Casas Rurales Los Guinderos

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Casas Rurales Los Guinderos? The fact that it’s tucked away on Calle el Reventón where most tourists never venture, yet it’s only a ten-minute walk from Icod’s famous dragon tree. I mean, you get this authentic neighborhood feel – locals walking their dogs in the morning, the sound of Spanish conversations drifting from windows – but you’re still close enough to hit the main sights without breaking a sweat.

The place itself is honestly one of those gems that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something special. These aren’t your typical hotel rooms; they’re actual rural houses that have been converted with real care. The stone walls keep things cool even when it’s blazing outside (which, let’s be honest, is most of the time in the Canaries), and there’s this rustic charm that doesn’t feel forced or touristy. Each casa has its own character – some with little terraces where you can actually see glimpses of the ocean if you crane your neck just right, others with these tiny courtyards that catch the morning light perfectly. The owners clearly put thought into the details… proper kitchenettes with everything you actually need, not just a hot plate and a prayer.

What really sets this place apart is how it sits in the neighborhood. You’re staying where real people live, shopping at the same little market on the corner where the owner remembers your face after day two. The parking situation is pretty straightforward – none of that circling-the-block nightmare you get in busier parts of Tenerife. And honestly, the location works better than you’d expect. Sure, you’re not stumbling distance from Puerto de la Cruz’s nightlife, but you’re perfectly positioned for exploring the north coast. The winery tours are practically on your doorstep (Icod has some seriously underrated local wines), and when you want to escape the crowds at Teide National Park, you can be there in about forty minutes. Plus, there’s something to be said for coming home to a quiet street after a day of tourist madness – the contrast actually makes both experiences better. The 9.2 rating isn’t just inflated reviews from people’s relatives; this place genuinely delivers on that promise of authentic Canarian hospitality without the tourist trap pricing.

Reviews

• Exceptional – Jimmycricket from United Kingdom – 15 February 2025 (10/10)

  Excellent accommodation, well equipped and comfortable, a little chilly in the winter months with only a open fireplace, however, still very cosy. Outside area is wonderful, with sea and mountain view's, a spacious patio with secure parking and lovely barbecue. The property is very secure and safe. Very ♿ accessable for disabled guests. We highly recommend this property. The owners were very nice and very helpful. The access to the property is a little challenging as it is quite a step lane, but no problem to overcome.
  
  What could be improved: Chilly in winter months.

  Best stay we had in Tenerife. Amazing location, rural landscape, seeing both Teide and the sea. The house is really nice and cozy, the fireplace is awesome, the jacuzzi is nice and relaxing, kitchen is well equipped, the bed is comfortable. The hosts are also really helpful and nice, I can't recommend this place enough.

• Casita rural preciosa – Cristina from Spain – 12 April 2025 (10/10)

  La casa es preciosa. El Jacuzzi del baño es espectacular! Nos ha encantado. La cama muy cómoda y tiene cierto encanto. El lugar es muy rural y especial para desconectar. Los últimos metros de camino hacia la casa se hacen por un camino un poco empinado pero se puede llegar sin problemas.
