Finca Franceses encompasses 8,000sq meters of land which includes a traditional Canarian Farmhouse dating back to the 19th century. The surroundings are tranquil and serene with a picture perfect backdrop.

Included within the Finca there is a lovely Canarian Cottage which sleeps 2/4 people - Please visit La Casita for further information.

Located in an extension to the farmhouse, is the Franceses B&B apartment. Originally built around 1920, this sub building has recently been restored and provides: A twin bedded room with private bathroom en suite, and a small hallway which leads from the private entrance.

Directly opposite the apartment there is a large open-style farmhouse kitchen, here a full breakfast is served daily to visitors. Guests are also welcome to use the full catering facilities to prepare their own meals in the evening, including the charcoal BBQ. This is a cosy area with a log burner for the cooler evenings.

A little further along the 'street' there is a small bodega which forms an important and historical part of the finca. This was the original kitchen to the farmhouse where meals were cooked over an open fire.

Guests are welcome to use:

This cosy, unique and atmospheric Bodega building for candlelit evenings, a game of cards, or perhaps play the guitar or Canarian timple which hang from the stone walls. This is also where you can sample genuine La Palma wine from the different regions around the island.

Guests of the bed and breakfast accommodation have their own exclusive seating area, with twin cast iron/wooden seats and table. This gives a bird's eye view over the north coast and to the little pirate village of El Tablado to the west. The seating area is backed by drago trees and overlooks the terraces of the finca and ornamental gardens with various cacti.

Green features include:

A 12000 litre water tank which collects rain and spring water to irrigate the agricultural land on the finca, namely fruit trees and vegetables.

Recycling of glass, aluminium, plastic, etc., is actively encouraged with dedicated containers for this purpose.

Six friendly chickens happily lay eggs for breakfast, they are often encouraged by freshly picked greens or a kind word!

Two Trek Navigator bikes are readily available for the active and adventurous guests. A reliable two hourly bus service point is situated close to the finca.

Local Points of interets:

An embroidery workshop is located just 50 metres away from the accommodation, where you can actually see products being made lovingly (and time-consumingly!) by hand. Also nearby every weekend a local market is held. Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings in Puntagorda visitors often go along to purchase local food produce and hand made crafts.

The Route of Kings, (GR130 road route) circles around the island and passes close to the finca. Guests can easily join the route simply by walking down the donkey path at the side of the finca. In the north, the route travels along ancient paths through forgotten villages and rugged ravines.

Finca Franceses is an outstandingly beautiful location, ideal for:

Romantic Breaks, Peaceful and Relaxing Holidays and for Active Getaways!
