Finca la Chirita - For hikers, starry nights

In a large private estate, surrounded by trees and native plants, is this small rural house in the middle of nature. The ideal place to enjoy nature and silence.

If you want to come with 6 people, there is the possibility of also renting the old tool room, adapted (see photos). It is located 30 meters from the main house on the same property. It has its own kitchen and bathroom and can be reached by car. The added price would be € 30 a night + € 45 final cleaning. If you are interested, communicate in your request. It would be charged separately instead

It has the best views over the Teide of all of Tenerife.

An ideal reference point for walks and excursions.

The property is located in the mountains, but with the coast and the beach a short journey of 20 minutes. In the area we recommend San Marcos Beach or the natural ponds of Garachico.

Complimentary wood for the fireplace is offered with the delivery of the house, and more can be ordered, against a fee.

A garden with a view

Spent a week at La Chirita for a bird-watching holiday as a couple in our early 60's. The cottage is on the rustic side, but contains everything that you need for a comfortable self-catering holiday. The jewel in the crown is the location amongst the trees, in the foothills of the pinebelt, with a large, private, wild 'garden' full of native plants/flowers, and birds - canaries dominate, but there are also flyby's of both local pigeons, amongst other endemics. The view of El Teide is fantastic, in an ever-changing skyscape, in which it is occasionally obscured. You could just sit there all day. We bought the Crossbill Nature Guide book, which added greatly to our enjoyment and appreciation of the island, as it includes suggested routes both to drive and hike, not just for us birdwatchers. Shopped in local panaderias for packed lunches. All in all, a great week - easy, no problems, everyone very friendly. Thank you for sharing your lovely property.

In the clouds

The place was amazing, very confortable and clean, with absolutely everything you need. The location is a little hard to get to, even after we had someone guide us for the first time. But once you learn it you are good. We went everywhere from there and really enjoyed our time in Tenerife. Thank you

A LITTLE PARADISE

If you seek Peace, Tranquility and Nature on a break from an Urban life, “La Chirita” may well be your paradise on earth with everything you need for a comfortable break. Hand-built by the owner in the traditional style, this solid little Finca is surrounded by Canarian pines and shrubs with spectacular views of Tiede and the coast. At night, the lack of any light pollution means you can gaze up at a sky that is the best (official) for star-gazing within just 4 hours or so from Europe unless you want to go all the way to Chile or Hawaii. La Chirita is a perfect place to explore the north of the island and the two little supermarkets in El Amparo, a six minute drive down the mountain, have everything one needs but of course, Icod de Los Vinos is not far away for a big stock up. There are lizards and rabbits and I saw 11 different birds including the very pretty Blue Chaffinch as well as Chiff Chaffs, Buzzards and others for the birders amongst readers. I was staying on my own and felt completely safe as I knew I` would. Guillermo and Maria were so welcoming. The organic eggs, wine and delicious Canadian potatoes were a welcome addition to a basic larder of everything needed for a few meals while you find your feet and the local shops. Even neighbours who care for the property left me fresh garden vegetables. One note to add. Google temperatures use Icod de los Vinos , down the mountain as the nearest base to gauge the temperature. This can be misleading if you are checking out the weather in advance of your stay. It is several degrees cooler on the mountain. From mid-September, the clouds often sweep in for as little as 20 minutes or all day. Not all mountains do this but Tenerife has many micro-climates as an explorer will discover. It’s lovely! Those on a short break seeking guaranteed sunshine should stick to the coast or further south. I had the luxury of being there for over 5 weeks and getting a tan not a priority. I hope to return for many years.

Für uns war das Super, aber man muss sich darüber im Klaren sein, dass dies eine einfache Hütte ist und kein 4Sterne Hotelzimmer. Die Lage ist traumhaft, super ruhig mitten im Grünen. Die Strasse ist de facto nicht befahren und ebenfalls entsprechend ruhig. Den einen Punkt Abzug gab es für den starken Rauchgeruch aus dem offenen Kamin. Das kann man nicht verhindern, muss man aber auch wissen. Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden und können die Hütte für Ruhesuchende nur sher empfehlen.

