge)
equipped with hob, oven, microwave and fridge, a twin-bedded room with
shower room on the ground floor plus a bedroom with double bed and
bathroom on the upper floor. Many delightful original features of this
very traditional Canarian house have been retained, and carefully
chosen antique furnishings, ornaments and old photographs lend the
interiors the warmth and character of a real family home.
The garden is shared between the two properties,
but is large enough for both parties to enjoy their own space and
privacy. There is a communal barbecue area, as well as a laundry room
with a washing machine.
Situated between the cosmopolitan town of Puerto
de la Cruz (15 km) and the unspoilt Isla Baja region in the
north-western corner of the island, Casa Cho Juan is ideally placed
for exploring northern Tenerife, and we have included a hire car in
your holiday here. The nearest beach is a 15-minute drive away, and
the traditional local towns of Icod de los Vinos and Garachico with
their selection of restaurants are a similar distance. The nearest
local restaurant and basic shop, however, are just 300 metres from the
property, so you can occasionally leave the car at home.
