Große Finca 19Jh, Pool, Terrasse, nahe Santa Cruz

Lovely characterful and spacious old finca within easy reach of Santa Cruz, by foot, bus car or taxi. Two large living rooms, well equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms (one en suite). Wonderful garden full of fruit and vegetables available for guests to pick which was a real bonus as we cooked at home most evenings. Particularly enjoyed the plentiful passionfruit and ‘nispero’ fruit, amazing rainbow chard too! Comfy beds with extra blankets for the cooler February evenings, we all slept well. Plenty of hot water from a gas boiler topping up the solar power. The pool looked lovely but, as expected, was a bit too cold for this time of year, would be great in the warmer months. It was a little cloudy during our stay but we weren’t cold thanks to the throws and blankets so we didn’t need the available wood burner. Our local contact Susann was lovely and very helpful, easy to contact and prompt in responding. Thank you for the early check in and for keeping such a lovely garden.

Beautiful rustic finca with lots of character. Very spacious. Outside areas with fantastic views. Very clean. Beautiful location. Great swimming pool. Well equipped kitchen. Washing machines.

The house is in the middle of beautiful surroundings and quiet. It's also quite spacious with the bonus of a swimming pool. The location was good, not too far from anywhere.

The location was further away from the centre of Santa Cruz than the pin indicated, and I was initially disappointed by this, but the location proved to be ideal. Birdsong was abundant, and the night skies were incredible, and there were some lovely walks within easy reach. The house itself was beautiful, with the thick stone walls keeping the property cool in the day and a perfect temperature at night. Gardeners will note the care that has been taken with the planting and layout. As a wildlife lover, I enjoyed hearing choughs, owls at night, swifts, blackbirds and a myriad of other birds. Some of the lizards in the vicinity were really tame, and would eat bananas from our hands. Our young daughter found this fascinating.

Special compliment to Ruth, our local contact, who kept arranging things while we suffered a medical emergency, even after we had already left the house. House and location were both fantastic, but Ruth was the best. Thanks a lot, both Ruth and Nano!

The location is excellent far enough out of Santa Cruz to be quite but within easy reach of the capital. Number of restaurants within easy reach & overall a fantastic location.
