Villa in Tenerife, private pool and quiet location:
The villa is for the more discerning guests who wish to get away from the tourist area but still be in close proximity of all facilities. La Florida (so named for the lush palm trees) is an oasis situated between the Tenerife villages of La Camella and Valle San Lorenzo but still only a 10 minute drive to the sandy beaches of Los Cristianos or Playa las Americas. With lush gardens and a good sized (larger than usual)10.2 x 4.5 metre private swimming pool and patio area with sun beds and patio furniture. The garden boasts some fruit trees and there are usually lemons on the tree most of the year so you may be able to pick a fresh lemon for your drink. There is also a small herb garden for those who wish to cook. There is a book shelf full of books for you to read. I just ask if you need to take one home you replace with another. The dining table extends to sit 6 with ease. The property is much larger than the usual 'holiday let' villas in Tenerife - it is a home from home.
Your own home from home:
This villa was also our home so is larger than the usual holiday villa in Tenerife. The spacious well furnished lounge/dining room has satellite television and channels, which include BB1, ITV, BBC2 and Channel 4. There is also a DVD player. The large patio doors open straight onto the patio so you have views of your private pool and the sea. The dining table extends to seat six. There is a portable Industrial Fan for use around the villa for those warmer days. The villa has tiled floors throughout - except for the double bedroom, which has a wooden parquet floor. The property is surrounded by high Spanish walls making your stay completely secluded. This is my own villa and is only available to couples and families. The view from the patio area is of the sea and the mountains. The large tiled private swimming pool is suitable for swimming - and is a larger than other villa pools. A car is recommended - there is a hourly bus service from the end of the road to Los Cristianos
