Our eco-friendly La Tanquilla is located in the southwest of Tenerife at 750 meters above sea level in the small mountain village of Aripe, near Guia de Isora. Mass tourism is rare here. Several hiking trails start directly from the house.
Our site was lovingly built and planted by the previous owners in the traditional Canarian style, with many small details, and exudes beauty, peace, and tranquility. It is the perfect location for a relaxing holiday surrounded by nature. At night, you won't hear a thing except for the occasional dog, and it is also very quiet during the day.
We are environmentally friendly. The water is heated by solar panels during the summer months. Most of the wastewater is used to water the fruit trees. Therefore, we only use ecological soaps, detergents, and dishwashing liquids. We have a small, entirely organically managed fruit and vegetable garden.
We try to avoid plastic and prefer to buy local products directly from the producer or at the market. We are happy to share our sources with our guests.
The furnishings and everyday objects in the house are mostly made of wood or metal; many are secondhand.
We have a very good relationship with our (mostly Canarian) neighbors in the village, and active contact with the local community is important to us.
The current residents of the other (non-guest) half of the house are Krisztina (Hungary) and Michael (Italy) with their children Allison and Vincent. The family lovingly and attentively cares for the house, garden, and, of course, the guests. As the homeowner, I am in constant contact with Krisztina and Michael and continue to ensure compliance with ecological standards.

A beautiful house surrounded by nature! We woke up in the morning to the sound of the rooster and the birds chirping. We had the house all to ourselves, with a bedroom, living room, kitchen, and a beautiful terrace. The welcome and support were excellent! They gave us advice and helped us when we had a flat tire; they were wonderful. We definitely want to return!

We spent five days with our three children (10, 8, and 3 years old) at Casa La Tanquilla over Easter and felt very comfortable there. The trampoline in the garden, the covered terrace, and the short hikes directly from the accommodation made our time there very entertaining. A game of darts at the Aripe bar is also worthwhile. Sebastien and Eugenia, who live right next door and were our local contacts, made us feel like we were staying with friends. The tranquility of the place did the rest to help us relax completely. We highly recommend La Tanquilla to people who value ambiance, nature, tranquility, and sustainability.

Very good for us. We were able to dine every evening at the table d'hôtes, with excellent vegetarian cuisine that allowed me to overcome my food intolerances.
This is the ONLY Ecobnb that I found in my research on Tenerife.
The rooftop terrace was great and the environment was incredibly calm and serene, just 20 minutes from the beaches.
Sébastien, our host, was lovely and efficient in satisfying our little requests.
A place to remember.

We had a lovely relaxing time in Casa Rural La tanquilla. The hosts Eugenia and Sebastian were very friendly and we have been very well looked after by them. They even prepared a nice vegetarian supper at our arrival, since we arrived a bit late in the evening. The house is big and cosy, the area is very peaceful and relaxing, there are several tracks behind the house to go hiking in the nature. That's exactly what we needed to disconnect . We highly recommend this place if you want to evade from the daily routine. Thanks for everything Eugenia and Sebastian. See you next time!

We had a great week at Barbara and Chetan's! The house is surrounded by greenery and is very quiet. We really liked the old walls of the beautifully renovated house. Surrounded by an enchanted garden and a great view of the sea, we can only recommend the accommodation. Chetan and Barbara are two warm hosts and were always there for us when we had questions. A special highlight was a treatment with Barbara in her small but nice therapy room. A very special experience!
We'd love to come back :)

The accomondation from Barbara is placed in a small village in the mountains. The atmosphere is amazing and you can start hiking right at the house. The owners offer fresh herhs for cooking and teas.
There is plenty of room and a nice roof deck where you can relax or make yoga etc.
There is a very warm, helpful and welcomig atmosphere. It was a great stay for a time out and we had respectful discussions about very different topics.
Thanks for a great stay!

So much more than just an accommodation... Very friendly hosts from Germany welcomed & informed us well. To get there, a car and good driving is absolutely recommended.
La Tanqilla is a small house connected to the host's house but without interference. Everything is tiny in size, but well equipped and thought through. We had the impression to stay in a real Canarian house off the beaten track but still close enough to shops, beaches and sights on Teneriffa.
The kitchen, for example, was the best-equipped one in matters of cooking utensils and quality. Some expect it as standard, but having travelled a lot and stayed in many apartments on the canary islands, we know it is not standard. The filtered water makes a huge difference. We were allowed to enjoy the garden and our kids the trampoline. The hosts' son befriended quickly with our older daughter. I can imagine that she will remember their adventures through the fruit garden and the adjacent mountain trails forever!
