It's in the Stars

It's in the Stars: Canary Islands

Go off-grid for a while at this swoon-worthy casa perched amidst the hills of the charming town of Tejeda. Outside, this home may look like a traditional Finca. But step inside, and there’s nothing twee about this stylish abode. Creative types will love the boho feel about this place. Rustic, natural hues provide a subtle backdrop to those architectural picture windows, revealing blue skies and far-reaching mountains landscapes. Pad out across the cool wooden floors onto the sun terrace with your morning coffee. Come together for alfresco lunches beneath the dappled sun peeking through the bougainvillea vines. Cool off from the midday sun in the shared infinity pool. Or feel anew beneath the outdoor shower. Wherever you choose to while away the time, those views will be right there. As night draws in and the lights of nearby Tejeda begin to twinkle, take a seat beside the outdoor fire pit and prepare to be dazzled as a blanket of stars engulf the sky. And despite its tranquil setting, you’re closer to the action than you think. The charming town of Tejeda is just ten minutes on foot, with its traditional restaurants and the sublime pastry shop, Dulceria Nublo (prepare to join a queue). Or for something a little more adrenaline-pumping, there’s ecotours and rock climbing aplenty close by. Though it’s highly likely, you may never want to leave this place.
