Finca Los Ciruelos Casas Rurales

Wonderful
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Very nice and comfortable place.
  : An electric kettle would be plus. There should be better way for sending pwd for WiFi than through WhatsApp, which I do not use.

Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : If you want to enjoy a rural idyll, then yes. A simple house, in the old style, with a garden. I couldn't be more happy about the woow view. There are many other apartments in this price category where you can get a much better view of both the ocean and the Teide.
  : Relatively cool appliances, cold floors. If you are icy, then you definitely need thick socks or slippers. The warm water in the shower is very limited - if you like to enjoy a normal length shower, this will not be the right place to stay. Two people will not really be able to take a bath in a row. There is no electric kettle - you could only get warm water for tea through a mocha cup. For people with bad driving skills in serpentines, it is better to choose other apartments, because getting to the apartments is a steep one-lane road up the hill. It wasn't a problem for us, but it will be a real challenge for someone else. And the entrance gate - the electronic drive should be repaired, it costs a couple of hundred euros, but it will be a great relief for everyone. And a list about saving resources in apartments and what can and can't be done on whatsapp half a kilometer long - it's not something to send to guests...

Very Good

  : Location and view are the best. It is higher up around a 10 min drive from the city center but very quiet and a rustic but authentic and very nice old restored building. There is a pool and a play area for kids with toys and a swing. The WiFi is great as is tidiness. A car is a must have for this location. It is very quiet here and we hardly saw our neighbors from the other two casas. The outdoor area is very beautiful.
  : Some more kitchen items would be helpful but thats just a minor inconvenience.

Traveller Type:
  : The rooms and the equipment was good. The garden is nice. The area is quiet.
  : We had booked this location because the pictures show a big terrace with nice wooden loungers and big parasols. The reality was the we were welcome by the cleaning lady (!) who told us that the picture shows the private part of the owner Antonio which we were not allowed to use. Instead we had for 4 people a much smaller terrace with simple plastic chairs/loungers and a simple parasol. We were told that the wooden loungers were broken long ago and we are the first ones complaining about the wrong pictures. We think advertising with wrong pictures is not correct and devalues this generally nice place, also because a few days later this "private" terrace was used by other guests.
