Artenara est un village accueillant, idéalement placé pour randonner, la vue est extraordinaire. L'appartement est agréable et fonctionnel, les chambres dans la roche ont beaucoup de charme. Nos hôtes mettent à disposition de nombreuses informations sur les randonnées, les restaurants, ... Très pratique ! Merci à Daphné !

A nice quirky house in a good location to explore the mountains. The kitchen had everything we needed. The flat was cold when we arrived (in January so perhaps to be expected), though electric heaters were provided to remedy the situation. We really appreciated the supply of hiking books in various languages. Communication was great, easy to get the keys and find the house. Thanks!

Great communication leading up to the stay.. When we got to the island we were in contact with a representative, who gave us information on the best way to travel, and also the availability of transport to and from the apartment.. The apartment was amazing, perfect for me and girlfriend, A lot more spacious that it seems in the photos. Very cosy and clean, great value for money.. Thanks again Daphne will definitely look for one of your apartments for my next holiday

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, Myriam fut très serviable et attentionnée, rien ne manquait pour un séjour réussi !

La casa ha cumplido nuestras espectativas, desde la ubicación, a poco minutos de la playa, hasta la tranquilidad que se pasa estando en ella. Por la noche se puede observar las estrellas y por el día gozar el buen tiempo que se respira. En resumen una casa de 10. No olvidarnos del buen trato con el propietario y la hospitalidad que ha tenido con nosotros.

Wir hatten einen schönen Urlaub auf Gran Canaria.Die Unterkunft ist schön gelegen, die Leute, die auf der Finca arbeiten sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit, die Wohnung ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Strandtage und Wanderungen. Hatten einen schöne Woche auf der Finca.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr zu empfehlen, sauber und gut ausgestattet. Antonio und sein Schwiegervater sind sehr nette Gastgeber. Es wird gearbeitet auf der Kaffefarm von ca. 9- 17 Uhr außerdem kommen regelmäßig Tagesgäste für Führungen auf die Farm, was aber wirklich nicht störend ist. Wir waren 9 Tage dort und uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Vielen Dank

Perfect location in the beautiful valley of Agaete. Can especially recommend to anyone who loves nature and coffee. The host Antonio was very nice and we won't forget him.

Super, we also got a tour on the Farm which was great. Lovely place, nice people! We enjoyed everything. Thank you. We recommend this airbnb!

The listing was very accurate. Antonio`s father in law welcomed us and we were very impressed by his kindness and consideration. All the fixtures and fittings are in excellent order and we were made to feel very welcome. We had a private tour of the Coffee farm and enjoyed it. We were given their own produce which was delicious

We had a wonderful stay for six nights. The house is spacious and well-equipped, and the covered terrace with view of the valley is fantastic. Antonio and his father-in-law were very welcoming, and provided no end of fresh mangoes and citrus fruits from the farm. The coffee grown and roasted by Antonio is delicious (not cheap but high quality and painstakingly produced, and very much worth bringing home), and it was possible to join a tour of the coffee farm. The location in San Pedro is great. There are trekking paths nearby, and a very friendly, unassuming bar around the corner that has good food and also sells fruits, vegetables, eggs and cheese. The house is just a few minutes by car from Agaete/Puerto de las Nieves, where there is a beach, natural pools, a Spar supermarket and a fishermen's cooperative with restaurant and fishmonger.

Heel mooi appartement in een rustig deel van gran canaria. Ideale uitvalbasis om te wandelen. Antonio is erg aardig en nam alle tijd voor ons. We kregen een rondleidung over de boerderij , heel interesant. Bij aankomst stond er een schaal verse sinaasappelen op ons te wachten.

