I was looking for a special place to switch off, away from mass tourism, in a natural and rural setting, from which I could reach the Teide National Park and the walking forests of Tenerife in a short time, and where I could feel at home, and I found it at La Casita. Thank you, Diana, for offering a place like this. I'll surely come back to visit you! I spent a few days in the south of the island because I needed a good place to rest with my partner, and in the end I managed it. From the very first contact, Diana kept up a warm conversation, giving me all kinds of tips and information about the accommodation and about what to do in the surrounding area. Arafo is a quiet village on the southern slope of the island, with a good motorway connection, friendly people, a pleasant temperature guaranteed and access to the beaches of Candelaria and Güímar that takes just minutes. The house is, in fact, exactly as described in the listing, and even better than it looks in the photos. From the very first minute you feel at ease: you're in the midst of nature, in silence, listening only to the birdsong. It's a house that has everything you could need, spacious for strolling through the gardens and the vegetable patch, where you'll find some fruit trees; in season you can pick and eat the fruit straight from the tree. The pool and the terrace are on one side of the house, ideal for feeling like you're in another world simply by gazing at the blue sky. But the best part is the area next to the house, where there is a large dining space with a full kitchen and barbecue, perfect for getting together and spending the evening chatting peacefully. The house has an entire façade covered by a comfortable sofa that invites you to an unimaginable nap. And both the bedrooms and the main living room are spacious and nicely decorated, which allows you to rest peacefully. And a general recommendation: don't miss (you can even go on foot) the restaurant at the start of the road that goes up to the house; it's incredible, cheap, with tasty traditional food, friendly service and a special atmosphere.
