Accommodation
The interior of the house has a large living room and a fully glazed dining room with beautiful views that immerse you in nature. This space is ideal to relax, read, or maintain pleasant conversations. Also, if you want to be connected, you can do it through the wifi network of the house.
On the upper floor, there are two double rooms and two single rooms, all with wooden floors and sloping ceilings, with two bathrooms fully equipped with towels, toiletries, and a hairdryer.
The exterior of the house is so nice that it invites you to go outdoors. As soon as you enter the farm, you will find the pool, built on the formerly viewpoint of the house, where you can dive in and enjoy the best views of the environment. Surrounded by trees and hammocks, you can find the yoga room with a capacity for 10 people, fully glazed so you never stop feeling in nature.
In addition, while you walk around the outside of the house, you will find a shaded porch, a sun-dried terrace, an open-air kitchen, or the organic vegetable garden, all of them ready for you to spend great moments enjoying the sun, the company of others or having a little privacy for yourself.

Retreat location
La Tejana is located on 1,000 square meters of land. It was built at the end of the 19th century. The house is made of stone, beams of tea, and wood of Riga, with a roof that preserves the old Canary tile that was used 180 years ago in the initial construction. The environment has pleasant meeting spaces with different environments both indoors and outdoors that facilitate meetings, friendship, and a relaxed atmosphere, becoming an ideal place whether you decide to spend your holidays alone or accompanied.
In La Tejana, they are very committed to the environment. Looking to have the least impact on the ecosystem. In the Canary Islands, there are almost half of the species of endemic flora in Spain and a large number of animal species that have the same condition. It is for this reason that they follow some rules that allow them to live in harmony with the natural environment.
