Einfacher Almhütten-Charakter - etwas Vintage!

Von dem kleinen Stichsträßchen in Las Casas/ El Pinar (parken am Ende) geht´s so 150 m einen kleinen Pfad steil und wirklich unwegsam zur Finca La Jarita. Wir haben unser nötigstes Gepäck in unsere Rucksäcke verladen und Wanderschuhe angezogen. Mit Sandalen/ Flip Flops geht da nix. Die Finca selber ist 150 Jahre alt und man muss mit einigen Mängeln leben. Eingangstüre klemmt, Wasserhähne verkalkt, Bett wackelt u.a. Kleinigkeiten. Wirklich sicher verschließen lässt sich das Haus auch nicht, aber wir hatten ja eh wenig dabei, sondern das Meiste gleich im Auto gelassen. Wichtig war, dass wir den Holzofen einheizen konnten (nachts 13°, da auf ca. 850m Höhe)! Dafür ist die Lage knapp über dem Dorf und dennoch abgeschieden ruhig und gut, inmitten von kleinen Anbauterrassen. Zur Super-Pizzeria sind La Vita sind ein paar Minuten zu Fuß; für den steilen Rückweg Lampe nicht vergessen! Ruben, der Vermieter, spricht etwas Deutsch und ist sehr hilfsbereit; gute Infos rund um die Insel. Holz bekamen wir auch über Ruben. Insgesamt war´s mal ganz was anderes und mit Gelassenheit für eine Woche auszuhalten. PS: Mit wenig Aufwand (Zugang mit Treppen und Mängelbeseitigung) ließe sich aus der Finca so viel mehr machen!

Romantik pur

Liebevoll renoviertes, sehr ursprüngliches Haus. Einfach ausgestattet, aber es war alles da, was wir brauchten. Es war immer ein Glück, morgens vor die Tür zu treten und den Geräuschen des Dorfes zu lauschen. Wer Ruhe, Abgeschiedenheit und Naturnähe sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Ruben war ein perfekter Gastgeber, alles sehr unkompliziert. Er hat immer mal nachgefragt, ob wir alles haben und hat sich um alles gekümmert. Vielen Dank noch mal von Ute und Wolfgang

Vogelkonzert

Wir haben die Zeit in dieser schönen "casa rural" sehr genossen, uns an dem ausdauernden wohlklingenden Gesang der Kanariengierlitze in den Mandelbäumen rund ums Haus erfreut und waren -bei abgeschiedener Lage - in nur wenige Gehminuten im Ortskern von Las Casas oder mit dem Auto in wenigen Kilometern an llen "hotspots" der Insel.

Unkomplizierter Gastgeber! Ein Ort zum Herunterfahren!

Ruhiger und sauberer Ort. Wir wurden mit Früchten der Insel willkommengeheissen. Einkaufs- und Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten zu Fuss erreichbar, zentraler Ausgangspunkt, um die vielen Naturspektakel zu erwandern und erforschen😊. Der Zugang zum Haus erfordert Trittsicherheit und nachts eine Taschenlampe. Danke, Rubén, für Deine Gastfreundschaft! Brigitta und Catia

Super

Parfait, isolé et reposant. Maison bien équipée avec du charme. Il faut juste prévoir une lampe de poche pour accéder à la maison en cas de retour de nuit. L'avantage : la voute céleste est somptueuse car non parasitée par la luminosité ambiante. Merci à Ruben pour sa disponibilité et pour nous avoir ouvert sa maison. Elisabeth et Stephane

Rural heaven

We stayed for two weeks in July and were enchanted. Ruben has made a splendid job of renovating a small farm house with thick lava walls. It is a small and cosy place, perfect for a couple, although there is also a small room that could accomodate another person and also a sofa that could serve as a third bed. Everything is very clean and we appreciated that some of the basic products we found in the cupboards (salt, oil, tea, etc) were left there for our use. The nearest house is about a hundred meters down so you won't be disturbed by human activities. But at the same time, the village is very close by and a short walk will take you to the essential services. We would not recommand the house for people with disabilities because you have to walk on an uphill rocky trail for a few dozen meters to reach this little heaven. Our favorite activities at La Jarita: star gazing and sleeping late in a very soothing silence. Our favorite activities outside of La Jarita: walking in the pine forest, driving around the island to discover rocky alcoves to snorkel, the impeccable intepretation centers and numerous walks. At first, we planned to stay for 5 days and go island hoping, but decided to stay a full two weeks for we could not imagine a more perfect setting. The highlight of our stay is the warmth of our host and is family. While he lives on the northern part of the island, he came to visit to offer advice on what to see and where to go, including local events such as traditionnal festivals. He also brought us fruits that he picked himself. We felt truly welcomed and wish that our paths will cross again. Philippe et Noémi .

Fin de semana en El Hierro

Hola, acabo de pasar un fin de semana en El Hierro en la casa rural La Jarita. Nos encantó la casa porque está ubicada en plena naturaleza en un lugar muy tranquilo ideal para descansar y relajarse. Es muy bonita y está decorada como si fuera una casa antigua, pero está muy limpia y es muy confortable. Recibimos un trato inmejorable por parte de su propietario ya que nos facilitó información sobre las mejores visitas y actividades de la isla.

