"Pros: Very quiet rural location, good views of the sea and night sky from upstairs balcony, 20 minute drive to the stylish but small Tazacorte and Playa de Tazacorte with a beach and a few restaurants and shops. No mosquitoes in April so we could relax sitting out at night, lack of air conditioning was not a problem after I had temporarily repaired bedroom fly screen enabling bedroom window to be left open. Good laundry facilities, good response to fix a problem we noticed when first arrived. The property remoteness and isolation was a positive aspect for us as it ensured peace and quiet. As we live in a rural area it was not an issue, however this may be a little unsettling if you are not comfortable being remote and isolated, the property has good security and the island felt safe, we noticed numerous lone female travellers which was a good sign. Cons: We had a lovely completely quiet and relaxing week but in there are a few facts I think we should of been informed of in the property description, it may not have put us off but it would have reduced the initial disappointment, concerns over being asphyxiated and lack of being honest about the situation. The property is described as close to Bombilla and Nueva beach, we had planned to walk to these places especially Bombilla due to having a restaurant. It fails to mention Bombilla is still a security guarded prohibited zone due to carbon dioxide gas from the lava and Nueva is destroyed by lava, therefore there is nowhere to walk to due to the properties remoteness. More worrying is that there are still government signs attached to the property gates warning of asphyxiation due to CO2, if this is out of date please remove them. The nearby large town of Puerto Naos is also a prohibited no go security guarded zone. Once outside the perimeter wall of the property you are in a typical agricultural area, the narrow gravel tracks are bordered on both sides by very high breeze block walls so there are no views when driving in the area. Flies everywhere, this may be seasonal or all year around due to the plantations? but we decided it was better than mosquitoes and to be fair they are all over the island. For those who prefer a VERY firm bed you will be fine; however the waterproof mattress cover was uncomfortable and noisy, it would benefit from a soft washable mattress cover over it." ~Neil
