The apartment consists of a living-room with balcony and barbecue, a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. Situated at around 800 metres above sea-level, there are panoramic views across the beautiful Orotava Valley, the spectacular Mt. Teide, and the forests that surround it. A regular bus will take you down to La Orotava or on to Puerto de la Cruz, and there are also good links from both towns across to the island's capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The local bus also goes up into the National Park where there are many lovely walks to be enjoyed. A hire car is recommended (not expensive over here) as there is so much to see, particularly in the north of the island, and there is a parking space outside the apartment. The National Park is stunning, and a trip up the volcano is a must. A cable-car will take you almost to the top, but if you want to conquer the summit you will have to apply for a permit online, but they are free - just book well in advance if possible. It is vital that you come prepared with sunscreen for trips up the mountain as the sun is very strong, even in the middle of winter!La Orotava is a 10 minute drive away, and there you will find plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. Supermarket prices are pretty reasonable and the produce is excellent quality. As well as the larger ones in the towns there is a small local shop a couple of kilometres down the road where you can pick up most items.I am happy recommend places to see, and there are also some particularly good local eateries that do fantastic Canarian food.
