About this cottage rental
Watch the dolphins on the ferry to La Gomera, then drive for 1 hr 10 mins through amazing woods and mountains, before arriving in Taguluche.
This picturesque village of 40 houses hidden away between the volcanic mountains, offers a quiet, beautiful escape for anyone wanting to relax.
At the end of the road, park the car and walk down a stone and grass footpath( uneven and not suitable for anyone who is not fit) that winds through the palm trees for 200 m before you reach SUNSET RETREAT. Our house is at 100 metres above sea level. Enjoy the completely private terrace, with sunbeds and outdoor shower, a large garden with mango trees and palm trees. The evenings are long and the sunsets into
the sea are amazing. The night sky offers stunning views (no light pollution here) and the Milky Way is easily spotted.
This old tomato packing house, completely renovated, offers a kitchen, large bathroom and a bright living room with an open plan bedroom. This summer (2024) we have had a new roof put onto the house. It looks great and it will be quieter inside as it is a lot more insulated.
The same footpath continues down to the coast with a great headland with views along the entire coast. You can see the old Pier, still standing. The village has a church, BBQ area, bar/restaurant, another rocky beach and many walks.
If you want to get away from it all, this is the perfect place for you!!!!

Lovely owners were very responsive and the house is super for nature lovers like us! Besides: Taguluche is a wonderful quiet pueblo.

Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Sunset Retreat. It is so peaceful sitting on the very large patio, watching the sunset and then seeing the stars come out. Fantastic view of the Milky Way. The house was lovely and had everything we needed, including an outdoor (unheated) shower that we used a lot after coming back sweaty from walks. The bed, in particular, was very comfortable, but apart from sleeping we generally lived on the patio. We walked somewhere everyday, sometimes in the valley including to Arure and the length of the Barranco de Guaranel but mainly drove to other areas to walk so got quite used to the twisty, narrow road (although one day a thunderstorm resulted in water and rocks covering the road - best to stay put if one is forecast!). The house might not suit everyone as it is remote and 300m down a rough path from the road, but we loved it. Communications with the hosts were great and fast and if we'd had problems I'm sure we would have had a quick reply.

The house is exactly as stated a nice rustic home at a premium spot of the island. We enjoyed two weeks there!
The house matches the description. The room is bigger than the pictures suggest. Be advised that you will need to do a lot of driving on winding roads that take 1h+ for 30-40km (for us its part of the holiday, driving down the valley is super scenic and does not get boring).
We especially liked:
- location, location, location - one of the nicest places on the island if you fancy peace and quiet
- challenging and scenic hikes just around the corner
- outdoor shower
- terrace with sunset over El Hierro and La Palma at the horizon
- outdoor equipment at the terrace
- very clean
What could be improved:
- loud compressor of the fridge
- some more maintenance/attention to detail concerning maintenance (e.g. view protection at the fence, cabinets; there is nothing "broken", but there is considerable wear)
All in all recommendable if you like rustic, non-touristic places off the grid and want some real peace and quiet!
