Hotel Rural Casablanca was exactly what we were looking for for a quiet weekend away and we will definitely be returning.
On the slopes of the foothills of Teide and over looking the Valle of Orotava, the views are spectacular. If you look one way you look out over the sea and look the other way and you are faced with spectacular views of Mount Teide. The location couldn't be better.
Our room was huge with a very comfy bed and small terrace to sit out and enjoy the glorious flowers and sunshine. The bathroom was a great size and had everything we needed. The only disadvantage was the room was a little dark, but for the amount of time we spent in the room, this was not a problem.
Breakfast is more than sufficient, accompanied by wonderful canarian folk music, spectacular views and extremely friendly, smiley service.
The area is breathtaking and at this time of year, April, is bursting with flowers all over the island, accompanied by the most wonderful smells. The hotel is perfectly situated to enjoy La Orotava, Icod de los Vinos, Garachico, el Teide and Puerto de la Cruz but you will definitely need a car. Perfect routes close by for biking and some spectacular walking tracks too. We will be back!!!!!!
