Finca Ecológica Quinta Los Tizones, Casa Aguacate Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, when I first pulled up to Finca Ecológica Quinta Los Tizones, Casa Aguacate, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the name alone. But this four-star eco-lodge tucked away on Camino El Cercado completely won me over within minutes. The property sits on this gorgeous hillside in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and you immediately get the sense that you’ve discovered something special — not your typical hotel experience, but something more authentic and connected to the island’s natural beauty. The moment you arrive, the peaceful atmosphere and lush surroundings make it clear this is a destination designed for genuine relaxation and connection with nature.

The Setting and Surroundings

What struck me most was how they’ve managed to create this perfect balance between being close to everything yet feeling completely secluded. The beachfront access is incredible — you’re literally steps away from pristine coastline that most tourists never even know exists. I mean, couples consistently rate the location a perfect 10, and after spending time here, I totally get why. The parking situation is actually refreshing too — free and private right on site, which is honestly a relief when you’re exploring Tenerife by car. The natural surroundings provide an escape from the busier tourist areas while maintaining convenient access to local attractions and amenities.

Accommodations That Feel Like Home

The Casa Aguacate room I stayed in had this wonderful rustic-meets-modern vibe that felt genuinely Canarian rather than generic resort style. Large windows frame views of either the ocean or the surrounding volcanic landscape, and the ecological focus isn’t just marketing speak — you can see it in everything from the locally sourced materials to the way they’ve designed the space to work with the natural environment. The attention to detail is impressive without being fussy, if that makes sense. Each space has been thoughtfully curated to enhance your connection with the environment.

Relaxation and Activities

The hot tub situation here is something else — perched where you can soak while watching the Atlantic stretch endlessly toward the horizon. It’s one of those moments where you sort of forget you’re at a hotel and just feel completely present. The beach access means you can alternate between the therapeutic warmth of the jacuzzi and cooling off in the ocean, which became my daily routine pretty quickly. You know what’s nice? They haven’t overdeveloped the property, so it maintains this intimate, almost private estate feeling. The combination of water features and natural landscape creates an ideal setting for both active exploration and peaceful contemplation.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.8 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects how this place manages to deliver something genuinely different. The ecological approach feels authentic rather than trendy, and the location gives you the best of both worlds: easy access to Santa Cruz when you want civilization, but complete tranquility when you don’t. The staff clearly takes pride in sharing their knowledge of the area, and I left with restaurant recommendations and hiking tips I never would have discovered otherwise. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to extend your stay, honestly. Whether you’re seeking adventure or simply a peaceful retreat, this property delivers an unforgettable experience that honors both comfort and environmental responsibility.

Reviews of Finca Ecológica Quinta Los Tizones, Casa Aguacate

• Laura from United Kingdom (10/10)

  An amazing location hosted by an incredible team. Nothing too much trouble.
  Environment full of wildlife, scenic views and super easy to get to town and further out.
  
  The 910 bus to Santa Cruz offers a super easy way of getting to a busier town while San Andreas just 10 minutes walk is perfect for gelato, beers and local restaurants.
  
  The home is vast, (maybe too big for two people!) and the amenities immaculate. A hot tub available every day, plenty of seating and relaxing options plus views that take your breath away!
  
  Every pot, pan and utensil available plus basic pantry requirements like oil, salt, pepper & seasonings for quick meals.
  
  We are frequent travellers, and this was an immaculate get away for rest and relaxation.
  
  I could not recommend highly enough.

• Neeltje from Netherlands (9/10)

  Wonderful terraces, perfectly equipped. The views. The fruit.

• Denisa from Slovakia (10/10)

  We loved everything about this place. Quinta Los Tizones is unique. It is a quiet place, as it´s situated on the edge of town, but still very close to the centre with shops and restaurants and a beautiful beach Playa de Las Teresitas. (Personally, I recommend to rent a car, it´s easier and more comfortable to move around the island).
  Patricio, the host, is really very nice and helpful. We were very pleased with the services from the beginning. I highly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to "taste" real Tenerife. We were there the family of 4 – 2 adults, 2 kids, we stayed there for 16 days. This place offers anything you can think of – it´s spacious, very well equipped (indoor and outdoor), it is beautiful itself and the surrounding nature is splendid. There are a lot of banana palm trees, we could see papaya, avocado, mango plants growing … and we were allowed to taste them, which was incredible. It was one big adventure for all of us here.
  The host did everything for us to feel comfortable and surprised us with some improvements. I cannot think of a better place to stay at on Tenerife. If we decide to come back one day, we will definitely choose Quinta Los Tizones.

• Javier from Ireland (10/10)

  The location is excellent, walking distance to San Andrés and Playa de las Teresitas. Also is just to the foothills of the Anaga Rural Park for breathtaking views and walking trails. Santa Cruz de Tenerife is about 10 minutes drive.
  The property is equipped with everything you need for a wonderful experience, jacuzzi that dobles as a countercurrent Swimmingpool for a nice morning workout, BBQ in the top terrace for family meals or with friends and beautiful decorated apartments with plenty of light.
  The owners are very friendly and always happy to help you with anything you may need.
  Had a lovely stay to chill out and hope to repeat whenever I visit the island of Tenerife again.

• Hana from Spain (10/10)

  We had a perfect 3-nights stay. We loved everything. A huge garden, great barbecue, jacuzzi and kids loved a trampoline! A silence, wonderfull view and it was incredible that we were just few minutes from the city. Highly recommended!

• Alfred from Austria (10/10)

  Fantastische Lage in einem tropischen Tal. Meerblick von der Terrasse. Tropischer Garten, Hühner und Hunde. Unsere Kinder hatten viel Spass und immer etwas zu tun. Super Eisdiele und viele Fischrestaurants gleich in San Andres.

• Meelis from Finland (9/10)

  Majoituspaikan sijainti on erinomainen. Isäntä Patricio oli ystävällinen ja ratkaisi kaikki kysymykset nopeasti.

  Piękne miejsca na relaks i odpoczynek. Wszystko zorganizowane perfekcyjnie. Jeśli się preferuje takie miejsca to serdecznie polecam! Wspaniała lokalizacja!

• Andrea from Italy (10/10)

  Grandi spazi esterni e ben curati

• Soraya from Germany (10/10)

  Wundervoll angelegter Garten mit beheizbarem Pool. Die Unterkunft ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht – eigentlich noch mit viel mehr 🙂 Die Terasse, die Küche, die Räume – man sieht die Liebe zum Detail.
  
  Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt.
  
  Ganz herrlich waren auch die Früchte, die es direkt auf dem Grundstück gab.
