Finca La Punta

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of places in Tenerife, but Finca La Punta genuinely surprised me. It’s tucked away on this quiet road in Icod de los Vinos – and I mean actually quiet, not the fake “tranquil oasis” kind of quiet you usually get in hotel descriptions. The first thing that hit me when I pulled up was how the place just sits there naturally against the landscape, like it’s been part of the hillside forever. The volcanic stone walls blend right into the surroundings, and honestly, if you’re driving too fast down Camino la Punta, you might miss the entrance completely.

What really gets me about this place is how they’ve managed to feel both polished and authentic at the same time. The rooms – well, they’re more like little apartments really – have these thick stone walls that keep everything cool during the day (trust me, you’ll appreciate this in summer), and the windows frame these incredible views of the Atlantic that change completely depending on the time of day. I spent way too much time just watching the light shift across the water from my terrace. The whole property has this lived-in feel that’s hard to fake – worn wooden beams, local ceramics that look like they were actually chosen by someone with taste rather than bulk-ordered, that sort of thing. And the gardens? They’re not manicured to death like most hotel grounds. There are actual Canarian plants everywhere, including some massive dragon trees that make you feel like you’re in a nature documentary.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to explore the real Tenerife. Icod itself is just a few minutes away – you can walk to the famous thousand-year-old dragon tree, though I’d recommend going early morning before the tour buses arrive. The local restaurants in town are fantastic (ask about the goat cheese), and you’re close enough to the coast that you can be swimming in natural pools within fifteen minutes. But here’s the thing – you’re also far enough from the tourist madness of the south that you can actually hear yourself think. I mean, the closest you’ll get to noise pollution is the occasional goat bell from the neighboring property, which is more charming than annoying. The staff clearly know their stuff too – they gave me directions to hiking trails I’d never heard of, and their restaurant recommendations were spot-on. Sometimes these boutique places try too hard to be hip, but Finca La Punta just feels right. It’s the kind of place where you actually want to hang around the property instead of just using it as a base, which says something.

• Beautiful modern spacious apartment in very scenic setting – Terry from United Kingdom – 4 April 2025 (10/10)

  An amazing property in a beautiful location, we were blown away with the apartment. It was very clean, modern and stylish and would highly recommend staying here. There were beautiful scenic cliffs behind the property with very secluded bays for swimming, we loved our time here and would definitely book again if we ever returned. The host was so lovely and was on site to offer local advise.

• fantastic place with amazing sea view, great location and great host – Zhiqiang from United Kingdom – 14 March 2025 (10/10)

  I was a bit unsure when I booked the property because I didn’t see a sea view photo from the room in the property photo collection. but actually it’s stunning! the view from the living room and balcony is so good! the location is quite nice. very quiet with full privacy. there’s a huge Lidl around so very convenient to buy stuff. the garden and the pond is a true botanic paradise and it’s so impressive! I bet it will be super chill to lie down around the pond in summer time. the property has few accesses to the seaside so quite convenient to the cliff to enjoy the view even the sunset. the hosts are also very kind and helpful and giving us a lot of privacy. It’s 100% a hidden gem and worthy to recommend to all.
  
  What could be improved: nothing indeed.

• Exceptional – Joana from Switzerland – 10 March 2025 (10/10)

  We absolutely loved this little paradise of peace! The natural pool is absolutely beautiful, we loved spending our time there, as is the wonderful balcony with hammocks and views of Teide and the ocean! The garden is handled with such great care and you feel like in a completely different universe when you‘re there. The owners have created some true magic here.

