Finca Ecológica Ferrera. Alojamiento Rural. Overview

First Impressions

When you first pull up to Finca Ecológica Ferrera. Alojamiento Rural., you’ll immediately understand why this four-star gem scores a 9.8 with guests. The rustic stone buildings blend seamlessly into the volcanic landscape of Arafo, and honestly, the setting feels like something out of a nature documentary — but in the best possible way. You know what really struck me? The complete silence, broken only by birdsong and the distant rustle of banana plantations. It’s the kind of place where you actually hear yourself think again.

Location & Setting

Arafo isn’t exactly a household name, but that’s precisely the point. This small town sits perfectly positioned between the coast and Teide National Park, giving you the best of both worlds without the tourist crowds. The finca itself occupies this incredible spot on Camino Las Vigas where you’re surrounded by traditional Canarian agriculture — I mean, you’ll wake up to views of terraced vineyards and those distinctive banana groves that define this part of Tenerife. Couples absolutely love it here (they rate the location 9.5), and after spending time wandering the quiet rural roads at sunset, I totally get why.

The Accommodation Experience

The rooms here feel authentically Canarian without being kitschy about it. Think exposed wooden beams, local stone accents, and windows that frame the landscape like living paintings. What I really appreciated was how they’ve managed to keep that rural charm while ensuring everything actually works properly — the Wi-Fi is solid, the beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are modern enough that you’re not roughing it. The ecological focus isn’t just marketing speak either; you’ll notice solar panels, water conservation systems, and locally-sourced materials throughout the property.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that matters more than you might think — the free private parking is genuinely valuable when you’re exploring Tenerife by car (which you absolutely should be doing from this location). The staff knows the area inside and out, so they’ll point you toward hiking trails that most tourists never find, or recommend that little family restaurant in town where the locals actually eat. Recent guests consistently rate this place 9.6 for location, and after using it as a base for both mountain hikes and coastal drives, I can see why the rating is so high.

Why Guests Love It

Finca Ecológica Ferrera works because it delivers something increasingly rare — genuine tranquility without sacrificing comfort. You’re far enough from the resort areas to feel like you’ve discovered the “real” Tenerife, but close enough to everything that day trips are totally manageable. The ecological approach feels authentic rather than performative, and the rural setting means you’ll fall asleep to complete darkness and wake up to some of the clearest skies you’ve ever seen. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to extend your stay by a few days, just to slow down and remember what vacation is supposed to feel like.

Reviews of Finca Ecológica Ferrera. Alojamiento Rural.

• William from United States (10/10)

  Absolutely beautiful place with a beautiful view, with fantastic facilities. Nestled high up the side of the mountain, surrounded by grapevines, Finca Ecológica Ferrera was a dream house with a Great kitchen (with everything you need) and living room with gorgeous views out to the sea and two super comfortable bedrooms with luxurious bedding.
  The living room had an internet-enabled TV, but the views out the windows (especially the sunrises) were more compelling! :^) We loved the wood-powered hot tub and the ping pong table. The wine was delicious. The place was ~ 45 minutes to 1 hour from some of the volcano activities in which we participated. I only wish we had stayed longer!

• Sebastian from Denmark (10/10)

  The Jacuzzi was wonderful.
  The panoramic ocean and Mountain View.
  And their home made wine was amazing.

• Daniel from Spain (10/10)

  We’ve been twice to this place and absolutely love it. It’s so peaceful and quiet.
  Great for the dog too

• Anatolij from Czech Republic (10/10)

  The cottage is in an amazing location with a wonderful view of the coast and the surrounding vineyards. The place is very peaceful, undisturbed by any other tourists. Birds sing in the morning, lavender smells and pines rustle. The interior is perfectly renovated and resembles a mountain hut. The equipment is very modern and clean. Beds with warm duvets are excellent. The owner is very accommodating, communicates quickly in English via WhatsUp. Upon arrival, a large basket with local products was prepared. It is possible to taste local wines and beer right at the cottage. We would love to come back to this place again.

• Kayleigh from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Stunning place to stay, amazing house with fantastic views and aminities. The host was great at keeping in touch and even left some surprise local produce on our arrival, will be going back for sure 🙂
  
  *A note that if you stay at this location you will need to hire a car, especially if you plan on visiting other areas of the island during your stay. The property is fairly remote, the drive up and down! are mostly single roads track and through a narrow village, something to be aware of especially if your are an inexperienced foreign driver.

• Natalia from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The views are as in the pictures – amazing. Breathtaking sunrises. The house is very clean. Everything has been done for a high standard. We really liked their wines.
  The kitchen is well equipped with all you need for cooking your meals (salt, pepper, oil.., tea, coffee), there were even laundry capsules. We have enjoyed the bbq and the hot tub (bath robes provided). In the afternoons it would get cloudy and because you're at 1000m altitude, you're literally in the clouds.

• Tracie from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Wow – this hidden away lodge is beautiful. The View, The Hot Tub, The Wine, all this in a beautiful vineyard set on a hillside overlooking the Eastern Coast of Tenerife. The lodge has been expertly renovated to a very high specification and is both spotlessly clean and beautiful.

• Beckie from Spain (10/10)

  We had a wonderful stay. The finca was stunning, very clean and modern.
  Full equipped kitchen and comfortable beds.
  Will definitely be returning

• Hichem from United Kingdom (10/10)

  I stayed at Finca Ecológica Ferrera with my wife and my kid 9-year-old kid. The location was magical, we were in the middle of an eco farm where they mainly produce wine/honey. It was high up the mountain overlooking the village and the view on the sea was amazing. If you love being in a quite/serene place, then this is the place for you. The nights were super quiet (can't remember the last time I slept in such a quiet environment) and the skies were clear and full of stars. Juan, the host, was very helpful and replied promptly to my messages. He even came and started the (wood fire) jacuzzi for me, I then enjoyed 2 hours of jacuzzi looking at the stars. I highly recommend this place.

• Daiva from Lithuania (10/10)

  Patiko viskas!! Tai ne nakvynė, o nuostabus potyris! Važiavome labai stačiu kalnu į vynuogyną ir jautėme padidėjusį adrenalino kiekį 😊. Atvykome tiesiai į debesis (kurie po pusvalandžio išsisklaidė), patekom į ramybę, kuria norėjosi mėgautis kuo ilgiau. Namas puikus, pasitiko krepšelis taip pat. Vasario mėnesį vakare buvo 10 laipsnių, bet viduje buvo šildytuvai, o vakarą leidome šiltame kubile. Kitą dieną 11 val. turėjome ekskursiją po vynuogyną, užtrukome virš 3 val. Kelionės metu po Tenerifę turėjome nakvynes 4 skirtinguose viešbučiuose, bet apsilankymas šioje vietoje atnešė daugiausiai įspūdžių bei potyrių!
