Finca Carrillo

Finca Carrillo Overview

First Impressions

Tucked away in the quiet village of Arico Viejo, Finca Carrillo feels like stumbling upon a well-kept secret. This four-star property sits on Calle el Hediondo, which honestly sounds more dramatic than it is — you’re actually in one of Tenerife’s most authentic corners, where locals still outnumber tourists. The moment you pull up, there’s this immediate sense of calm that washes over you. It’s not flashy or trying too hard, just genuinely welcoming in that way rural Spanish properties do so well.

Location & Surroundings

What strikes me about this spot is how it manages to feel completely removed from the tourist crowds while still being accessible to everything you’d want to explore. Arico Viejo is one of those places where you can actually hear the wind through the palm trees, and the views stretch out toward the coast in a way that makes you understand why couples rate this place so highly. You’ve got free parking right on site, which is honestly a blessing — no circling around narrow village streets looking for a spot. The location gets an 8.0 rating from recent guests, and I get why. It’s that sweet spot between authentic local life and easy access to the island’s attractions.

The Property Experience

Finca Carrillo has this relaxed, countryside vibe that immediately makes you slow down and breathe deeper. The swimming pool becomes the natural gathering point — not huge, but perfectly sized for the property and surrounded by enough space that you never feel crowded. I mean, this is the kind of place where you find yourself lingering over morning coffee longer than usual, just because the pace encourages it. The architecture feels true to the Canarian style without being overly rustic, striking that balance between comfort and character that’s harder to achieve than it looks.

Why It Works for Couples

There’s something about the intimacy of this place that couples immediately pick up on — maybe it’s the way the property feels private without being isolated, or how the rural setting naturally encourages those long conversations over wine. The village setting means evening strolls actually lead somewhere interesting, and you’re not competing with crowds for romantic sunset spots. Honestly, it’s the kind of place where you rediscover why you liked each other in the first place, away from the usual distractions and tourist rush.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.6 rating doesn’t happen by accident — it comes from those small details that add up to something special. The staff genuinely seems to care about your experience rather than just going through the motions, and there’s this authentic warmth that you can’t fake. You know what really seals it though? It’s how the place feels like a real discovery, something you’ll want to tell friends about but maybe not post all over social media. Finca Carrillo delivers that increasingly rare combination of genuine local character and solid comfort that makes you want to extend your stay by a few more days.

Reviews of Finca Carrillo

• Kate from United Kingdom (10/10)

  We love everything about this property and its beautiful location. We found it perfect to relax here for a few days after a busy week in Las Americas. The pool is the absolute best!

• Eddie from United Kingdom (9/10)

  We were met at the property and handed the keys, whilst being shown around, which is few and far between these days. The photos that others have posted, do this property no justice at all, as it is huge.
  We read that the beds were uncomfortable, these must have been changed as I haven’t slept so well in years, but that may been the memory foam pillows…
  
  The kitchen facilities are big and spacious with a very large dinning table to go with it and everything is very modern.
  
  The roads leading to the property are a challenge at first, as it seems you doing an uphill slalom, with little room for error on either side…..The left turn into the gated courtyard was a bit of a challenge as it is very uneven and again, no margin for error.
  
  The local town has a fuel station, a pub, a bakery, a butchers, a supermarket and an amazing little pizzeria.
  
  All in all, a great week away, staying in an amazing secluded property with the best fews for every angle.

• Sonia from Spain (10/10)

  El lugar se encuentra en un entorno magnífico para desconectar, con mucha tranquilidad. La casa es muy amplía, con todas las comodidades y limpia. La piscina y los jardines espectaculares. Seguramente volveremos.

• Outi from Finland (9/10)

  Talon sijainti oli erittäin rauhallinen keskellä maaseutua. Sekä talo että puutarha todella tilavia ja hyvin hoidettuja. Oma uima-allas ja viihtyisä allasalue antoivat hyvät puitteet rentouttavaan lomaan. Keittiö hyvin varusteltu ja vuoteet hyvälaatuisia. Vietimme lomaa kahdestaan, mutta talo on niin iso, että siinä voisi majoittua jopa 6-7 henkilöä.
  Avulias ja ystävällinen isäntä.

• Weronika from Poland (10/10)

  Świetna posesja! Dużo różnorodnych miejsc do spędzania czasu, wygodne łóżka, dwie łazienki, duży salon i stół do wspólnych posiłków. Piękne miejsce, zwłaszcza gdy chce się spędzić wakacje z dala od ludzi/sąsiadów. Dostępny Netflix 😉