My and my boyfriend had a great one-night stay at Antonio's coffee farm! The house was really exactly as pictured. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The front patio is huge like in the pictures, the bed was comfortable and everything in the bathroom worked fine too (nice big shower). The view is also exactly the view you get from the patio (and from the bedroom we chose to sleep in). It is a really beautiful little valley. The house is about 10 minutes driving from Agaete/Puerto de las Nieves (with amazing seafood), depending on how experienced you are with slightly narrow roads. I am not very experienced but we managed to drive to the town quite quickly. We had a little bit of trouble finding the house once we got to the town, since the entrance to the house's driveway wasn't very obvious to us. But when I called Antonio he came to get us straight away. Also leading up to our stay his communication with us was clear and fast. Antonio is really like previous reviews mentioned: very welcoming, generous and energetic. He mentioned he had had a very busy day, but still gave us a very interesting tour of the farm, had us taste some of his coffee and gave us some of his fruit. All in all I would definitely recommend this AirBnB, for both short and long stays. We didn't have any complaints.

Beautiful rural retreat away from hustle and bustle and great setting, walking distance to the local resteraunt & bar. Not too far from a rocky beach and with access to some nice walks also! The house is fantastic and very comfortable with amazing views that leave you breathtaken ! Loved our stay and will definitely return soon, highly recommend for somewhere to get away from it all and relax !

Unsere Woche in der Casa Tamadaba war ein Traum. Das Haus und die Terasse waren noch schöner als auf den tollen Bildern dargestellt. Die ruhige Lage mit dem Rundumblick auf die Berge waren atemberaubend. Die gesamte Einrichtung des Hauses ist komplett auf die Gäste abgestimmt (Reise- und Wanderführer Gran Canaria, diverse Musik, eine saubere Küche mit vielen Geräten und Gewürzen, Geschirrspültabs und Mülltüten etc.). Das kleine Gemüsebeet vor der Terasse mit riesen Kürbissen, Zwiebeln und Paprika sowie frischer Minze war für uns ein weiteres Highlight der Unterkunft. Jürgen hat uns vorab viele gute Hinweise für Ausflüge geschickt. Kurz um, wurden unsere Erwartungen an die Casa Tamadaba übertroffen und wir würden bei einem weiteren Besuch auf Gran Canaria jederzeit wiederkommen. Perfekt für jeden der Ruhe und Privatsphäre sucht.

Das Haus ist perfekt für zwei Personen, sehr sauber und gepflegt. Es ist alles da was man braucht. WLAN funktioniert zuverlässig. Im Bergdorf sind keine anderen Touristen, sehr authentisch und ruhig, keine direkten Nachbarn. Absolut empfehlenswert für den Urlaub abseits des Massentourismus. Die Kommunikation war zu jedem Zeitpunkt problemlos und unkompliziert.

Wir hatten ein tolles Welcome von Sancho und haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt. Sancho's Casas sind wunderschön eingerichtet: Tolle, teilweise alte Möbel, viel Kunst an den Wänden und alles was das praktische Küchenherz begehrt. Die Lage im Valle ist wunderschön. Wir würden jederzeit wieder buchen und dort einige romantische Tage verbringen.

Grâce à la décoration de la maison, nous avons été plongés dans une ambiance colorée, tout droit sortie d'un tableau de Frida Kahlo. Le jardin est tout aussi envoutant que la vue. L’hôte est également très sympathique.

Lovely house (the suite) with a beautifull garden. Clean and tastefully decorated. Reccomended.

Sancho is an amazing man with an amazing aesthetic sense - to rent one of his houses was the best with the whole holiday. We just wanted to be in the house and the lovely garden, with an increadible great view. It was easy to travel around, just half an hour to Las Palmas. The garden was planted with the most beautiful cacti and agaves, and the house was decorated with beautiful art and artifacts. Everything was clean and we felt at home at once. Sancho met us with key and directions and gave us invaluable tips to resturants, places to go hiking, etc. We will recommend our friends to rent here and we will certainly come back one day! Rim, Ståle and Ask (7 years old).

Lieu calme au beau milieu d'une belle vallée verte (N'oubliez pas suivez simplement le ballon rond à partir dAgaete pour arriver à bon port). Julian a été un hôte sympathique et chaleureux et l'appartement est spacieux et égayé par les chants d'oiseaux, dommage que le temps ne nous ait pas permis de profiter pleinement du patio durant notre passage!

