New 2010 - 1 bdrm penthouse, ocean front, south and north facing terrace, luxury

Beautiful penthouse overlooking the sea. Very clean with everything you could possibly need. Pablo was brilliant with a very comprehensive check-in.

We stayed in this apartment several years ago and found it just as good this time. The apartment is light and spacious with two terraces and is extremely clean and well equipped. It is very quiet, apart from the noise of the waves breaking just below the terrace and is very well placed for exploring the Teno Alto area and it’s amazing scenery and walks.

We were met by Laura and her son who gave us a very thorough run through everything that was available in the apartment which extends from mountain bikes to juice maker. In fact one of the challenges of our weeks stay was to try and think of something that wasn't supplied! The apartment was very, very clean with pleasing modern decor and was, exactly, as it was shown in the photo's and described on the internet. La Caleta is a quiet Tenerifian village not, necessarily on the tourist trail. The beach, which the front balcony overlooks, is, mostly, grey pebbles but quiet and secluded (at least it was in February). Good supermarket and restaurants within walking distance so no need to drink and drive! Would recommend 'Mundial '82' restaurant that overlooks the sea. Good food and wine at, very, sensible prices. i.e. 2 course meal for 2 with good wine and beer 40 Euros. A car is an absolute must, unless you like buses, the underground garage at the apartment was very convenient. If you're driving around Tenerife from La Caleta be prepared for some serious hills and hairpin bends. The road to Masca, which is a fabulous village, will definately exercise your arms on the steering wheel! We would definately recommend this apartment and award 5 stars.

Staying a week in early November was truly like charging the batteries before the long Scandinavian winter! Our hosts made us feel very welcome and the apartment had virtually everything, including mountain bikes! Garachico is off the main tourist-invaded areas (a bit dull if you look for entertainment), but close to spectacular sceneries and in all aspects breath-taking walks in the mountains.

We booked the apartment direct with the owners, Laura and Paul, and the process was incredibly easy. Before we arrived in Tenerife Laura had sent us information about the area and how to find the apartment via e-mail. Once we arrived in Tenerife and picked up our hire car, we followed the directions provided and phoned Laura when we were about 2 miles from the apartment and her and Paul met us there. Both Laura and Paul were superb. They showed us everything in the apartment, told us where the local amenities were, and left us with their phone numbers and directions to their house in case we needed anything. The apartment was excellent, very clean, well maintained, and everything you could possibly need. There is parking that comes with the apartment, and a lockup where there are things like bicycles, walking poles etc for use during your stay, they really have thought of everything you could possibly need to make the most of your stay. The location of the apartment is also excellent, nice and quiet, a balcony on the front overlooking the sea, another at the back, really peaceful and we enjoyed having breakfast everyday sat on the front balcony watching the sea and the locals going about everyday life. The village has some really good restaurants, we enjoyed in particular El Patio which we ate at most nights during our stay. We stayed late October early November, and it was still very warm. The apartment doesn't have air conditioning, and this would be the only down side if you were stopping in the hotter summer months. If we were returning to Tenerife, we would definitely stay here again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other travellers.
