It is comprised of two completely independent houses one from the other, a century-old house and a rural porch with more than 100 years old, in addition to having parking and swimming pool completely private. The caves of the Guanches shelter it from any hint of civilization. It is the perfect place for those who love silence. One of the main attractions of this beautiful place are the contrasts of the vegetation and the arid zones it contains. The olive tree is characteristic of the farm to which the house belongs, and the nearest town, Santa Lucia, is located 5 kilometers away. This picturesque town of Gran Canaria has artisans dedicated to various disciplines (ceramics, looms, palm ...) and an agricultural market every Sunday of the week, being able to acquire fresh products directly from those who work the land. In addition to the countless birds that fly over the area with their peculiar songs, the Tirajana basin, to the southwest of the island, provides a bright sun almost all year round.  How to move The means of transport recommended to access the house and to move from it to other places on the island is the car. Mainly, because there is no means of public transport that can make the journey between the nearest town (Santa Lucia de Tirajana) and the house itself. In addition, the property has a completely private parking to park the vehicle that is rented. Due to the situation of the house, right in the center of Gran Canaria, there is the possibility of combining the more mountain activities with those that are more typical of the coast. This is due to the good road connections of the town of Santa Lucia, which makes it very easy to reach other points of the island's geography.  Attention to guests The attention to those who decide to stay in this property will be completely personalized 24 hours a day. If you have any questions or any inconvenience, you will be provided with a telephone number to resolve any matter at the time that is necessary and in the fastest and most professional way possible..  Other noteworthy aspects It is practically indispensable to have a vehicle and driving license to access the house and / or move from it to other places on the island, since it is only possible to do so by road. In addition, another positive aspect of the place is the invitation that makes the guests of this house to go hiking and walking in the area. During the spring it is almost essential to let the ear guide you to the ravine, which probably runs water during these dates.  House rules At Finca Mariola we want the guest to feel at home. It is precisely for this reason that we ask all those who stay in it to treat this house as if it were theirs. In the event that anything breaks or breaks down, we ask that you let us know immediately so there is total transparency.  Services and common areas Each house has its own privacy and its own services. Nothing is shared with any other guest who may be living at the same time as another. Each one will have their own parking and the houses do not communicate at any time. As for the services available to each house, we highlight each of the kitchens in each of the houses, as they are fully equipped (oven, vitro, microwave, dishwasher, minipimmer, etc). Each of the houses has its rest area and its own outdoor pool. In addition, the property also has Wi-Fi network for those who can not resist the temptation to reconnect with the outside world. You will not miss anything! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Onsite parking includes off-street options ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Porch ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near an outlet shopping centre ### Things to do - Ecotours nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 861 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 12:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

The email given does not work. When we areived there was infact someone there cleaning and he asked us to come back at 2pm as he had not finished cleaning. That was fine. The villa itself initially looked lovely, but then you see the plug hanging off the wall and just run down areas everywere. Wiifii was intermittent Garden area could of been amazing but it desperatly needs some TLC and fixing up, the fake grass is jist laid onto p of the ground which resulted in us relaying it daily due to rhe wind Theres rubbish and wood left around. It is a beautiful location and has potential to be amazing if they actually put some time into the upkeep of the property. We had a lovely peaceful stay until the last night, there was a party in the villa next door that had music on until atleast 1am. Really loud that you cpukd here it full volume with our windows and shutteds closed. ##### Sarah Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Elise H. 31 May 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Elise H.

Very quiet, it offers all the necessary comfort: a large bed, kitchen equipment to the height, TV, CD player, wifi connection, everything is there. We especially appreciated the friendliness and discretion of the owner. Very good. Thanks Octavio. ##### mama r.

Stunning view over the countryside with only chickens as neighbours. We enjoyed the terrace and also the barbeque grill. The bed was very comfy and huge, which was great ! The house was clean and provided everything you could need for cooking and feeling at home. Perfect wifi connection as well. only tiny downside is the bumby curvy rocky road you have to take to get to the house, but it´s a small price to pay to have the amazing view and privacy !Great experience !

We loved the house in the typical Canarian style and the gorgeous views down the valley and to the rough mountain ridge, far away from the mass tourism. Nice furniture and bedding, all in style and clean.The small swimming pool was unfortunately too cold, so sun heaters we highly recommend, as there is plenty of sunshine. The sun beds with mattrasses in the garden are great. The parasol does not work well as it is not heavy enough to cope with the strong winds. It often came down. Shadow you can find though of the little trees behind. Every morning we were happy with the fresh eggs from our chickens. However, beware of the cats who like to sneek into the house! Our daughter could still fit in the baby bed, which she liked. However, for a child a bit older, it would be nice to have an extra bed or the couch converted into a bed. For three persons, the kitchen equipement is not sufficient. Extra plates, mugs and bowls are needed. We refurnished a bit the kitchen as the removal of the microwave from the table. What we miss is a small wardrobe to hang the clothes, or, perhaps better as space is limited, a coat rack on/next to the door with cloths hangers. The house is difficult to reach and is not signposted. Especially the last part is rough as it is a very small steep windy track. It is faster to walk to San Bartolomé (just follow the water pipe after the second rental house and continue on the road, follow the marks from there) than taking the car.... We recommend the small etnographic museum in San Bartolomé; the nice keeper runs here the tourist office as well and can give you detailed walking information, also by using Google Earth. Within some years a walking route will be opened to visit the numerous caves in the mountain behind the house. It is not possible now due to overgrown vegetation and steepness. We had great hikes from the Rother walking guide: 37 (round of San Bartolomé-Degollada de Manzanilla-Cruz Grande-St. Jacobsway), 39 Santa Lucia-La Fortaleza-La Sorrueda-El Ingenio); 7: Cruz Grande - Pico de la Nieves. Enjoy your meal with the locals in the bar in Taidía, being the nearest restaurant The remarks of Alexis: "belle situation calme et reposante mais accès en voiture long et difficile. Prix exagéré par rapport au confort et à l' équipement minimaliste. Problème d' écoulement d' eau dans la douche. ##### Koning I.

Der Vermieter Octavio ist sehr nett und immer um Verbesserungen bemüht. Von hier aus kann man auch schöne Wanderungen unternehmen. ##### Sabine J.

Es ist vor allem nicht so wahllos eingerichtet wie viele andere - und man wird von der Sonne geweckt. Der Vermieter selbst ist auch extrem unkompliziert. Alles in allem: sehr empfehlenswert. ##### Martin H.

Sitio estupendo para poder descansar, y disfrutar de unas vistas estupendas. Sin duda he pasado junto a mi marido unos días estupendos.