Julian's apartment is beautifully situated in a beatiful green valley. From the balcony on top of the house we had breakfast while looking at the mountains. From close to the house, two great and beautiful hikes starts which can take you to mountaintops in a couple of hours. Very close to the house is a local coffee and wine producer, which you can visit. I would definately recommend Julian's place to anybody visiting Gran Canaria. The place is great and Julian is very helpful and accommodating. The place can be a bit difficult to find, however just park on the footbal field (close to the house) and walk the remaining distance.

Very nice place!!! Quiet and beautifull view!

Logement bien situe, hors des sentiers battus, pour visiter le nord de l'île, las Palmas, Agaete et son port...

La maison est très agréable, pas super facile d'accès la première fois (oui oui il faut prendre le chemin de terre tout pourri et traverser le terrain foot ... on est arrivés dans la nuit c'était pas évident !) mais très bien placée (à quelques minutes d'Agaete et Puerto de las nieves) et vraiment au calme. Très propre et bien équipé. Julian et sa famille ont été très accueillants. L'extérieur aussi est agréable: prendre son petit déjeuner sous une pergola de fruits de la passion, ça vous met tout de suite en mode vacances!

This house is located in a beautiful valley, which provides fertile ground for lots of fruits and coffee beans. The house has a nice covered terrace and a small grass field, and close by there is also a soccer field that provides ample opportunity for kids to play and is free to access. The host, Julian, was very helpful and available when needed. The sea and beach is a 15 minutes drive away, Las Palmas is about 40 minutes.

Le logement est situê au rez de chaussée de la maison de Julian et de sa famille. Il est grand, bien équipé et propre. le wifi fonctionne très bien. Nous avons eu quelques difficultés à trouver mais Julian est venu nous chercher. Il est très disponible pour des conseils et son accueil est sympa. lui et sa famille ont été très discrets. Location à recommender avec un bémol : contrairement a l annonce il n y a pas de parking mais la possibilité de se garer dans une ruelle étroite et commune aux voisins. Difficile de maneuvrer. on trouve cependant toujours de la place un peu plus bas sur le terrain de foot.

Entorno increíble y personas amables pero que saben cuando hablarte y cuando no.

Die Lage des Hauses und der Blick von der Gemeinschaftsterrasse und dem Pool (mit Dusche und Toilette) sind einfach traumhaft, man kann am Ende des Tals das Meer sehen und rundherum die Berghänge. Wir hatten das Glück, Pool und Terrasse während unseres Aufenthaltes für uns alleine zu haben. Das einzige was ein bisschen spannend ist, ist die Fahrt zum Haus. Wir haben uns an der Bar mit Carlotta getroffen und sie ist dann vorraus gefahren. Wem die Fahrt bis direkt vors Haus zu spanndend ist, hat aber die Möglichkeit das Auto etwas unterhalb zu parken. Angenehm ist, dass soetwas wie Toilettpapier, Seife und Spülmittel vorhanden sind, auch Salz und Zucker waren bei uns im Schrank. Es gibt eine Spülmaschine im Haus und eine auf der Geminschaftsterrasse, was sehr praktisch ist, Reinigungstabs waren auch vorhanden. Carlotta hat uns ziwchendurch netterweise frische Handtücher gebracht. Die kleine Wanderung direkt vom Haus zum "El Charco Azul" ist sehr empfehlenswert. In el Risco selbst, kann man nichts unternehmen (das Essen an der Bar ist nicht empfehlenswert...) zum Einkaufen muss man nach Agaete fahren, was bedingt durch die spektakuläre Strasse mit wunderschönen Ausblicken, doch knapp 15-20 min dauert, das sollte man einkalkulieren. Der Kühlschrank bietet aber genügend Platz für grössere Einkäufe. Auch ein Tiefkühlschrank und ein Kühlakku sind vorhanden. Wir würden dort wieder hinfahren, da der Blick einfach unglaublich ist und der Alttagsstress dort einfach von einem abfällt.

