The Finca is situated in a nature reserve in rural countryside at the western edge of the lush Oratotava Valley, just below the little farming village of Tigaiga.  

The nearest beach is about 20 minutes walk away (5 minutes by car); but deep water swimming is not advised due to strong currents (but its good for surfing)There is a beautiful safe black sand beach and a fine sea swimming pool and lagoons designed by Cesar Manrique at Puerto de la Cruz (15 minutes by car), a large and safe yellow sand beach at Las Terisitas in the north-east, (about 1 hour by car), and a black sand beach at Icod in the west (20 minutes drive).

To the north-east of the farm (30 km) lies the Anaga Hills with good opportunities for walking along the coast , along barrancos(river beds), and on paths in ancient green laurisilver forests. This North -eastern part of the island is very unspoilt, with only a few small villages and no tourism or hotels. Likewise the Teno Hills offer unspoilt mountain walks in the southwest. (The main, over-developed and well-known tourism on the island is situated 50 km away in the more arid south).
