The location is not quite easy to access by foot or public transportation. The streets are very steep. Even if you drive a car, it can be a little bit challenging to drive through the steep streets and narrow roads. Our cell phones were not working in a radius of 3 km from the location , due to the lack of signal.

The owners are super friendly and the communication was very smooth and the replies were very quick. The house is located near to a very small village, in the countryside. Very quiet and very high, around 1000m of altitude. Quite often the house is surrounded by clouds. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. The village nearby has the basics. Restaurants, cafes, mini supermarkets, pharmacies and gas station.

Really not much to dislike at all. It is a steep drive up narrow roads so be aware of that, but it's what gives it its charm also. Clothes washing/drying facilities would have been extra great. A few more kitchen implements and maybe some sun loungers. But really, these are mere quibbles.

Victor and Iara are warm and welcoming hosts who went out of their way to make us comfortable. We stayed in the larger house on the compound and it was wonderful. Stylish (country farmhouse style), colourful, spacious and beautifully set out. The TV was great (satellite and Netflix etc) and the lounge area was super comfortable. The bedroom was lovely with a wonderful big window looking onto the lush gardens and trees. The bed in the master bedroom was amazingly comfortable and extra long (I'm 1.92m). Shower was powerful and hot. When we arrived the property was shrouded in cloud and drizzle (it's high up), but this didn't spoil our time there. Towards the end of our stay the sun came out and it was wonderful. There are forest walks just up from the property. Security is excellent with a large electronic gate.

Amazing hosts!

The doors are pretty low. My husband is 185 cm tall and knocked his head against them several times. WiFi is great at the house but there is no phone reception.

The geographical location is very lucky -- the place doesn't get too hot during the day and cools nicely at night, with just a little wind. It's pleasant to sit on the terrace under a little shadow. Forest trails are just a few steps away. Unfortunately, some area of the forest suffered in a recent fire but it's still a nice place to walk. The hosts are wonderful helpful people.

The most amazing stay here, thanks to Iara and Victor. The house and grounds were stunning. It was a fantastic place to chill out and relax. It was also easy to sight see in Laguna, Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz. Iara and Victor were so very welcoming and the house had everything we needed. Really enjoyed sitting out in the balcony in the evenings. The house is a short drive to the supermarkets and other amenities.

Peace and Quiet, amazing hospitality but not overbearing...Opportunity to shut the modern world off and get into nature but still having access to modern creature comforts...) Authentic Non-Overbearing Owners...Surrounded by Nature

The real question is , what isn't to like...💫 Both Victor and the equally lovely Iara are really authentic people with such big hearts...! Unlike so many touristic establishments who just want your money 💰, Finca La Gustoza feels like a home from home.. The hosts bend over backwards to make your stay as magical as possible...! The location is like a mini paradise away from the touristic trail and at the base of the forest,it feels like you are in another world..! If you want to escape the south of island which is a tourist trap infested by overweight sunburnt Fish and Chips type of People who want England with Sun,then I would not hesitate to recommend La Gustoza to anyone...I have stayed here several times and each time I visit it just gets better...The attention to detail is above what one would expect and the hosts are so helpful 😀 Even though there is little to no phone signal the WiFi is strong. Its in my top 3 places to stay in Tenerife and I've stayed in over 50 places... A true Gem 💎 Feels like home xO I cannot wait to return 🤞✌️❤️💯 Oliver

Iara and Victor really are the most wonderful hosts, we’ve rarely received such a kind and heartwarming welcome. They make sure you feel at home. The accommodation was super cute and equipped with absolutely everything needed. The garden is lush and wild, providing a beautiful view. This place is perfect for people that are looking for a calm and peaceful surrounding in a remote location, yet is easily accessible by car (10 min from highway). We definitely want to return here!

La Gustoza is a quiet, peaceful, magical place, situated in the mountains. A cozy cottage in a large garden surrounded by forest. Morning breakfast on the terrace in the company of a bird concert. Iara and Victor are cheerful, sympathetic, and helpful hosts.

Viktor and Iara are incredibly sweet and eager to help. The cabin was large and cozy, with a nice kitchen and good WiFi. I slept very well in the huge, comfortable bed.

This place is absolutely magical, from the madding crowds. Beautifully peaceful set in a lovely large lush garden and surrounded outwith by old forests. Waking up at dawn to a chorus of birdsong was the best. Wonderful hosts, Victor and Iara: gracious, kind, funny, engaging, helpful. Had some great conversations in a variety of languages! The attention to detail and the love with which La Gustoza has been created is exceptional.

Remote location, nice and quiet, hiking trails right outside the door, friendly hosts and quality accommodation. Perfect for our family with small kids, very safe since all fenced. Full of fruit trees in the garden

Could do with some more kitchen items - cutting board, dish rack.

Amazing setting, lovely kind hosts. Very rural and remote. Very charming

Stayed in May 2023

Like most fincas there is no dishwasher, which made me do the dishes after brunch again after a loooong time, much to the amusement of my wife :D

It was a very comfortable little house on a beautiful property, very kind and caring hosts, great views, privacy as we dreamed off, however with the option to reach our hosts if we needed anything :) with our rental car we reached any place we wanted to go with ease, however except for hiking you need a car there. We are regulars on Teneriffe and hope to see this place available again, when we return.

Casa Rural La Gustoza is one of the places that I will remember whole my life. It's located in a very calm and beautiful part of Tenerife. Definitely the best place if you want to relax and get rest. The owners, Iara and Victor, are wonderful people, very kind and helpful.

The place is just amazing. In the middle of nowhere (that's exactly what we were looking for), surrounded by a beautiful garden. Great and thoughtful hosts. Very calm. Nice hikes nearby. Definitely recommend!

It was perfect.

Victor and Iara have a beautiful property which has an aura of serenity and tranquility - this is exactly what I was looking for. They were superb, warm hosts who welcomed me like family. I was in Tenerife hiking, this spot was great for accessing El Teide National Park and Anaga Rural Park.
