Finca Villa Huerta

Hotel Description

You know what’s funny about finding great places to stay? Sometimes the best ones are hiding in plain sight on quiet residential streets where you’d never think to look. That’s exactly what happened when I stumbled across Finca Villa Huerta on Calle Fray Antonio Bermejo – honestly, I walked past it twice before realizing this unassuming building was actually my hotel for the next three nights in Icod de los Vinos.

The thing about Icod is that most people just zip through on their way to see the famous dragon tree (which, let’s be real, you should definitely do), but they’re missing out on this sleepy wine town that feels authentically Canarian without trying too hard. Finca Villa Huerta gets this perfectly – it’s not flashy or Instagram-obsessed, just genuinely comfortable in a way that makes you want to slow down and actually relax. The owners clearly know their stuff because every detail feels intentional, from the way they’ve preserved some of the original architecture to the local artwork scattered throughout the common areas. I mean, you can tell they’ve thought about what actual travelers need – proper lighting for reading, outlets where you need them, and thank god, really good shower pressure.

What really won me over was how effortlessly it connects you to the real Icod experience. You’re literally a five-minute walk from the town center, which means you can easily explore the historic quarter in the morning, grab lunch at one of those family-run restaurants that don’t have English menus (trust me, point and smile works), and still make it back for an afternoon nap before the evening stroll. The staff – and I hate using that word because it sounds so impersonal – but the people running this place actually live in the area and will tell you things like which bodega has the best local wine tastings or when the Saturday market is worth getting up early for. It’s that kind of insider knowledge you can’t get from a guidebook or a big chain hotel. Plus, parking is actually manageable here, which anyone who’s driven around the Canary Islands will appreciate. The whole place has this quiet, residential feel even though you’re right in town – probably because Calle Fray Antonio Bermejo doesn’t get much through traffic, so you can sleep with the windows open and just hear the occasional dog barking or neighbors chatting in the evening.

  Special thanks to and wish all the best to Javier, the kind and welcomed man, who showed us his art workshop and gave his painting. My son likes it ☺ He also showed us lava tunnels, provided all needed equipment for it.

• Karl from Iceland (10/10)

  Javier was an exceptionally helpful and kind host and answered all our questions promptly. The facilities are extremely well appointed, clean and quiet. What we enjoyed the most was probably the swimming pool and the sea view from the grounds and balconies.

• Laurenz from Germany (10/10)

  Javier is a most wonderful host, offers whatever he can to make you feel welcome – including wine, cake and a tour of his incredible artwork (which features all over the island).
  The apartment was perfectly clean and very thoughtful, the kitchen well equipped, the terrasse gave us some unbelievable sunsets, the garden is stunning, there's a pool and outdoor barbecue if you want.
  10/10 – muchas gracias, Javier!

• Ribariba from Ukraine (10/10)

  Our stay at Javier's villa exceeded all our expectations. First of all, thanks to the cordiality and hospitality of Javier and his wife Maria. All the space of the villa, starting from the entrance – rooms, terrace, barbecue area, swimming pool are created with love and taste. Everything is clean, beautiful and cozy. The room has everything you need and is thought out to the smallest detail. Javier is a very talented famous painter and sculptor and we were lucky enough to visit his studio and experience his work. Unfortunately, we don't know Spanish and Javier doesn't know English, but thanks to google-translator we managed) The villa itself is located quite high, walking will be far from the ocean, but if you have a car – it's not a problem. There was free parking on the street nearby. Icod de los Vinos itself is a small, green and colorful town. We were happy to have been there!
