About this cottage rental
A charming traditional Canarian house with over 150 years of history, evident in its thick stone walls and original wooden floors.
Located in the La Calera neighborhood, among charming little pedestrian streets, the house overlooks La Playa, the Borbalan neighborhood, and the Valle Gran Rey Natural Park, which is just a few minutes away. Undergoing continuous restoration since 2008, it was once a vacation home for the poet Celia Askanova, from whom it takes its name. During its restoration, special care was taken to preserve the original layout and materials, as the house is a prime example of traditional 19th-century Canarian architecture. This is evident in the wooden floors and ceilings and in the typical Canarian kitchen.
The Askanova House has three floors: the Askanova apartment (on the first floor) and two additional floors.
The first floor (Askanova apartment) features a terrace and outdoor furniture, a double bedroom with two single beds, a bathroom, and a kitchen-living room with a 1.60 × 2.00 sofa bed.
The rest of the house (first and second floors) includes: two double bedrooms—one with a double bed and one with two single beds—and a small third bedroom (with a sofa bed) accessible from the double bedroom. The house has a bathroom, a living room with a DVD player, Wi-Fi, ASTRA satellite TV, a music system, a reading lamp, board games, etc., and a traditional Canarian kitchen. The upper level of the house features a sun deck equipped with patio furniture and a view of the sea. The house has a washing machine.
Both kitchens are equipped with a toaster, a kettle, an espresso machine, an electric coffee maker, a stove, a blender... etc.
Casa Askanova is available for rent in various configurations:
1–5 people: First and second floors (but if the guest wishes, they may also rent the entire house.)
For 6 or more people: The entire house (first floor, first, and second floors)
If there are 5 or fewer guests, the Askanova apartment may be rented to another guest.
Casa Askanova is a 5-minute drive from La Calera Beach, a few minutes’ drive from the Valle Gran Rey Nature Reserve, and a 25-minute drive from Garajonay National Park. It is also the ideal starting point for hiking and active tourism.

Summary of reviewsAscanova is the right place to feel the authentic atmosphere of La Gomera. Celia, the owner, is very nice and helpful. Breakfast on the patio is fantastic, and there are many good restaurants nearby. Everything is reachable by foot. A great experience overall!

It was our first stay in Vueltas and we must say, Ascanova is the right place to feel the authentic athmosphere from La Gomera. The owner Celia is very nice and helpful. We hadn't any problems, only the kitchen was a little bit getting use to. But you can have breakfast on the fantastic patio and in the neighborhood are a lot of good and nice restaurants. You have only to ask Celia. Positive is also, that you can reach everything by feed. Even our daughter had nothing to complain about and that's saying all. That's the greatest compliment. We will come back!

The apartment is spacious, the lounge is of a useful size, the roof terrace is spacious, private and has sunshine for most of the day. In the language favoured by estate agents it is "quirky". Sometimes this is a good thing, it makes for an interesting property. In this case, the layout was certainly interesting but the kitchen appears to have been designed, if there was any design, to encourage trade for the local physiotherapists. Top tip: pack a crash helmet or two, because the low-level surround over the cooker presents an ever-present danger of a rather nasty head injury.The listing information is, to be frank, dishonest. There is not a second bathroom and the apartment lacks the additional bedroom that was listed. Also, as a native speaker of English, my understanding of the word "grounds" when applied to a property is the land that resides within the boundaries of the property. And the photo displayed of a local beauty spot does give the impression that this is part of the garden. It is not. Other grumbles: the hot water kettle was more-or-less useless (I reported this to Celia, but nothing was done about it). There is a leak from a water tank on the roof that drips onto a live electrical connection box and one of the seats on the roof terrace is not only damaged but has a number of rusty screws poking up ready to ensnare a hand, or thigh (it did and I still have the cut two weeks later).However, the location is very good and the place is clean.