Totale Enttäuschung

Leider eine furchtbare Erfahrung. Die Heizung war kaputt - bei 5 Grad und Regen. Dafür gab es etwas klammes Holz für 30 Euro. Das brannte kaum und hat die Hütte komplett voll gequalmt - warm war es dann immer noch nicht. Auf Anfrage wurde erst am zweiten Tag geantwortet und wir konnten dann am dritten Tag auschecken, beide mittlerweile krank. Die drei Tage mussten voll bezahlt werden und es gab von FeWo direkt nicht mal einen Anteil der Buchungsgebühr zurück. Zudem war die Hütte staubig und voller Spinnweben, wir mussten erstmal fegen und putzen. In den Truhen liegen von Motten zerfressene und uralte Decken, alles ist staubig und verlebt. Die Ausstattung ist insgesamt sehr mangelhaft, es gab nicht mal einen Wasserkocher. Viele Küchenutensilien (etwa die French-Press zum Kaffee kochen!!) waren kaputt. Kochen kann man dort eigentlich gar nicht. Bei der stressigen vorzeitigen Abreise habe ich meinen Rasierer vergessen. Dieser wurde trotz mehrerer e-mail Abssprachen (Austausch mit der Agentur ist zudem sehr unfreundlich) bisher nicht wie versprochen zurückgeschickt. Unter anderem deswegen schreibe ich nun diesen Totalverriss, was ich bisher noch niemals getan habe, aber es ist eifach alles zu ärgerlich.

Nice authentic house

We stayed 10 days in this nice house, and had a great time. The house has a nice quiet location and a great view of the Teide volcano. The fireplace helped to warm the cool evenings of February. The North coast of Tenerife is very beautiful with lots of lush vegetation and colorful flowers,.even in February. Be prepared for some mist coming from the ocean, but this moisture helps the vegetation. Erica and Maria were very helpful with the small problems we had.

Rustikales Haus in wunderbarer unberührter Natur.

Rustikale, romantisches Haus inmitten von nahezu unberührter Natur. Einmaliger Ausblick auf den Teide und die Küste. Tolle Terrasse mit Hängematte zum Genießen. Fahrt zum Haus ist gewöhnungsbedürftig und nur etwas für geübte Fahrer :) Kommunikation mit den Vermietern problemlos und sehr nett, haben schnell und unkompliziert geholfen! Kleine Kritikpunkte: keine Türen (außer zum Bad), starker Geruch nach Kamin, der in alle Kleidung zieht.

Teneriffas grüner Norden:

sollte man erlebt haben. Was für "Naturliebhaber", Wanderer, Familien mit Kindern. Rauhe Atlantikküste, baden an schwarzen Sandstränden oder in Naturpools an der Küste. Berge, Lavafelder. Grüne Wälder. Interessante Städte. Ruhe im Ferienhaus. Nichts für Leute in Feierlaune oder auf Kontaktsuche. Mietwagen sollte man haben.

Schönes stimmiges Haus in angenehmer Naturumgebung

Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefühlt und bei dem heißen Wetter die schattige Terasse genossen. Naturnahe schöne Umgebung mit tollen Blick auf den Teide und auch, wenn die Passatwoken es zulassen, bis zum Meer. Das Haus ist schön und stimmig eingerichtet. Bei unserem Aufenthalt waren wegen der Waldbrandgefahr leider viele Wanderwege geschlossen, zum Wandern kommen wir dann lieber im Frühjahr wieder.

Idyll am Fuße des Teide-Nationalparks

Wir wurden von Maria sehr freundlich empfangen und von El Amparo im Kfz-Konvoi zum Häuschen geleitet. Wir fanden ein sehr liebevoll eingerichtetes Ein-Raum-Haus mit sehr schöner Terrasse und großem Grillplatz dahinter vor. Die Ausstattung der Küche ist zweckmäßig, Wohnraum und separate Schlafecke sind gemütlich, Bad/WC sauber und funktional. Den Kaminofen haben wir gerne genutzt - es wurde Abends mitunter kühl (liegt auf rd. 915m). Ab Nachmittag kamen mitunter die Wolken vom Teide herab und sorgten für Abfrischung. Das Grundstück, ca. 1 ha groß, ist für Pflanzenliebhaber ein Traum. Die nächsten Nachbarn sind weit und gelegentlich, weitab, ein paar Hunde und Hühner zu hören - sonst: Stille, ein Traum! Direkt vom Häuschen kann man zum Nationalpark Teide wandern (einfach 13km, 1.200hm). Ein eigenes Kfz ist zwingend erforderlich, die durchaus steile aber asphaltierte Zufahrt ist zu bewältigen (immer auf den großen Straßen bleiben, auf keinem Fall dem Navi folgen!!!). Wir hatten einen sehr, sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt, haben die Ruhe und die Aussicht außerordentlich genossen und können uns vorstellen, wieder zu kommen!

Mitten in der Natur, mit fantastischer Aussicht

Wer einen ruhigen Platz für sich abseits der Touristen-Hochburgen sucht und keine Angst vor engen Bergstraßen hat - ist genau richtig. Das Haus ist rustikal und gut gepflegt, die wilde Natur beginnt direkt hinter dem Haus. Alles was man braucht um sich selbst zu versorgen ist im Haus vorhanden. Der Kamin hilft in den manchmal kühlen Abendstunden, wenn man nicht die Heizkörper anschalten möchte. Wir wurden von Ankunft (verspätet) bis Abreise von Erica und Maria bestens betreut. Vielen Dank dafür!
