Finca La Sorriba

Finca La Sorriba Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Finca La Sorriba, honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this four-star property tucked away on Calle Hoya Pablo. The name suggests a traditional finca, and that’s exactly what you get — but with all the modern touches that make a stay genuinely comfortable. The building has this authentic Canarian charm that feels lived-in rather than manufactured for tourists, you know? There’s free parking right on site, which might sound trivial until you’ve spent an hour circling narrow streets in other parts of the Canary Islands looking for a spot.

Location & Neighborhood

La Guancha isn’t exactly a household name, but that’s actually part of its appeal. This little town sits in Tenerife’s north, away from the tourist crowds but close enough to everything that matters. I mean, you’re about 20 minutes from Puerto de la Cruz if you want beaches and nightlife, but here you get this authentic slice of Canarian life. The locals at the nearby bars actually chat with you in broken English mixed with Spanish, and there’s something refreshing about being somewhere that doesn’t revolve entirely around tourism. Couples seem to really get this place — the rating reflects that, and I can see why.

The Room Experience

My room had this perfect balance of rustic and refined that’s hard to pull off. The traditional architecture shows through in details like exposed beams and stone accents, but everything else — the bathroom, the bed, the little sitting area — feels thoroughly modern. The windows frame views of the surrounding hills and you can actually hear birds in the morning instead of traffic, which was a nice change. What struck me most was how quiet everything was at night; you forget how much city noise you’re used to until it’s completely gone.

Pool & Relaxation

The swimming pool area became my default afternoon spot pretty quickly. It’s not massive, but it doesn’t need to be — there’s enough space to swim a few laps or just float around without feeling crowded. The surrounding terrace has these comfortable loungers where I spent way too much time reading and occasionally napping. The whole setup feels more like a friend’s well-designed backyard than a hotel amenity, if that makes sense. There’s also this little poolside bar area where you can grab drinks without having to trek back to your room.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t the kind of place where you’ll find a full-service spa or five different restaurants, but that’s not really the point. What Finca La Sorriba does well is create this peaceful base where you can actually relax between exploring the island. The staff knows your name by day two, the location gives you easy access to both mountains and coast, and honestly, the whole experience feels more authentic than most hotel stays. If you’re the type who values character over flashy amenities — and especially if you’re traveling as a couple — this place just works.

To book a hotel in Tenerife during major events like the International Music Festival, travelers need early planning as this paradise island draws visitors eager to experience its pristine beaches and majestic Mount Teide.
