About this property

Holiday home Casa La Pintora, beach 2km, nice garden hiking, nature park, AGAETE

Only 2km from the beach, above the village of El Risco (Agaete territory), Casa La Pintora, "the painters house" offers its studio-like accommodation for 2 guests.

A queen-size bed (1,50x2,00m), CD stereo unit, WiFi, DSL Internet by cable and a little SatTV (Astra) are awaiting you. The convertible sofa can be used as an additional bed for a child.

The Canary Islands artist Ana Luisa Benítez restored the little cottage in traditional style for her painting excursions in the nature park.
A resting place below a palm tree and a nice enclosed garden a few steps upwards are places for dreaming and relaxing. The view to the surrounding Tamadaba mountains invites for hiking. A spectacular star filled sky glitters at new moon nights.

At low tide on calm days you will be surprised by a wide sandbank and a shallow beach down on the coast, 5 minutes by car and a little walk away. Even in summer an insider´s tip.
Only 150 meters above sea level und protected from the trade winds and clouds by the mountains of the biosphere reserve, El Risco provides one of the best microclimates of Gran Canaria.

Cafe-bar-restaurant and a traditional corner´s shop are a walk away down in the village. In the old town of Agaete and its fishing port, 15km away, you will find supermarket, shops, cash machine and more restaurants.

Really Disappointed!
My wife and I had a terrible time staying at Casa La Pintora due to expectations not met. Contrary to owner's beautiful photographs (he is a professional photographer) the studio is not big, the space feel tight even for just two people, it is not clean and it has only one window and that looks into the stone wall of his other apartment next door, the others are just small openings high up and a tiled skylight or two in the roof. When we mentioned our concerns to owner, he said there is no problem, so we proceeded to go on. We found the ventilation is poor (a bit smelly) and the house is not level, it has a couple of single steps and the bed is on platform, so it is quite dangerous to walk around. There are quite a few other complaints but I will not go into details, the upshot is that when we contacted the owner and asked if we can upgrade to his apartment next door, which was empty, he refused giving us some meek excuses (eg. we found the drive from Agaete is challenging and I don't know what that has to do with anything), so we left early and he refused to give us a refund for the 3 days we were not there. It is not the money or the external environment, it was a most unpleasant way for us to spend indoor, it felt like a prison and we have to thank the owner and his unfriendly and untruthful attitude for that!

Lässt keine Wünsche offen
Als wir vom Flughafen in Richtung Agaete fuhren waren wir geschockt wie braun und dürr und zugebaut die Insel ist. Aber je näher wir zu unserer Ferienwohnung kamen desto schöner wurde die Natur und rarer die Häuser. In der Bar in El Risco wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen und es war sofort jemand da der uns zum Haus begleitete und uns alles zeigte und erklärte. Das Haus selber hat alles was man sich nur wünschen kann. Die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet und das Wohn-/Schlafzimmer sehr gemütlich. Als Garten stehen zwei Bereiche in unterschiedlichen Ebenen mit genügend Stühlen, zwei Liegen und einem Grill zur Verfügung. Überhaupt ist die ganze Anlage in einer außergewöhnlichen und liebevollen Weise gestaltet und gepflegt. In der Bar in El Risco (geführt von einem sehr netten und hilfsbereiten Besitzer) kann man neben preisgünstigem Essen und Trinken auch Lebensmittel erwerben (fragt nach lokalen Früchten wie Orangen oder Papayas!). Wer eine größere Auswahl will, kann mit dem Auto (Mietauto ist sehr empfehlenswert) in das 15 Minuten entfernte La Aldea zu einem sehr gut sortierten Spar Supermarkt fahren. Die Gegend rund um El Risco ist ideal zum Wandern. Und wer die Stille genießen will ist genau richtig. Wer jedoch auf Action und Halligalli steht ist am falschen Platz. Erwähnenswert ist auch noch das schnelle Internet und die Möglichkeit jederzeit mit dem deutschen Besitzer zu kommunizieren (E-Mail oder Telefon). Wir haben den Aufenthalt jedenfalls sehr genossen und können die Adresse wärmstens weiter empfehlen.

Wunderschönes idyllisches Plätzchen
Wir waren über Weihnachten 2018 in El Risco. Das Wetter war gut und die Hälfte unserer Klamotten, hätten wir auch zuhause lassen können. Gegessen haben wir ausschliesslich in kleinen heimischen Bars, oder wir haben uns eine Kleinigkeit in der gut ausgestatteten Küche zubereitet und uns dann in den wunderschönen Garten verkrümelt. Für mich waren die Fahrten mit dem Auto zunächst "beeindruckend", mein Mann hingegen hat diese Kurvenfahrten geliebt, aber auch ich habe mich schnell daran gewöhnt. Obwohl wir kein spanisch können, hat alles ganz gut geklappt. Supermärkte gibt es in den Nachbarorten und Kleinigkeiten bekommt man auch in der Bar Perdomo im Ort. Essensbestellungen in den Bars laufen meist über bebilderte Gerichte, die an der Wand hängen, also zur Not einfach nur drauf zeigen und alles ist prima. Der 1. Weihnachtstag ist ein Feiertag, danach geht alles wieder seinen normalen Gang. Wir waren vor allem Wandern. Besonders waren hier die Touren zum Roque Nublo und ganz besonders empfehlenswert die Tour im Tamadaba Park oberhalb des Hauses. Sieht zwar sehr nah aus, aber aufgrund der Berge braucht man 1,5 Stunden für die Hinfahrt, welche sich aber absolut lohnen. Es war ein toller Urlaub in einem wunderschönen urigen Häuschen und eigentlich müsste hier jeder ins Schwärmen geraten, der keine Lust auf Pauschalurlaub hat.

About the host

Hosted by Jürgen Richter

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The microclimate of Gran Canaria is rather pronounced. The valley of El Risco on the west coast is protected by the mountains of the Tamadaba Natural Park from the trade winds in winter times and provides one of the best locations on the island.
Casa La Pintora is a offically registerd holiday home in the "Vivienda turistica" category.

What makes this property unique

Restoring this cottage the Canary Islands artist Ana Luisa Benítez adhered stylistically confident to the elements of traditional canarian architecture: Natural stone, old wooden beams, an inside cane covered roof.
The house seems to hide inside the magnificent environment and radiates warmth and harmony in its straightforwardness.
The enclosed garden, surrounded by palm trees, opens the view to the hiking destinations and hilltops of the Tamadaba Nature Park.
The breakfast place beyond our own palm tree looks as though painted in the landscape.
