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 booked for 10 days at the start of August 2017. This was the first time to the island and we were looking for a relaxing private retreat to explore Gran Canaria from. We certainly found it! The accommodation, facilities and location were exceptional. The scenery is spectacular and it certainly lives up to the description of a sunny valley. The images on the website really do not do this location justice, its just stunning! Although the weather was very hot there is enough sunny and shaded areas in the property to suit all needs, and of course the lovely pool is always a great option! My teenage kids (17 and 13) certainly found loads to do, from sun bathing, exploring the hills, the pool, BBQ and making pizza in the outdoor oven. This was the perfect holiday in the perfect location. A special thanks to those that looked after us while we stayed at the property, nothing was too much trouble, always friendly and it made for a super relaxing time. As soon as we got back home we were planning our next visit!!!!!