Both the house and the swimming pool area is wonderful and the view from the house is absolutely amazing. As previous comments say the road to El Risco is a narrow mountain road but after a few days you can get used to it that you have the mountain on one side and the ocean 100 meters below you on the other side :) It’s also scenic enough to forget about the inconvenience. However bear in mind that if the weather conditions are not optimal (windy/rainy), it’s possible that they close down the road and then you won’t be able to get out of El Risco at all. Apparently it doesn’t happen too often (1-2 times a year), however it did happen when we were there and we almost missed our flight. All in all, it’s a perfect place to stay if you like remote, beautiful locations and don’t want to spend your holidays in overcrowded touristic areas. We had a blast.

We absolutely loved the house and swimmingpool. and had a great time!! The surroundings are beautiful, and it was lovely to have both an inside and outside kitchen! Only downside to this house is that from Agaete, the last 30 minutes of the drive to El Risco (where the house is) is along a steep and windy mountain road, and the last 100 meters are so steep, narrow and curvy that we got out of the car rather shaky... You have to be a confident driver to reach this house.

The house is lovely and there has been a lot attention of detail with quality of finishing. The view is pretty amazing. You can definitely see a big extended family coming together for an occasion or just to spend time together. The house has lots of layers to it and plenty of place for people to find private space. However bare in mind that you have to drive 13 km on a road winding off the side of a mountain. While we were there, there was a landslide further up which closed the road to the beach and we have gathered this is not unusual. We ended up not staying for the full week as the pool is 2m deep and not viable for a 4 year old learning to swim. And the drive to the house is pretty intense and need some work to make it a bit safer.

Great place to stay with nice views!

Vi blev modtaget meget godt. Beskrivelsen var som vi så den.

Amazing location, I believe the most beautiful scenery in the whole island. The terrace is extremely nice, there's also a grill. We used it almost every night! There is also a hiking route in the same valley, really worth doing it!

We fell in love with el Risco and Casa la Pintora. Everything was perfectly prepared for us, even more than we expected and we felt very welcomed. The surroundings of the house and the view we had eating breakfast each day was breathtaking. We very much recommend the place to everyone who really wants to relax and spend holidays far away from the noisy hotels and shops. People we met in el Risco were very friendly and the atmosphere of this tiny town was a perfect match for a great, relaxing holiday.

The woman who met us with the keys didn't speak a word English, would have been good to know in advance. Lots of ants in the kitchen. A cat meowing outside the door every night trying to get inside. No light in the garden so unfortunately not possible to sit there after dusk.

We had a great vacation in Sancho's beautiful Casa Rural in Valle de Agaete. The house is well located in Gran Canaria's nice northwest surrounded by nature and lonely mountains - perfect for nature lovers and far away from the big tourism. You have lots of hiking trails near by, beaches, little authentic towns and its only a 30 minutes drive to Las Palmas. Unfortunately we didn't had the chance to meet Sancho, but he organised our arrival just perfectly. Thanks!

Sancho made us feel very welcome! We met to receive the key, but it felt more like having a dinner with a good friend. We loved staying at the house in Agaete Valley. It is away from the business, and the view is stunning, in every direction. Everything is very clean in the house and kitchen. The colors and the interior of the house are beautiful, warm and tasteful. Also the garden is lovely and spacious! You hear birds singing from morning till the evening. In the area you can go for really wonderful walks, Gran Canaria is an island with so much to offer in nature: hiking in the mountains and forests or going to the beach in the west at the natural pools or small hide away beaches, or in the almost always sunny south side (more touristic )and seeing maspalomas dunes.

Thank you Sancho! That was great... a miracle valley! The house was clean and artistic, was a pleasure also to speak with you...hope to remain in contact! ciao!

Très bon séjour chez Sancho. Maison très agréable, nous avions la plus petite qui comprend une chambre et salle de bains, cuisine dehors dans un cadre mexicain très sympa. Magnifiquement décoré. Bien plus original et agréable que le sud de l'île trop bétonné à notre goût. Je recommande fortement! Nous avons eu le plaisir de rencontrer Sancho qui fut un hôte très chaleureux. Aucun problème pour nous mais il faut impérativement une voiture (3km du centre ville) et rechercher la tranquillité.

