Casa Rural Vera De La Hoya

Carlos the owner was an amazing host who looked after us all so well. The guest house is in a stunning location, really clean and the breakfast was tasty. We would highly recommend this place. If you are looking for a place to stay a night or two in real Tenerife then look no further.

The location is ofcourse quite rural. A car is essential. But great view, tranquility and fresh air. Charming rooms and courtyard. But as mentioned by others the walls are very thin. You can almost hear the neighbours breathing. Room 5/6 are probably the ones with the most disadvantage. Beds are against the same paper thin wall. The weather was not pool weather, but it looked soothing for a hot day. Nearby town of San Miguel offers a few restaurants.

I have never experienced tranquillity like it. Quick drive to the property from the airport (we used TopCar Autoreisen, booked in advance and collected car at the airport – highly recommend!), Casa was easy to find (with google maps!), and nicely hidden away. Car hire is essential! Check-in was nice and easy, and despite the lack of English spoken by the staff, and lack of Spanish from us, we managed. Our room was huge, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Although the walls are very thin! It does feel like your neighbours are in the same room. However, we found most people respectful, once they realised we could hear everything they were saying. On the plus side, this Casa is used by hikers, so people of all nationalities stay there. The views from the terrace are incredible, and the location is fantastic for exploring. Both rural and coastal places are easily accessible. There are some great restaurants within a 5 minute drive. Although beware... only one local restaurant is open on a Monday and books up quickly. Luckily a pizza takeaway in San Miguel saved our evening! Breakfast is basic, but does the job. And comes with the added bonus of use of the fantastic kitchen. All in all, this is a very friendly, perfectly charming little place, with everything you need for a change of scenery, away from the hustle and bustle. We'd love to return when the weather improves, to enjoy the terrace and pool more. Can't fault it!
