The Casa Rural Vera de la Hoya is surrounded by natural areas in San Miguel de Abona, Tenerife. This 18th-century stone structure features spacious, en-suite rooms and an outdoor pool.
“This property deserves a higher overall rating - it was in a beautiful location, obviously loved by its owner, with all sorts of unexpected extras, such as washing lines and pegs, a very well-equipped kitchen, food left for guests' use if not eaten at breakfast, and even strawberries for breakfast on our first and last days, as I knew my brother, who stayed here in January, had had strawberries and so I mentioned this to Carlos. There's even a fixed telescope on the balcony, through which I looked at the moon's surface one morning. The deal we took (pay for a very good breakfast, with more than you can eat, including scrummy brown bread, and then you can use the kitchen whenever you want) was very much worthwhile. That way, we met up with the small number of other guests (there are only 7 rooms) and shared experiences over meals, which was impossible to do in other places we stayed in the Canaries. Yes, you can talk over breakfast in this casa rural, too, but sharing cooking facilities and the diningroom outside of breakfast time made for very relaxing as well as mentally stimulating encounters with the sort of guests who, like us, wanted something simple, cosy, peaceful, close to nature, clean and welcoming. Unfortunately, the weather was too cool for us to use the swimming pool. Instead we did the c. 7 hour round walk to Aldea Blanca and San Miguel de Abona, which can be picked up right outside the gate of C. R. Vera de la Hoya. Carlos was genuinely concerned when I joked that if we weren't back by 10 p.m. he should come looking for us and insisted we should ring him if we encountered any problems. We also walked from the front gate up to La Centinela viewpoint one morning. Worth the view and the sense of achievement but beware the prices of even a coffee if you go to the restaurant on top.”
