Casa Caracol
2 1 
The romantic Canarian-style Casa Caracol is set in an exclusive location at 508m above sea level on the west side of La Palma, enjoying one of the best climates on the island.
The house is located in the valley of El Jesús, a valley of the palm trees near the village of Tijarafe. There is 3,080 m² of land associated with the property which has been partially left in its natural condition.
A spiral staircase on the south side of the house leads to a 6 m² roof terrace.
The terraced garden features romantic corners with many tropical plants, an orchard with a variety of fruit and an old pajero (old Canarian goat stable or storage room). In front of the pajero, there is a small volcanic cave (lava bubble).
The terrace is surrounded by many flowering plants and the pergola provides optimal protection against sun and rain. A large, traditional Canarian grill can be found on the terrace.
The lavishly designed infinity pool (8 m x 4 m x 1.40 m) boasts a fantastic view of the Atlantic and the beautiful sunset. A large sunbathing area is another perfect place to relax and is sheltered from the wind by a glass fence so you can enjoy cooler evening hours with a glass of wine, even after a hot day.
The central living room features a traditional Canarian roof and features a charming fireplace and an integrated fully equipped kitchen. You can have breakfast or relax and work in the adjacent sun-drenched conservatory, which has a wonderful view of the sea.
There are also two bedrooms with spacious wardrobes and a bathroom with a large walk-in shower and a washing machine.

Was für ein wunderbarer Ort! Genießen Sie jeden Abend einen wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang. Aber was macht diesen Ort so schön: der Raum um Sie herum, die fantastische Aussicht, der schöne frische Swimmingpool, eine gut ausgestattete Küche und die Ruhe. Das Haus hat viele Terrassen, auf denen Sie sich entspannen können. Außerdem gibt es dort alles, was Sie brauchen könnten. (Schauen Sie nach, was es dort gibt, bevor Sie in den Supermarkt gehen) Sowohl Hannes als auch der Hausbesitzer selbst sind bereit, Ihnen zu helfen. Sehr aufmerksam. Im Haus gibt es Informationsbücher über das Haus und die Umgebung in drei Sprachen, durch die wir z.B. einen schönen Markt gefunden haben. Und ein absolutes Muss: Bringen Sie ein Fernglas mit! Von der Terrasse aus konnten wir Wale beobachten.

Casa Caracol es el lugar perfecto para desconectar y disfrutar de un entorno natural único en una casita acogedora al estilo canario y con vistas tanto al mar como a la montaña. Además dispone de una piscina maravillosa con vistas infinitas al océano lo cual, sin duda, lo hace un entorno mágico.

Casa Caracol es una bonita casa en medio de un paisaje espectacular. El atardecer en el porche o en la piscina infinita es único, con el mar a lo lejos y el sol ocultándose en el horizonte. Dentro de la casa tienes todo lo que necesitas y fuera el paisaje te invita a ir más despacio y a olvidarte del resto del mundo. Y es cierto lo que dice la dueña en su libro de bienvenida: el agua y el aire son tan puros que ¡no necesitas utilizar suavizante cuando lavas tu ropa! Nos gustaría volver

Casa Caracol is the ideal place for those who want to rest in a nice and very clean traditional house of La Palma. The infinite pool was the must for me, with a splendid vue to the ocean and a unique sunset every day. I really apreciate the quietness of the area, the afternoons between the freshness of the sunny pool and the shadow of the terace. I appreciate the furnished kitchen with all you need to cook on your own. The house is self check-in and check-out but Hannes was every time available for all information related to the house and the environment of the house.
La Palma
The island of La Palma offers breathtaking landscapes, remote beaches, imposing volcanoes, dense forests and incomparably starry skies.
With its 708 square kilometres, an elevation of 2.426m and its shape of a heart it is the most Western island of the Canary Island chain. Like every island in this archipelago, La Palma was created by volcanic activity. It is one of the youngest of the seven islands, dating back some 1.7 million years. The volcanic origin of La Palma is still clearly recognizable today, especially the southern part of the island with the dormant volcano Teneguía which last erupted in 1971, and offers interesting insights into its geological past.
The year-round mild climate with average temperatures between 18 and 27 degrees Celsius produce spring-summerlike weather as a result of the northeast trade winds.
This weather phenomenon is responsible for a pleasant subtropical climate and a rich green vegetation that prevails because of the humidity carried along in the trade winds. These moisture rich winds at certain times of the year also create a spectacular waterfall of clouds cascading down the central mountain faces and hence the nicknames Isla Verde – Green Island and Isla Bonita – Beautiful Island.
The unique geological structure of the island with its variety of vegetation zones and microclimates that are rarely found in the world on such a small area make this island a miniature universe. Each area of the island varies completely from another. In 1983 La Palma was declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
Another special feature of La Palma is the unique night sky. Due to its location in the Atlantic Ocean, sparse population, minimum light pollution and highest mountain peak Roque de los Muchachos 2.426m, the island was chosen as the location for one of the largest and modern observatories in the world.
The official population of the island is approximately 80,000 people. Traditional festivals such as the Bajada de la Virgen or Los Indianos carnival, famous far beyond the island’s borders, bear witness to the zest for life of the local people (Palmeros). Not only the geographical location, but also the numerous immigrants from Central and South America show a variety of Hispanic influences in island life, cuisine and cultural.
