La Palma holiday house: Puntagorda

we have just spent a perfect week staying here on the hill side surrounded by avocado trees, almond trees and oranges. the west side of the island is indeed the sunny side we had days of beautiful blue skies and warm evenings under the stars, eating on the terrace and listening to the sounds of the night.

This house is truly beautiful. simply authentic canarian in a heavenly spot. made only better by the wonderfully warm reception, care and attention to welcoming detail from Jutta.

its is surrounded by winding paths to stroll and is blessed by the evening sunset each night turning the rocks and cactus' reds and oranges as the sun dips in to the sea.

we hired a car which is a good idea to get down to the secluded beaches at the bottom of the widing cliff roads, and the breathtakng walks around the crater in the north and ancient forests are only a short drive away through pine forests. the nearest beach is a short drive as is the town for provisions but the payoff for being in the middle of the untouched age old countryside is so worth being slightly of the beaten track.

the appartment is spotless and homely with all needs catered for and more besides.

i have told everyone i know to go and stay there
