A traditional Canarian villa with spectacular 180° Atlantic views, surrounded by
blossoming Mediterranean gardens "on top of the world". Situated on a volcanic hill
near Puntagorda on La Palma's northwest coast, this traditional Mediterranean-style
villa offers an oasis of absolute peace and relaxation. The house with its old terracotta
tiles is picturesquely embedded in the surrounding Mediterranean landscape
architecture with its various terraces and seating spaces.
The villa was recently modernised and offers a unique view of the seemingly endless
Atlantic Ocean. The cosy, stylish interiors with their antique French floor tiles are
characterised by bright colours, classic furniture and Bauhaus-style design classics that
harmonise with the whitewashed walls and warm wood tones of the windows and
doors. Handmade Moroccan tiles and a hammered silver-plated washbasin in the
travertine bathroom show the attention to detail. The spacious bedroom with its
panoramic window overlooks the picturesque natural surroundings and the azure blue
ocean.
The living and dining area with open-plan kitchen leads to a roofed terrace. Another
modern glass-framed viewing terrace in front of the house seems to lead straight to
the horizon and the clouds over the ocean. From here you can enjoy unrivalled
sunsets and dreamy starry nights from the front row.
Good to know …
The villa is located in Puntagorda, a village in the northwest of La Palma, a heartshaped island with secluded beaches, volcanoes and dense forests. Located between
the ravines of Garome and Izcagua, Puntagorda is surrounded by pine and almond
trees and is famous for its almond blossoms in January and February. Visit the
“Almendro en Flor” festival in February with music, dancing and free almond and palm
wine, or the patron saint festival in honour of San Mauro Abad in August. The
Barranco de Izcagua and the forest of El Fayal are beautiful excursion destinations
nearby. A popular market, the Mercadillo, is held in the village at weekends, where
local produce, wine, cheese and handicrafts are on sale.

Hiking trails lead directly from the villa into the unspoilt nature of the
greenest island of the Canaries. The unique biodiversity of vegetation and fauna of
"Europe's Galapagos" is a unique natural spectacle. La Palma is famous for its clear
night skies with minimal light pollution, so you can experience an evening sky full of
stars. The observatory on the Roque de Los Muchacho, one of the largest in the
world, is open to visitors by prior reservation.
