Home description

Whether you're looking for a romantic get away or a family holiday, Casa Carmela has it all! With a spacious roof terrace and paddling pool it's ideal for enjoying the Tenerife sunshine with your children.

The Tenerife region
Tenerife is one of the Canary Islands. It offers all year round sunshine with good temperatures. There is an average temperature of 25º in the summer and 20º in the winter so is ideal at any time of the year. Tourism is synonymous with bright sunshine and swimming in the sea. With over 350 kilometres of coastline,a wide variety of beaches with golden or volcanic sand, family-friendly beaches, hidden beaches, nudist beaches ……that’s without including the unique natural seawater pools of Tenerife. The stunning scenary lets you be in contact with nature. There are many mountain paths ready for exploration.
La Guancha area
For those who seek peace and quiet without isolation and a moderate sunny climate in an area where serious crime is virtually unknown, La Guancha in the North of Tenerife is the place to go!
La Ruta del Agua and Barranco Ruiz are two footpaths through the mountains, ideal for ramblers. Forest tracks around the village offer some different views of Mount Teide and a recently created recreation area at El Lagar includes barbecue facilities and a children's playground.
However, if rambling isn't your thing and you prefer the sea then Charco del Viento is the local beach. As Tenerife is a volcanic island, the beaches in the north are rocky; however these small rock pools are ideal for swimming and fishing.
It's full of tradition with local shops and typical restaurants offering traditional canarian food and wine only a few minutes walk away. A fine example is "Casa Jorge". It combines the food with a rustic ambience and at a very civilised price.
The village is known for the quality of its white wine, which is produced under the Ycoden-Daute-Isora 'Denominacíon de Origen' and is noted for its golden colour and unusual taste. A good place to have a taste of this wine is the Bodega de Viñatico, a local vinyard only 50m away!
If you're looking for local customs and fiestas then "Virgen de la Esperanza" on 15th August and "Virgin de Coromoto" at the end of May are worth experiencing. The world famous Tenerife Carnival is the second biggest in the world after Rio de Janeiro, a fantastic colourful sight with elaborate costumes & music and takes place at the beginning of Lent (usually February).
"Loro Parque" is the biggest tourist attraction in the north of the island and close to Puerto de la Cruz. Here you will find the world's largest parrot collection and many other animals including a spectacular dolphin show. www.loroparque.com
For the golfers, the Buenavista Golf course (designed by Seve Ballesteros) is a drive away along the north coastline and situated next to Buenavista beach.
