Finca Don Victor

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at my share of “boutique” hotels that promise the world and deliver mediocre continental breakfast, but Finca Don Victor actually lives up to its reputation. When I first pulled up to this place on Calle la Barrera, I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical – the street doesn’t look like much from the main road, and honestly, I drove past it twice before spotting the entrance. But once you’re inside, you get it. This isn’t trying to be some flashy resort; it’s more like staying at your incredibly well-connected friend’s family estate, if that friend happened to have impeccable taste and deep pockets.

The whole property feels genuinely Canarian in a way that’s hard to fake. You know how some places layer on the “authentic local charm” so thick it makes you cringe? This isn’t that. The courtyards smell like jasmine in the evenings, and there’s this gorgeous old laurel tree that probably predates half the buildings in Playa de San Juan. The rooms – well, they’re what you’d expect from a solid 4-star, but with thoughtful touches that show someone actually cares about the details. The bathrooms have these amazing rain showers, and the beds are legitimately comfortable (I’m picky about mattresses, trust me). What really got me was the breakfast situation – they serve it until 11 AM, which is perfect if you’re on vacation time, and the local honey they put out is from beehives somewhere up in the hills. Small thing, but it matters.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to be near Playa de San Juan but not right in the thick of the tourist chaos. You’re maybe a 10-minute walk to the beach, and there’s this little local bar called Casa Tomás about five minutes away where the staff actually eats lunch – always a good sign. The only minor thing I’d mention is that if you’re driving, the parking situation requires a bit of maneuvering, but the staff will help you figure it out. I mean, with a 9.9 rating, they’re clearly doing something right, and after spending four nights there, I can see why people keep coming back. It’s the kind of place where you actually feel like you’re experiencing Tenerife rather than just visiting it, if that makes sense.

  Miejsce trochę na uboczu miejscowości, blisko lokalnej plaży, idealne na wypoczynek od miejskiego zgiełku, taras z leżakami i małym basenem w ekspozycji na południe. Mieszkanie bardzo dobrze wyposażone.

  Alles sauber, alles neu, sehr stilvoll eingerichtet. Es hat alles was man braucht. Wir haben es geliebt!

  Prachtig huisje midden in een bananenplantage. Zeer vriendelijke gastheer die je overal bij helpt en voorziet van lekkere bananen en papaya. Als je iets te kort komt vult de gastheer het direct aan. Diverse restaurants en terrasjes op loopafstand in het dorpje San Juan. Verder is het een heerlijk rustige omgeving en ook fijn om vanuit daar wandelingen te maken. Een heerlijk terras met eettafel, ligbedjes, parasol en zwembadje maakte het verblijf echt top. Zeker een aanrader om hier te overnachten!

  Eine wirklich außergewöhnliche Unterkunft mitten in einer Bananenplantage. Alex ist ein sehr sympathischer Gastgeber, der uns u. a. mit frischen Bananen und Papaya versorgt hat 🙂 Wir haben die Ruhe dort sehr genossen. Restaurants, Bars und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Klare Empfehlung für eine ruhige Auszeit.

  La casita de la Finca Don Victor donde nos alojamos nos encantó. Desde la decoración, se nota el cariño con el que Alex y su familia han escogido cada detalle, hasta la ubicación de ensueño pegando al mar con esos atardeceres mágicos. Era el primer viaje con nuestro bebé y no pudieron estar más atentos de que no nos faltase nada. Además la bandeja de fruta estaba de 10. Si volvemos a Tenerife nos volveremos a quedar en la Finca sin duda!
