La Casita - Beautiful Holiday Cottage with Panoramic Sea View
Cottage with 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 2
Built approximately 120 years ago, La Casita is one of the oldest cottages in the tiny hamlet of Lomo de Los Machos y Las Tierras (Ridge of the Men and the Land). If you are looking for peace and tranquility, that little piece of magic, then here you will find something simply special.
With fantastic views over the sea and a backdrop of lush green mountains to the rear, la casita really is in a stunning location.
It is said that La Palma is one of the last places in Europe with a wonderful climate and little tourism. It is true that here, you can slip back in time and rediscover simplicity and beauty. The tranquil atmosphere of your traditional cottage will allow you to relax, enjoy the pure air and admire the incredible sea view.
La Casita was the original cottage built on the land of Finca Franceses. Later, a traditional farmhouse was built alongside it. Thus, La Casita, is now attached to the farmhouse.
The finca nestles in the fantastic scenery typical of the North Both La Casita and the farmhouse were built in the traditional style of the time with resources available nearby such as stone and pine. They are now completely restored, whilst retaining original and very special Canarian features.
La Casita has a wonderfully rich feeling of the past and yet happily benefits from selected modern conveniences.
La Palma is walking country - historically because of necessity and latterly because walkers appreciate its stunning and vastly contrasting landscapes. From the highest point of 2426m at Roque de Muchachos, swooping down to azure blue seas you will encounter pine forests, lava fields, banana plantations, almond groves and much, much more.
Discover hidden settlements of the north like Franceses, linked by ancient donkey tracks.
Bodega There is also a separate bodega (stone-built dwelling, traditionally a wine cellar) close to the casita. Guests are welcome to enjoy this special place which is cosy and enchanting and will enthrall you with its magical and calming atmosphere. Enjoy a romantic dinner by candlelight, or perhaps a game of cards, together with a glass of local red wine to make an evening to remember.