Sancho was the most lovely host and incredibly helpful. He responded promptly to all enquiries and was both kind and hospitable. The House itself is in the most beautiful location in all of Gran Canaria. Having driven round the entire island, this is the best place to come if you want unspoilt, tranquil scenery and beautiful views. Will undoubtedly try to return next winter. Highly recommend to anyone wanting some peace, quiet and sun. In addition to the house itself being decorated to perfection there are also lovely hikes to enjoy within minutes of the house. Everything was perfect!

Great experience in Sancho's beautiful cottage. Excellent location in green rural area, great for exploring the region. Sancho is very helpful and flexible. He puts all the love in his houses and really enjoys hosting people in his place! Thank you so much!

Sancho is a nice and pleasant gentleman, which gave perfect recommendations for restaurants. Nice and clean house and perfect if you want to have a place to stay when you explore the surroundings by foot or by car. I recommend it.

Me and my partner couldn't wish for a more perfect accommodation! Sancho's Casa is placed in the most spectacular and paradise like location - in a valley, so you are surrounded by the mountains and the natural beauty of Gran Canaria. The garden is full of my beloved cacti and quirky art pieces. The house is cosy, comfortable and has everything you'll need. It is perfect if you want to escape the touristic bs and just be with the nature. There are great mountain walks around and the ocean is not far. We booked the place on the day of our arrival, but Sancho was very quick to reply, extremely helpful and friendly, so everything felt well organised. We even were the first ppl to have wifi:) I highly recommend this amazing hidden gem!

Eine ruhige, nett eingerichtete Finca in einem Bergdorf. Wer keinen Wert auf Touristentrubel legt, ist hier richtig!

This is a unique and special place to stay. The bedrooms and living spaces are arranged off a little patio overgrown with flowers. The house is rustic and suits the remote setting of El Risco. The kitchen has basic facilities but is a charming place to spend time. Little windows open onto views of the towering mountains. The view from the gates of the house towards the volcano Taide on Tenerife is also astonishing and always changing. The walk to the Charco Azul is worthwhile and the beach has intriguing volcanic sand that churns and turns the water black as the waves break. A local man dropped fresh papaya at our gate and recounted stories to us most days. We stayed with small children and although it is not completely child friendly being a remote country house on a steep hillside, they loved it. Ira and Moriya were responsive to our emails and organised for an extra gas cylinder to be delivered on our final evening. We would very much like to return.

We stayed in this beautiful but primitive house with our 3 year old child and we all loved it. The people in the village, the views from the house, the amazing atmosphere and the natuur around it enchanted us. We will certainly be back.

The house was exactly the same as in the photos, or better if it fits! Marinieves who was in charge of the delivery of keys, was lovely to us. We were able to buy everything even though we arrived at night and there was nothing open in the village. The location is fantastic, in the natural park and very close to points of interest. Overall it was a fabulous experience and highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy the north of Gran Canaria.

First thing to say is that this is about as far away from civilisation as you are likely to get in Gran Canaria - El Risco is a very small town in a beautiful valley, with a bar and a small shop and that's about it! The road from Agaete is not for the faint hearted, but apparently less scary than the one from Mogan which is now permanently closed following a massive rockfall - a replacement tunnel is due to open soon though which might make El Risco a little more easily accessible. The scenery is breathtaking, and a world away from the arid landscape of the south. The short walk up to Charcol Azul waterfall was one of the highlights of our trip. The house itself is also lovely, though unusual in that each of the rooms is separated by the garden so you have to go outside and in again to get from the bedroom to the kitchen or bathroom, and the facilities are rustic rather than luxurious. The garden area is great for relaxing and eating with a view of the surrounding valley and is sunny for most of the day. We didn't meet the owners in person but a local lady sorted us out with the keys and made sure we had an emergency contact in El Risco, Ira (Moriya's husband) was also very helpful with a few enquiries via email.

