The place is wonderful, especially due to the view (towards sunset in the evening, the North Coast, Teide all above) and the garden with an avocado and a mandarine tree, as well as a palm tree and flowers. Terrace to enjoy it, although it was a bit cold in this (unusually) cold February (just in case: heating works well).
You have got everything that you need, kitchen is very well equipped and not a cheapy. Spices, sugar, various ingredients left from previous visitors>practical. The kitchen is large with an eating table, and a living room on the other side of the wall, everything very spacious.
Unusually, a second sleeping room is in a second building just besides, but this was somewhat attractive. Bathroom with a decent shower, and a separate toilet between both buildings.
We went there with two children of almost 4 and 6 and they liked it very much, although we had to tell them not to pick all the flowers... Some games for the garden and beach stuff were available. TV has many channels including some kids TV. Don´t forget the babyphone as kids will sleep in the other building. One warning: Kids should have reached an age that they understand that they should not climb the walls. From the terrace it goes down a bit.
Everything was very uncomplicated, the lady giving you the keys lives close by and was on the spot quickly every time (e.g. when gas bottle was empty). Contact with the landlord nice and easy as well, everything very relaxed and friendly... thank you!
As many have written before, it is quite a steep drive up there (the house is on 500 m, despite being quite close to the coast). Parking is insofar difficult as there is a wall opposite the gate. We got a nice limousine which was a bit too long. Fortunately I did not produce any damage on it... BTW, navigation system could be wrong. We used Here and the address was incorrectly shown far above on a field.
Practicalities: Super Dino Supermarket in town which is not bad and has some bread, although we found the bread best at Lidl in Puerto. Opposite there is a fruit/vegetables shop. Area around the town hall is nice for a stroll, and there are a few cafés around. Big supermarket is Alcampo in Puerto de la Cruz, but I hated it: too big. Mercadona towards La Laguna or in Icod is better.
Well, that´s all for now. Thanks for the nice week at your place and we will probably come back.
