HolidaynorthTenerife Casa rural Montiel

Quiet and amazing view!

Nothing

Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft am Hang des Teide. Mit toller Aussicht auf Icod de los Vinos. Wunderschön, morgens auf der Terrasse über den Wolken zu frühstücken oder am Abend auf dem "Ausguck" zu sitzen. Wandermöglichkeiten in direkter Umgebung.

Die Lage hat ihren Preis, in Form einer nervenaufreibenden Anfahrt einen unglaublich steilen Berg hinauf. Hier heißt es 1. Gang und schön eingekuppelt lassen - sofern man wie wir keine Automatik hat. Dann läufts spätestens nach ein paar Versuchen wie von selbst ;-)

Stunning location with beautiful views and direct access to pine forest hiking tracks. Lovely traditional house with nice courtyard garden. We also really appreciated the outdoor kitchen and BBQ.

As mentioned by other guests, the road/track up to the house is steep and bumpy (especially at the very end) - that is definitely not for the feint hearted. We managed to get up in a Fiat 500, but it was scary. The images in the property description give the impression of very light and airy rooms, but in reality it's quite dark inside (to be expected from a traditional house, I guess). The furniture in the lounge is also different from the photos in the description and quite dated. There is no washing machine, even though it says so in the property description. We stayed as a couple, so had no privacy issue re. the 2nd bedroom, but as stated, bedroom 1 & 2 are one large space with a partial dividing wall.

Location in the Mountains was great Great view to the sea in one direction and Teide in the other

The beds are narrow and the two sleeping rooms are not fully separated (walls are just two meter high and are not up to the ceiling). As we were alone it was no issue but with two couples it would have been terrible. The house is cold. In the summer I would rate it higher but as it is offered during winter/spring I need to reduce the rating. The eletronic heater are not good enough but especially in the bathroom there is first no heater but also no glass in the window! So inside it's as cold as outside or even cooler given the thick walls. And as it is in the mountains and not the north side it is even colder than down at the coast. I regret the downgrade as the house and the location is otherwise great but this needs to be improved it is offered in winter. I also checked the description again and nothing was mentioned about this

Absolutely great place, view to the volcano in one direction and the ocean in the other. Calm and close to nature, in the end of village. The house is really spacious, with small yard, parking and with outdoor kitchen with barbecue. The indoor kitchen is equipted very well too. We were there in February and new modern electric heaters, which are in each room, were absolutely OK for comfort temperature. Last part of the route to house is little bit difficult for driving, but it not so hard as is mentioned in some reviews, we had Opel Astra and we had not problem even when the road was wet. Resume - great value for money, perfect place for people who do not need to be in contact with bars, night life, etc, but evaluate calm, nature, relax and the charm of the original old village building.

There is no wifi and data service from cell phone signal is quite weak. No problem for us, but especially kids could be nervous :)). It is nothern part of island=in some time there is a fog during evening and afternoons, and the temperature is lower then in the south.

Lovely home and location. Beautiful view of the water and Icod. So peaceful being surrounded by nature and very private. The bedrooms can get really dark at night and it’s quiet so you’ll sleep like a baby. The kitchen had most dishes and utensils that you’d need and some basic condiments. The indoor fireplace and outdoor BBQ were fantastic. We recommend bringing your own firewood before you head up so you’ll have enough.

As most people mentioned the road to the house is extremely narrow and steep. Not for the feint of heart but we managed ok with our VW bug. One of the lounge chairs was broken and not useable.