• A peaceful getaway surrounded by palm trees, a cactus plantation, and the ocean. – Iulia from Romania – 30 December 2024 (10/10)

  The villa and its surroundings, including the garden, pool, and cactus plantation, are fantastic. The accommodation had everything we needed, and the mini kitchen was well-equipped with an oven, dishwasher, and coffee maker (with coffee pads included). It had everything for cooking. As a welcome gift, Edith gave us delicious Canarian bananas and chocolate. I loved everything about the place, especially the peacefulness and the sound of birds chirping throughout the day. Edith is one of the most thoughtful hosts I've ever met during my travels. 🙂
  
  What could be improved: Some people mention that the road to the villa can be tricky, but if you drive slowly, it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, most roads on the island are similar, with steep sections.

• Perfect holiday getaway – Wojciech from Poland – 12 December 2024 (10/10)

  Hands down one of our best stays ever! Clean and spacious apartment with wonderful views of the cliffs and the sea, wonderful owner, magnificent garden, silence and calmness all around. Highly recommended!

• Magical place on Tenerife – Anastasiia from Italy – 6 October 2024 (9/10)

  We booked a small room, nothing fancy, but the bed is comfortable and we were glad to have a full equipped kitchen. The territory is just incredible, very lush and green. We enjoyed the calmness and quietness. The natural pools that could be reached by a small hike downhill is something magical, a secret place you won’t find on a map. Edith is a very friendly host.
  
  What could be improved: We wish we had a cleaning during our week stay, nothing much, just changing sheets and towels. The last 1,5 km of road is narrow and steep.

• Edith, many thanks for your warm welcome and your help during our stay. We will come again. – Daniele from Germany – 22 July 2024 (10/10)

  Very comfortable apartment with gorgeous view on the sea. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood. Wonderful private garden full of cacti and succulents. No problem parking the car.

• Exceptional – Pavel from Czech Republic – 30 May 2024 (10/10)

  In total, we spent two weeks at Tenerife and Finca La Punta was our first accommodation out of total three and we could not have picked a better place! Big, spacious, super-clean appartment with two bedrooms with comfy beds and two bathrooms with all you need, fully equipped kitchen with everything you might need for cooking including olive oil, salt, sugar, some spices and enough kitchen-ware to cook for our family of four. Plus a dishwasher and a washing machine around the corner in a separate room. Our little girls loved the private patio with sun loungers in front of the appartment and directly next to a cactus field, the swimming pond with lots of fishes and the garden next to it, which is a thing of a real botanical beauty. And the swing and an improvised trampoline … all you need to entertain the little ones. We enjoyed this oasis of peace, total silence, listening to the ocean sounds at night and observing the stars. Edith, the owner, welcomed us herself and was super kind, friendly and really helpfull with everything.
  Just a few things worth noting – the finca is totally off any main road, so you will need a car! As described in previous ratings, the house is at the end of a steep road – nothing too scary, but a little bit of driving skills is good to have 🙂 Lidl supermarket is super close. There is a nice short trek to a natural pool on the cliffy seaside. Might seem a bit harsh path, but after a careful consideration, we did it with little girls 3 & 5 years old, so it's totally fine if you're careful and know what you're doing.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing worth mentioning when considered that you basically live in the countryside and on a cactus plantation. We really enjoyed our stay a lot!

• Amazing place with beautiful garden and views around – Justas from Lithuania – 8 March 2024 (10/10)

  Truly amazing place. Nicely decorated apartment with all the amenities. Everything was really clean. Got the first floor with a huge terrace and a whole cactus garden just for ourselves. The views are just mesmerizing.
  There are natural pools in the ocean just few minutes away.
  
  What could be improved: Probably the only downside that it's located at the end of a narrow road downhill, which might be a bit challenging to reach for inexperienced driver. On the other hand, you get full privacy for this reason 🙂

• Beautiful stay in nature – Kellingtondawg from Ireland – 2 March 2024 (10/10)

  Truly beautiful place to stay! A calm oasis. Going up north is totally different from staying in the south, I definitely recommend it. Edith is a lovely host and we had a great time here swimming in the natural pool, climbing up to the nearby cliffs, reading in the hammock, walking through the Cactus field, and petting the two cats. Couldn't have had a better time!