Ein traumhafter Aufenthalt

Für mich hat Casa La Jarita hat einen ganz besonderen Flair. Über einen kleinen, steinigen Fußpfad erreicht man das Häuschen. Ein schöner Sitzplatz im Freien mit Stühlen, kleinem Tisch und Sonnenschirm lädt zum Verweilen ein. Thymian wächst überall, Kakteen und viele andere Pflanzen. Man ist nicht weit weg vom Ortskern und doch total abgeschieden und idyllisch inmitten der Natur. Das Haus selbst ist liebevoll eingerichtet mit viel Holz und vielen Details, der Wohn- und Essbereich mit Küchenzeile ist geräumig. Der Sichtdachstuhl macht den Raum noch größer. Für 2-3 Leute ideal. Ich habe den Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen, die Ruhe, die Natur ringsum, einige Wanderwege sind schnell zu Fuß erreichbar. Gerne wieder!

casa jarita

Peaceful retreat , set in the hillside just above the village, ideal for walking with walks in all directions , shops nearby, car parking a short walk below house. Converted old farmhouse is charming and well suited to two or three people. Cool in the evenings so log fire was very pleasant. logs provided. Good hot water. Clean and well maintained, owner was very helpful, and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. At 350m can feel cool at night, and loses the sun around 4pm. Outside very green , tiny fields with stone walls, lots of cactus plants. very pleasant to sit outside. It can have a bit more cloud than down on the coast, but the view and vegetation made up for it. We were very pleased with our choice as this was our first visit to El Hierro and were taken aback by the kindness of the locals and the prettiness of the surroundings.

Lovely quiet rural retreat

This is a delightful holiday house. I stayed for 2 weeks in December. The house is well equipped and simple but comfortable. Ruben the owner was extremely obliging - even providing chopped logs for the wood burning fire. I was doing a lot of walking and this is an excellent base. It is high up which means that it is colder than the coast - take a warmer jacket for the evenings. I would recommend this place for anyone wanting a quiet, pretty holiday house and for anyone wanting tranquility and who likes walking. I have nothing negative to say about the property or the experience at all - just be aware that it is at 3000 feet and will be significantly cooler than the coast. I hired a car for one of the weeks that I was there and walked from the Casa for the first week. I cooked for myself all the time - there are good supermarkets in El Pinar and a lovely organic butchers.

Casita con encanto en un paraje excepcional

Estuve en esta casa con mi pareja durante tres días a principios de octubre de 2012. Si lo que se busca es tranquilidad y estar en contacto con la naturaleza, no duden.... es la mejor opción. La casa es simplemente preciosa y tiene mucha historia. Gracias a su acceso por un caminito te encuentras apartado del resto de vecinos, por lo que la intimidad queda asegurada. La Jarita está completamente equipada, y está muy cerca del casco del pueblo (El Pinar) donde se encuentran supermercados, restaurantes, y otros servicios...se puede llegar a pie en poco tiempo. Comentar que la isla es increíble, tiene unos paisajes espectaculares...y te ofrece la oportunidad de realizar miles de actividades (buceo, senderos, playas, gastronomía, etc) Quiero hacer especial mención al propietario, Rubén, que estuvo muy pendiente de que no nos faltara de nada. GRACIAS Me encanta la isla y me encanta la casa...así que volveremos!!

Très belle location dans village au calme

Une très belle petite maison en pierre de lave,pour 2 nuitées que nous avons appréciée.Nous étions deux adultes et deux enfants. La maison est très bien décorée et est bien équipée. Une chambre à l'étage et une au rdc. la maison est située dans un petit village à proximité de la forêt de pin d'El Hierro. C'est un très bon pied à terre pour visiter l'île d'El Hierro. La restinga est à proximité pour se baigner ou plage sauvage dans un environnement minéral. L'accueil a été très chalereux avec une corbeille de fruit à notre arrivée. Une location à conseiller!!

Charming cottage on a hill side

We – a family of three w. a child of 2 years - rented this charming cottage for 2 weeks over the Christmas holidays (2011/2012). The house and location is absolutely gorgeous. It is an old farm house which has been beautifully renovated. From the outside the house looks as I imagine all house on the Island did a hundred years ago (indeed the house is around 150 years old). For us it was an ideal house since its location offers so many different things to do right outside your doorstep. Among others sunbathing and reading on the very private terrace, walking around in the beautiful old terraced landscape starting just behind the house, barbecuing (at the grill) while overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, walking to the nearby bar to have your daily shot of espresso, tightening your trekking shoes and follow the official but very steep trekking route down to the beautiful beach Las Playas or visit the two wise old goats living 300 meters from the house. From the house you also have the view to the fairytale- alike pine forest that El Pinar is famous of. Inside the 1 meter thick stone walls the house is well functioning and has recently been fully renovated with great respect to its history. The house was perfect clean and the host (Ruben) is very helpful and has many good advice on what to see and do on the island.
