Are you looking for a special holiday experience and want to rent a Tenerife finca? During our stay we were in a hotel. However, we will rent a Tenerife finca next time we visit. In the hotels on the beach there is too much hustle and bustle for us. A finca holiday allows closer contact with the locals. At the same time, it provides an authentic experience of the island. In this article we introduce you to Tenerife fincas that you can rent on the island.
But what exactly is a finca? Basically it is a traditional Spanish country house. On a finca you live in a rural area away from the tourist strongholds and, depending on the accommodation, you also have access to the locals. Tenerife fincas are often surrounded by nature. They offer an authentic and idyllic holiday experience. Compared to a hotel stay, a finca holiday differs primarily in its privacy and tranquility. You can enjoy your own little paradise for a while without having to deal with other guests in the hotel. In addition, you can often use a fully equipped kitchen in a finca to cook for yourself and thus enjoy even more freedom and flexibility.
Discover here handpicked holiday farms and fincas on Tenerife, where you can experience a relaxing holiday outside of the tourist strongholds!
