When we are on vacation, we are happy to have contacts who are on site and know their way around. We live near the hacienda. If you need us, we are happy to help and advise you. We solve your questions directly and straightforwardly on site. We also protect your privacy. We make sure that everything runs smoothly in the background.

We implement various services ourselves and rely on our partners for other areas.

Don Pedro, the good spirit of the finca, naturally always arouses our guests’ desires and, as a charmer himself, he knows how to use his popularity to the full. Nevertheless, we must point out that our furry nose is also on the hunt for mice in the service of the finca and receives his food from the team 😉

He is also not allowed in the vacation homes, as we always have allergy sufferers visiting who want to spend their well-deserved vacation with us without red eyes.

We have WIFI in all our vacation homes, the internet connection is very stable and is provided by radio relay. The speed of over 20Mbps download and 5Mbps upload is sufficient for video conferencing and office use.

Your satisfaction is important to us. Here are some points you should consider before booking:

• The journey from Santa Cruz airport to Hacienda La Palma takes approx. 1.5 – 2 hours. There are good shopping opportunities along the way, e.g. in El Paso, Los Llanos or Puntagorda. We will be happy to provide you with further recommendations before your arrival.
• After leaving the well-maintained LP 111 road, access to the hacienda is via a steep concrete track for approx. 500 meters. The last 100 meters lead over a forest path. Navigation systems do not work properly in this region. Please use our directions and the video link that we will provide you with after booking.
• We will be happy to help you book a suitable rental car. Regardless of where you book your vehicle: Please note that La Palma is a steep island. With sufficient horsepower and ground clearance, it is much more pleasant to drive. We recommend vehicles from 75-80 hp such as the Citroen Berlingo or FIAT Panda 4×4 from Monta Cars.
• The Hacienda is only suitable for younger children to a limited extent. There are steps and slopes due to the hillside location. We will be happy to advise you in advance so that you can decide whether it suits you.
• Please note that our vacation homes have a secluded location in the middle of the vineyard. Reachable from the parking lot via longer footpaths. We will be happy to help you with your luggage.
• Although our photos may give you a different impression: We are not a ‘luxury vacation resort’, or a “luxury villa” but an organically run winery. We offer our guests well-equipped vacation homes and apartments.
• As we are in the middle of nature, we have beneficial insects such as bees, birds, ichneumon wasps, ground beetles, etc. We make sure that these do not get into the houses. If you have special allergies or similar, we ask you to check whether a vacation with us makes sense.

We are a strong team of permanent employees. We are happy to provide you with flexible advice and assistance so that you can enjoy a relaxing vacation home vacation on La Palma. In addition, together with our partners, we offer services that go beyond some vacation home standards. We ask you to inquire about availability individually in advance.
