Villa Botánico
Stylish holiday villa on La Palma full of character in the style of a classic manor house with private pool surrounded by an unique garden park.
The spectacular Villa Botánico is located on a plot of more than 20.000 m². A beautifully landscaped garden park with many flowers, plants, trees, a pond and all that with magnificent views awaits you! A villa with a landscaped park and a pool area in a class of its own! A skilful assemblage of traditional Canarian architecture with style-forming elements of modern interiors and exteriors.
This piece of earth enchants its guests at first sight. The stately mansion in the middle of a charming, rural environment opens a new category in the upper class of holiday homes! The tastefully designed pool landscape, which harmoniously blends into the garden realm, is also perfect for this. The wide horizon over the Atlantic Ocean seems so close that you can hardly see everything at a glance.
Enjoy the silence and luxuriant splendour of plants at the romantic water lily pond. In general, the house is a paradise for garden & nature lovers! The masterful garden architecture is combined with numerous exhibits of classical and modern garden art to a total work of art, which is unique in the Canary archipelago. A stroll through the gardens provides wonderful and surprising views of sculptures, groups of trees and charming views of the azure blue Atlantic.
Interior
The interior of the villa is characterized by a modern handwriting. Here, value is placed on the highest level of comfort down to the smallest detail. The large windows allow plenty of light into the large rooms. The discreet colour scheme creates a warm play of colours. The fireplace crackles comfortably and certainly contributes to the sense of well-being. Taste was proven in the equipment, numerous Bauhaus desig furniture, Le Courbusier armchairs, etc. delight the eye of every lover of exquisite designs. The rooms are heated by a gas central heating system (included from 01.11. – 31.03.). The living room is heated with a chimney stove.
From the two twin bedrooms on the ground floor, the view over the terrain falls down to the valley. The petroleum-coloured beds (180 cm x 200 cm with two mattresses: 90 cm x 200 cm) have excellent separate mattresses. Only the chirping of birds from the nearby pine trees can be heard. Without question, the bathroom is also “très chic”. Hammered silver from Morocco and decorative marble round off the luxurious character of Villa Botánico. On the upper floor there is a spacious suite with a comfortable double bed (two mattresses: 90 cm x 200 cm).
At the weekend, not far from the villa, there is the Mercadillo, a popular weekly market where fresh fruit and vegetables as well as wine and cheese specialities from the region are sold.

We said before we arrived at the villa we would be happy if it was 50% as good as the photographs. What we didn’t expect was it was so much bigger, better, and more beautiful than we could possibly imagine. The gardens are absolutely stunning, the house and interior design are just perfect. The attention to detail and quality is exceptional. Everywhere you look offers a feast for the eyes. The pool provides the most amazing view at all times, although particularly spectacular at sunset. The entire property is designed with comfort, relaxation and appreciation of the beautiful surroundings. The house manager Tina was so very helpful, especially when we had a minor road accident and she came with her husband to give us a tow! We loved every moment of staying at this unique property and are planning a return visit next year. No hesitation in recommending HIGHL!

Our brief stay in Villa Botanico turned out to be the hoped-for "all-purpose remedy" after a challenging winter and spring in central Europe. The villa and the surrounding property are exactly as described -- a paradise for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty, with an extra dose of Moroccan touch. We particularly loved the exquisite and lush garden area, providing several shaded places with small tables and chairs. The extensive pool terrace is equally terrific -- the site of many attempts to capture the daily manifestations of each stunning sunset. The views towards the ocean are completely unobstructed and the immediate environment is very quiet. We wished that we could stay longer!
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.
