La Casa Nueva de la Montaña Santa Lucia de Tirajana

Incredible rural location, especially for hikers. Amazing mountain views from the balcony. The apartment is very modern, clean and tastefully decorated. The pool area and gardens were also very clean and maintained (albeit freezing) but it wasn't signposted or easy to find so sadly we only found this halfway into our stay. The air fryer in the kitchen was much appreciated and helpful. There's a couple of bakeries and 3 restaurants in the village nearby, but having a hire car is essential if you want to explore or get to the coast (45 mins away in Maspalomas). We spent new years eve at the apartment and there were fireworks visible in the village below. Very friendly local cats!

Santa Lucia de Tirajana is a good location for exploring the centre of the island. it takes about half an hour to get down to the coast road but then it is quite fast to get to Maspalomas on the south coast. La Casa Nueva is conveniently situated about 15 minutes walk from the center where there are a couple of small supermarkets (one obviously providing for the local population and the other aimed at us tourists.) There are numerous mountain tracks and paths in the surrounding hills which we made good use of returning in the evening to a swim in the pool. The apartment is well fitted out, the kitchen provided everything we needed to cater for ourselves, the bed was comfortable and the shower is one of the best I have ever used. We ate all our meals on the terrace enjoying the views of the mountains. We would happily return.
