Cottages in Risco Blanco

Karla United Kingdom

This is a truly fabulous place to stay; a beautifully renovated little finca, comfortable and cosy, stylish and well appointed, full of original Canary Island character. We stayed for one week and absolutely loved it. The house is completely private and not overlooked. It is hidden away in a sunny spot in the mountains with stunning views of the dramatic countryside all round. It’s a dreamlike beautiful place, a little paradise. The finca is tastefully furnished and well appointed with an amazing attention to detail and with lots of thoughtful personal touches. The house is completely renovated to a modern standard. It has everything you need. The kitchen is big and a joy to cook in. The location of the house is a 20 minute drive from the nearest village where one can find shops and restaurants. But it’s best to do the grocery shopping in one of the big supermarkets near the airport before you arrive at the finca. The local shops are small but have all the basics. We cooked every evening as we felt it was a bit far to drive to a restaurant. In the daytime we explored the surrounding countryside. There are many opportunities for stunning hikes in the mountains. The house is in a perfect location for discovering all the islands interior has to offer. Some people might find it a bit hard to get to the finca and should be aware of the access issues. You have to drive 15 minutes down a winding single track road. For parking you have to use one of the small lay-byes. After that you walk a few minutes down a rather steep, rough track to reach the house. Anyone with mobility issues might find this difficult and struggle to carry suitcases and groceries down. It didn’t bother us at all, it is the price you pay to get to stay in such a beautiful, off-the-beaten-track place in total privacy. Absolutely worth the effort and magical when you get there. I highly recommend it. This is a very special place.

Firstly, Heidi was one of the owners (her husband Juan was there too, but I only talked with Heidi) and she was literally phenomenal! I couldn't express it enough. Anything you could need, she was there for. Able to provide advice of local shops, events, etc. 11/10 for customer service to you as a tenant. In terms of the villa, location was great. The weather was perfect, despite being far up in the mountains. The villa itself was small but cosy. Perfect for absolutely everything that could be needed on a holiday. Good shower in the house. The bed was REMARKABLY comfortable for me. I entirely slept brilliantly on it (Kudos to Heidi and Juan for that). Good size of fridge freezer. Good cooker. They even have a TV and DVD player (we didn't use it, but nice that they had it). Even a router there with good WiFi strength. Sofa was comfy enough. Now for my favourite thing - the hot tub!!! 🥰🥰🥰 it was absolutely blissful! Astoundingly cool to sit at night and watch the stars at night in the beautiful bubbling hot tub. Even cooler, these guys didn't charge extra for the use of the hot tub. It was all inclusive. That being said, we didn't need to use it every day. We used it 3 outta 6 days (depends on how busy your holiday is). The other thing to top all of this off, hot tub and villa, was the astounding view. It was so picturesque and tranquil, so quiet (97% of the time. There were 2 dogs very infrequently barking but not loud enough to disturb at night for sleeping) and truly relaxing. Blend all of this together and the amazing 22°C - 26°C, blue skies and beautiful view, this villa was a true slice of heaven on earth. I entirely recommend this. A final note - If you want the one with the hot tub when booking, make sure to reserve the one with the hot tub in the title. It costs a little more but 100% worth it. Price was very reasonable and well worth it!!! If we return to Gran Canaria, it will most likely be here!

Sparkling clean with the HOT TUB!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Paula is a very responsive host and responds to any questions you have about your stay at the property. Amazing location with views, peace, tranquility and privacy. Everything is provided in the property, upon arrival we were welcomed with Red Wine, biscuits, chocolates and Pantone. In the fridge we had bottle of coke and 1L bottle of water and additional 5L of water. We also received a fruit basket which was a really nice gesture. There is a Dolce Gusto coffee machine and coffee pods are provided too, which is the best thing in the morning. Plenty of toilet papers/towels and toiletries are provided to ensure guests have the best relaxing experience. Beach towels are provided for 4 people and even out side shower. Hot tub is pure luxury for this accommodation and takes 2-4 hours to warm up. Please note other places in La Montana do not offer hot tub or heated pool. This is the only property with the Hot Tub in the cold/winter months. Outside BBQ is stocked with charcoal even for January and we really enjoyed the BBQ.

Excellent rural home. The space inside turned out to be much larger than expected from the outside. Large bedroom. Equipped kitchen. Two terraces, a barbecue, a swimming pool, an orange garden, figs and olive trees look onto the balcony, two bathrooms, a washing machine, a fireplace .... it's easier to say what was not there than to list the advantages. Excellent WiFi. Аbsolute authentic road to the house, prepare comfortable shoes. Sandals don't fit. For the summer season, it is important that there is little sun.

Beautiful location, very nice and private garden, including a jacuzzi with a view. Bed, shower and kitchenstuff etc were good. We loved the silence of the place, basically just hearing birds.
