This traditional rural house is like a museum of days gone by in Tenerife before the industrial revolution changed the way we live.

The local area

The village of Igueste de Candelaria feels like a rural escape from a time gone by but in fact, you’re only 10 minutes drive from the highway that connects to the rest of the island and to the closest town and beach (Las Caletillas/Candelaria).

Everyone says hello to each other in Igueste de Candelaria and even more so in the little hamlet in which is cottage is situated.

Drive 3.5km down to Las Caletillas or Candelaria and you will find supermarkets, banks, pharmacy, restaurants, parks, and more. There are plenty of different beaches to explore here too, as well as Playa la Nea and Radazul beach just 15 minutes’ drive along the coast.

Hiking lovers will adore the Camino Viejo de Candelaria, which is Tenerife’s version of the Camino de Compostela. The ancient path, which Tinerfeños have been walking in pilgrimage for the past five centuries goes from La Laguna to Candelaria across 21 kilometers. You can reach the path a few 100 meters from the cottage and there are hiking sticks available in the cottage for you to borrow.

We highly recommend that you hire a car for your stay so you can explore the beautiful island of Tenerife at your own pace. Private parking is available 20 meters from the house.

Local bus service runs every 30 min Monday to Friday to Candelaria.
