A Little Gem – away from it all

We spent 12 blissful days staying in this light, comfortable casita, perched above the pretty village of Tabayesco in the north of the island. It is nestled in a large garden full of cactus and local trees, which is wonderfully tended by the owners. A large sitting room with sofas, well equipped kitchenette and a huge double bed in the room to the rear with a lovely bathroom which had a roomy walk in shower. All was immaculately kept, quality linen and towels changed weekly and house cleaned beautifully. The owners who lived in the house further up the hillside were very helpful. The property also has two small patios, where you can sunbathe and have breakfast/lunch/dinner, while overlooking the little town of Arrieta on the coast which has a beach and several lovely restaurants and a supermarket. As the property is elevated it is particularly beautiful in the morning and evening when you can watch the farmers across the valley tending to their fields and listen to the birds calling in the mountains behind or the waves on the beach. Finally it is very good value for money and perfect for people who like peace and quiet.