Our family of four stayed in this rustic home. Each kid got their own bedroom which led to significantly less bickering. We had some trouble figuring out how to conserve the hot water for showers but once we figured it out it was great. The town is fabulous and everyone made us feel welcome. The beds were comfortable. The road between La Aldea and el Risco was closed which made for really long drives to get to the south of the island for the activities we had planned there. Ira was definitely correct when saying that you MUST have a car if this is your location. However, if you are looking to get away from it all and have a semi camping experience, this place is absolutely amazing.

This was a perfect holiday! We were a couple and a single. The communication was perfect right from the beginning. The hosts ate very friendly and helpful (e.g. Our fridge didn't work when we arrived and they immediately organized a new one). The house and the sorroundind is unbelievable beautiful. The rooms are big and furnitured with a lot of love for details. Because of the beautiful style with the inner courtyard and the big stone walls you have your privacy in the rooms. In the kitchen there is everything you need to cook and lots of the stuff is new. The bathroom is small, but very clean. There are lots of travel guides and books about Gran Canaria in the house. The village El Risco is super cute and very small. Don't miss the nice people in the only shop/kiosk/bar there and buy some cheese :-). We didn't try the restaurant. Agaete is the next bigger city (20min by car). We went to the beach there because the beach in El Risco was too stoney for us. Also go to the "salinas" there (natural see pools). In my opinion you definitely need a car! If you have one you can see lots of places because the island isn't big. The sand beach and city of las palmas is also beautiful. What we didn't like at all was Maspalomas (full of tourists, ugly hotels and typical tourist shops and restaurants, beach very full but sandy). We really had a perfect stay in this house and would recommend it without any doubt! Even I would book a second time being in Gran Canaria once more.

The house was amazing, the surroundings very peaceful and picturesque. Frogs and birds were the only sounds we were hearing. A very nice short treck to the nearby waterfall starts directly infront of the door. The pictures dont give it justice, we find the rural house much much nicer than on the pictures posted. Everything is very basic but the rural authenticy was exactly what we were looking for. We definitely recommend the place

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Die Wohnung ist hübsch, liegt wunderschön und bietet herrliche Ausblicke. Lediglich die Ausstattung könnte etwas großzügiger (Küchenutensilien) bzw. neuer (Bettwäsche/Handtücher) Das Tal von Agaete ist wahnsinnig hübsch. Aber auch sehr ruhig. Ohne Auto geht gar nichts.

We came to Gran Canaria for a quiet break and a walking holiday, because of this the place was perfect. It's very remote (25 mins drive to nearest town, along a winding mountain road so not for the faint hearted). We did not want to be in the hustle and bustle of it all we wanted to be in the non touristy part which was definitely accomplished . The apartment is in the most beautiful and surreal setting you are literally in the middle of the national park, there are great walks/treks on your doorstep and secluded beaches. The only downside to our stay was part of the was closed off so we couldn't explore the other side of national park as you would have to drive right around the island to get to it, but I think the road will be open soon enough. Carlotta who maintains the apartment and gardens is lovely and very helpful, she gave us some tips of where to go and also fresh fruit from the garden. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a secluded break in the middle of nature, you have to be a confident driver as mountain road is pretty crazy and the small town of El Risco is very narrow and this place is right at the top of the hill so parking can also be quiet tricky, but we coped and thought it was worth it. The photos are accurate in fact they do not give the view the justice it deserves it really is beyond beautiful.

Wir haben uns sehr wohl in dem Gartenparadies von Sancho gefühlt. Wunderschöne Aussicht von der Terrasse, viele Entdeckungen, die man im Garten und in den sehr geschmackvoll gestalteten Häusern machen kann. Und Sancho ist wirklich ein sehr freundlicher, aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Très belle maison, située au calme d'une petit vallée non loin d'Agaete. Un très chouette pied-à-terre pour explorer le nord ouest de l'ïle, Sancho est de très bon conseil en ce qui concerne les adresses pour manger ou se balader.
