Las Tenerias "Palomar" Organic Farm

Palomar 2 is one of six vacation homes available for rent, nestled within the Gran Canaria organic farm “Las Tenerias” and surrounded by palm trees, orange groves, green spaces, and vegetable gardens. In January 2021, all residential units were completely renovated and lovingly designed in the traditional Canarian style, each one individual and unique in its design and furnishings. <br>The organic finca “Las Tenerias” (translated as “the tanners”) is 230 years old and exudes charm and an incredible allure. It is part of the small hamlet of Arteara and is located in the heart of a nature reserve and biosphere reserve in the south of the island. The finca is surrounded by an impressive landscape, where green groves of palm trees and reeds create a fascinating contrast to the rugged rock formations. To the right and left rise the rugged, nearly 1,000-meter-high cliffs of Amurga, and the view opens up to the beautiful Fataga Valley (“Baranco de Fataga,” also known as the Valley of 1,000 Palms) all the way up to the volcanic peaks, nearly 2,000 meters high, in the center of the island. The quaint little village of Arteara, with its archaeological sites, and the “Baranco” behind it—with its giant palm trees and impenetrable reed forests—can be explored from the finca with a leisurely walk. <br>The certified organic finca practices sustainable agriculture and, across 30,000 m², features orange and fruit orchards, vegetable, lettuce, and herb gardens, as well as its own chickens, geese, and ducks, and several bee colonies producing the finca’s own honey. All of the finca’s products can be purchased fresh daily directly from the on-site farm store, which also offers everything you need for your vacation. <br>The scattered, detached living units, together with the finca’s main house, form a small finca village with spacious common areas. Next to it is the spacious barbecue area, perfect for gathering around a table, enjoying a cozy breakfast, or hosting a Canarian tapas evening, as well as the more secluded chill-out area with its own pool, nestled among orange trees, gardens, and palm trees. All of the finca houses also feature spacious and private terraces. <br>The finca’s location captivates with its absolute tranquility, impressive landscapes, and direct access to the island’s mountainous interior, far away from the tourist hotspots. Nevertheless, it is very conveniently located. In just 20 minutes (13 km) via a well-maintained road, you can reach the beaches and nightlife of Playa del Inglés, the sand dunes of Maspalomas, or the shopping areas in San Fernando. Heading toward the mountains, the picturesque and well-known village of Fataga is just 5 minutes (5 km) away. Everything is also easily accessible via bus line 18, which stops right in front of the finca.<br><br><br>Features of Palomar 2 – Panorama Apartment <br>• Living area 49 m², lot size 166 m² <br>• Standard occupancy: 4 people <br>• Elevated and private location with a magnificent view of the valley and the finca’s orange groves below <br>• 1 large, tastefully furnished, and covered panoramic terrace (130 m²), private pool with lounge chairs <br>• 2 bedrooms with double beds (160 cm x 200 cm) <br>• 2 bathrooms with shower and toilet <br>• Living room with integrated, open-concept Canarian kitchen, fully equipped with gas stove, oven, coffee maker, toaster, electric kettle, etc. <br>• Air conditioning and fans <br>• High-speed Wi-Fi and satellite TV <br>• Towels, bed linens, hair dryer <br>• Access to washing machines <br>• Private parking space <br>• Non-smoking home, no pets
