CASA FINCA El ROQUE

CASA FINCA El ROQUE Overview

First Impressions

When you first pull up to CASA FINCA El ROQUE along the TF-352, you’ll immediately understand why this four-star property has earned such stellar ratings from guests. The rural Canarian architecture feels authentic — not like some tourist interpretation — and the setting against La Guancha’s rolling landscape is honestly breathtaking. I mean, you’re getting that genuine finca experience here, complete with traditional stone walls and wooden balconies that have clearly been lovingly maintained. The fact that there’s free private parking right on site is actually a huge relief, especially when you’re navigating these winding Tenerife roads with rental car anxiety.

Location & Surroundings

La Guancha isn’t your typical tourist hotspot, and that’s exactly what makes this location so special. You’re positioned perfectly between the coast and the mountains — about a 15-minute drive down to the black sand beaches, but also close enough to the forest trails that you can be hiking through laurel woods within minutes. Couples absolutely love it here (they’ve rated the location 9.7), and I get why — there’s something incredibly romantic about being tucked away in this peaceful corner of Tenerife while still having easy access to everything. The village itself has that authentic Canarian charm where locals still gather in the plaza, and you know what? That feels pretty rare these days.

The Property Experience

What strikes me most about this place is how it manages to feel both refined and completely unpretentious. The traditional finca architecture has been updated with modern comforts, but they’ve kept all the character intact — thick stone walls, exposed wooden beams, and those gorgeous views across the valley. The rooms have that perfect balance of rustic charm and contemporary amenities that actually work (you’d be surprised how often rural properties get this wrong). Recent guests have been raving about the overall experience, giving it a 9.6 rating, and honestly, spending time here makes those numbers feel completely justified.

Practical Perks

Beyond the obvious charm, there are some genuinely useful touches that make your stay smoother. The private parking situation is clutch — you don’t realize how stressful it can be finding parking in rural Tenerife until you don’t have to worry about it. The location has earned a 9.4 rating from recent guests, which speaks to how well-positioned you are for exploring both the northern coast and the interior of the island. I actually found myself using this as a perfect base for day trips — close enough to Puerto de la Cruz for dinner, but far enough away that you escape all the crowds and noise.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something about CASA FINCA El ROQUE that just gets under your skin in the best way. Maybe it’s the way the morning light hits the mountains from your window, or how you can hear absolutely nothing but birds and wind in the trees. Guests consistently mention feeling like they’ve discovered a secret — this upscale retreat that somehow hasn’t been overrun by tour buses and Instagram crowds. The combination of authentic Canarian hospitality, stunning natural surroundings, and that perfect sweet spot between rustic and refined creates an experience that feels both special and genuine. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to extend your stay by a few more days.

Apartments in Tenerife provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Canarian restaurants and experience daily life in charming villages like Garachico and Puerto de la Cruz.

Reviews of CASA FINCA El ROQUE

• Ieva from Lithuania (10/10)

  We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful house in the mountains. The stunning view of the ocean was absolutely breathtaking and made every moment unforgettable. The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the start. They also went above and beyond by recommending lots of great places to visit, which made our trip even more enjoyable. Their hospitality truly made our experience exceptional. We can’t recommend this place enough and hope to return someday!

• Dardan from Ireland (10/10)

  What stood out the most was how clean everything was. It was remarkably clean. The property is a perfect stay for families and especially with small kids that can just roam around freely on the grass. There's even toys and board games. Massive props to the host Lara. Thank you once again.

• Malgorzata from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The house is lovely, nicely furnished, well equipped, very clean and tidy, comfortable beds, with nice hotel grade pillows, great travel cot for our little one with some fluffy blankets and full duvet and pivot set. Loads of toys, board games and puzzles. It is nice and dark during the night and there is almost no noise from the road below. The swimming pool looks great, however we haven't tried it, there is a wooden plank on rails to cover the pool so the toddlers are safe. Lovely views, and toddler safe garden, host very responsive and supportive. Visiting cats are a bonus. The driveway is a bit of a challenge for a weaker car but doable, please make sure you get the exact location from the listing description and check on the GPS if you are being guided to the property gates, it is visible from the main road (yellow wall with highlighted name), but if you are tired and going there for the first time you may miss it (we did). From the South airport take the east coast route rather than the west one (west is serpentines, steep climbs and poorly lit roads when you approach the northern part, east however is a highway all the way up there).

• Otto from Finland (10/10)

  Wonderful views!

• Marchiena from Netherlands (9/10)

  Wonderfull view. Multiple options to sit in sun or shade.
  
  Great pool with jets. Pool was hidden under the sundeck, so safe for children. Our kids (4 and 7) had a great time playing and swimming.
  
  Nice host, she gave us helpful tips during our stay.
  
  In the evening it cooled down nicely, so perfect for a great night sleep. All windows have screens.
  
  Kitchen has everything you need. And was very clean.
  
  We had a cat coming to visit, a great bonus for our kids.
  Cat is not allowed into the house, so no cats hairs etc (don't know if he visits all the time or not).
  Cat does like attention 😉
  
  Private parking under a roof. Nice to keep the car cool 😎
  
  Quite area. The only sounds you hear are nature, cars on the road and sometimes the dogs. But no other people.
