Quality holiday accommodation in Tenerife |

North Tenerife |
Situated in the north west of the island the Municipality of Icod de los Vinos stretches from the pine forests on the mountain slopes down through fertile valleys to the sea. A lush and varied landscape surrounded by banana plantations and vineyards.
There is a beautiful beach at Playa de San Marcos with a good selection of sea front restaurants. The town of Icod itself is steeped in history dating back to 1501. It has palaces, churches and convents to visit and is home to the Ancient Dragon Tree-said to be thousands of years old.
Nearby Garachico was once Tenerife's busiest port dating back to 1496. For 200 years ships set sail with their produce including sugar and wine. Then in 1706 a volcanic eruption buried much of the town and harbour. The harbour was never to fully recover but the local inhabitants rebuilt much of the town and today these same buildings, squares and cobbled narrow streets make Garachico a fascinating and beautiful place to visit.
