TenoHomes The Sunset Escape in Carrizales, Masca

Fantastic views and property itself

Access road 😂

Beautiful, quiet place. A wonderful view. Daily deliveries of bread were a pleasant surprise. A good starting point for exploring the island, although the roads are a bit winding :) The apartment is well-equipped, very comfortable and clean.

That the holiday was over and we had to go back 🙁

everything was great, no comments

First of all, for the type of accommodation and location (traditional and rural), it's been really thoughtfully designed to give the guests maximum comfort while keeping the traditional look and feel. No funny smell, everything was fairly new, the bathroom felt modern, the kitchen too, I especially liked the dining table and breakfasts and dinners with the beautiful views from the window, and the fact that you could open many doors to the yard, and walk freely between it and the kitchen. The apartment was spotlessly clean. The bed was comfortable, the mattress did not transfer movements, the big thick blanket kept us warm even in January. There's an electric portable heater too, if someone likes more warmth. Since we were 2, we didn't use the upper floor at all, but it seemed to have everything doubled except the kitchen. The water in the shower was hot if needed. From the location you can start a hike up the hill, and in less than an hour you reach the main hiking trail that you can go towards Masca or Baracan, you can also hike direction to the sea, you can also walk to Masca on the street and then a small hiking path, which takes 20-30 minutes all together. There are also buses, they are cheap and reliably late, but only few per day, so you need to plan. So even without a car, the location was great for us, since our purpose was hiking. Extraordinary attention of the host, they really try that the guests feel great and take care of every little issue. The area is beautiful, and being able to really take the time to enjoy it was great. I would book it again :)

Two minor things, that started to bother me only after few nights there. Firstly, indeed the lower temperature in January made it a bit unpleasant in the mornings and in the evenings. The heater would help but you can have it in only 1 place at a time, also not good to waste so much resources I guess. Without the heater it was not "too cold" (if you brought some long sleeves), just not comfortably warm. And during the day it was warmer outside so it was enough to open the doors. Also, there's a bit of an issue with the millipedes. They are harmless I believe, and seem clean (don't leave any dirt), but each morning we had to pick up 2-3 of them from the kitchen floor (so not too many, but still). You can also see them all over the place outside in the area, so they just live there. Over 4 night stay they never appeared in the bedroom or bathroom. It was not a big deal for me, but over time I started missing a hotel. For someone insect phobic this can definitely be challenging. I think in the summer with warm weather and with a bit shorter stay, these would not be an issue.

Location

Beautiful place in a beautiful setting in a very tiny town away from the crowds with very nice facilities inside. The kitchen was well-equipped, the two living rooms had Internet-enabled TVs and the bedrooms were comfortable. The place was close to a very nice trail head with amazing views. Very close to Masca and was on the way to Garachico through some absolutely amazing roads through the mountains -- incredible views and jaw dropping switchbacks!

Not much really. It's important to know going in that the place is pretty remote without a store close by. Be sure to have your groceries and other supplies. Also, I am grateful that I didn't drive any of the roads with harrowing switchbacks in the dark.

Everything! The place is so nice and clean, with a great view!

Very modern, but rustic style cottage. We liked everything: rooms, vindows, lamps,, , Particularly the bed was very comfotable with high-class bedclothes and the kichen so nice and homelike. All reconstruction is made very professionally. The surroundings is very good for relax and hiking, too. The view to the sea and La Comera is healing for our body And last but not least we thank the hole team that take care of us. M&H Finland
