Finca Horno de la Teja

The host was friendly and supporting. The house was very nice and cleaned. Swimming pool was clean and warm. The surrounding was very well maintained and beautiful.

This was in many ways one of the best villas I have ever stayed in (and I have stayed in lots!). The communication before travel and upon arrival was exceptional. The villa was extremely clean, comfortable and spacious (we were a group of 4 celebrating a major birthday) with a lovely pool and an extremely well equipped indoor and outdoor kitchen, all in amazing gardens and with stunning mountain views. Mogan has a good supermarket and it is a (rather twisty!) 15 minute drive down to the larger facilities of Puerto de Mogan. The only downside (and the reason that I have gone for 4 stars not 5) is the dogs. Now, I love dogs, have owned them all my life, and am sat looking at my furry friend as I type this. The near neighbours own dogs, that live in cages outdoors. They bark, more or less incessantly, ALL DAY - indeed I got up at 2am for a drink and they were still barking then - they are loud enough that even with the doors and windows shut you can hear them! It's like water torture. I nearly went mad at one point, and it meant that we ended up spending much less time at the villa than we would have liked. Such a shame.

This was a beautiful location and we were very comfortable in the house. Each of the five bedrooms was pleasant and the furnishings were all of very high quality. It was a place that had space for everyone and was in a quiet countryside yet close to the charming port of Mogan. The only thing that could be improved upon is the pool heating in the winter months. We would return for sure if we had the opportunity!

We stayed at Finca Horno de la Teja for a week in early January, 5 adults and 3 kids/teens. Ilse was very helpful and responded quickly to our requests, and even let us delay our check-out. The house and property was spotless with plenty of space and well equipped. The pool was clean and nicely tempered (26-27 deg). At that time of year the sun reached us at 10:15 and disappeared about 18:30. There’s a 10ish minute drive down to the coast and Puerto Mogán. You do need a car to get around, but there are some nice local restaurants within walking distance (~2km), and a decently stocked grocery store in nearby Mogan. There are many nice (and steep) hiking options in the vicinity, an easy way to find them is through the “AllTrails” app. All in all highly recommended!
