Lantliga boenden i Risco Blanco

Karla Storbritannien

This is a truly fabulous place to stay; a beautifully renovated little finca, comfortable and cosy, stylish and well appointed, full of original Canary Island character. We stayed for one week and absolutely loved it. The house is completely private and not overlooked. It is hidden away in a sunny spot in the mountains with stunning views of the dramatic countryside all round. It’s a dreamlike beautiful place, a little paradise. The finca is tastefully furnished and well appointed with an amazing attention to detail and with lots of thoughtful personal touches. The house is completely renovated to a modern standard. It has everything you need. The kitchen is big and a joy to cook in. The location of the house is a 20 minute drive from the nearest village where one can find shops and restaurants. But it’s best to do the grocery shopping in one of the big supermarkets near the airport before you arrive at the finca. The local shops are small but have all the basics. We cooked every evening as we felt it was a bit far to drive to a restaurant. In the daytime we explored the surrounding countryside. There are many opportunities for stunning hikes in the mountains. The house is in a perfect location for discovering all the islands interior has to offer. Some people might find it a bit hard to get to the finca and should be aware of the access issues. You have to drive 15 minutes down a winding single track road. For parking you have to use one of the small lay-byes. After that you walk a few minutes down a rather steep, rough track to reach the house. Anyone with mobility issues might find this difficult and struggle to carry suitcases and groceries down. It didn’t bother us at all, it is the price you pay to get to stay in such a beautiful, off-the-beaten-track place in total privacy. Absolutely worth the effort and magical when you get there. I highly recommend it. This is a very special place.

Firstly, Heidi was one of the owners (her husband Juan was there too, but I only talked with Heidi) and she was literally phenomenal! I couldn't express it enough. Anything you could need, she was there for. Able to provide advice of local shops, events, etc. 11/10 for customer service to you as a tenant. In terms of the villa, location was great. The weather was perfect, despite being far up in the mountains. The villa itself was small but cosy. Perfect for absolutely everything that could be needed on a holiday. Good shower in the house. The bed was REMARKABLY comfortable for me. I entirely slept brilliantly on it (Kudos to Heidi and Juan for that). Good size of fridge freezer. Good cooker. They even have a TV and DVD player (we didn't use it, but nice that they had it). Even a router there with good WiFi strength. Sofa was comfy enough. Now for my favourite thing - the hot tub!!! 🥰🥰🥰 it was absolutely blissful! Astoundingly cool to sit at night and watch the stars at night in the beautiful bubbling hot tub. Even cooler, these guys didn't charge extra for the use of the hot tub. It was all inclusive. That being said, we didn't need to use it every day. We used it 3 outta 6 days (depends on how busy your holiday is). The other thing to top all of this off, hot tub and villa, was the astounding view. It was so picturesque and tranquil, so quiet (97% of the time. There were 2 dogs very infrequently barking but not loud enough to disturb at night for sleeping) and truly relaxing. Blend all of this together and the amazing 22°C - 26°C, blue skies and beautiful view, this villa was a true slice of heaven on earth. I entirely recommend this. A final note - If you want the one with the hot tub when booking, make sure to reserve the one with the hot tub in the title. It costs a little more but 100% worth it. Price was very reasonable and well worth it!!! If we return to Gran Canaria, it will most likely be here!

The location was very quiet which is exactly what we wanted. The house was lovely and big and had everything you needed (well maybe a kettle would have been nice). The beds were very comfortable and the shower was amazing, it was like you were having a massage while having a shower. I would recommend stopping at a supermarket on the way from the airport as there are no local shops open if arriving late at night. There is a bakery in the little village Tirajana (Tunte) which is a 5-minute drive and has amazing pastries and bread.

Lovely villa at a much higher standard than expected. The numberous outside/ terrace areas and pool were fantastic. Location and views were spectacular with great amenities within walking distance. Great workspace for remote working and strong wifi
