Places with history: charming villages to visit from Las Casas Tenerife
Tenerife is much more than beaches and good weather. The island also hides among its mountains, ravines, and coasts a network of historic towns, full of tradition, colonial architecture, and vibrant culture. Places where time seems to stand still, and every street tells a story.
From Las Casas Tenerife, you can easily discover these authentic corners. Our luxurious holiday villas are strategically located so you can explore the soul of the island without sacrificing the comfort and privacy of your accommodation.
The experience: combining relaxation with authenticity
After a morning by the pool or breakfast in the sun at your villa, there’s nothing like going out to discover one of these charming towns. We propose a route to travel back in time, savour the local culture, and experience the true essence of Tenerife, away from the crowds.
All the towns we mention below are less than an hour's drive from our villas.
1. La Orotava
A true architectural treasure. With stately houses, carved wooden balconies, and cobblestone streets, La Orotava offers a direct trip to the 17th century. Don't miss the Victoria Gardens, the House of Balconies, and the Church of the Conception. Ideal for strolling, taking photos, and trying local pastries.
2. Garachico
A town that revived after a volcanic eruption in 1706. Today, it is one of the prettiest towns in Spain. It has natural pools (El Caletón), a castle by the sea, and a well-preserved historic centre. Perfect for a leisurely excursion with a gastronomic stop.
3. Icod de los Vinos
Famous for the Millennium Drago, one of the oldest trees in the world, this town is also known for its wine, volcanic caves, and historic centre. You can visit the Cueva del Viento, the Church of San Marcos, and its squares full of local life.

4. Vilaflor
The highest town in Spain. Surrounded by pines and vineyards, it is perfect for those seeking peace and nature. From here, hiking routes lead to the Teide National Park. It is also an excellent place to buy artisanal honey or high-altitude wines.
5. San Cristóbal de La Laguna
A UNESCO World Heritage City. Its colonial layout served as a model for many cities in Latin America. It is youthful, cultural, elegant, and full of history. Ideal for strolling, visiting museums, shopping, and enjoying its gastronomy.
From your home to the heart of Tenerife
At Las Casas Tenerife, you don’t just stay: you live the island from within. We can help you organise personalised cultural routes, with or without a guide, private transport, or even a prepared picnic to take away.
After a day exploring charming towns, nothing is better than returning to your luxury villa, taking a dip in the pool, dining outdoors, and sharing the day’s memories with those you love most.
Experience Tenerife with all five senses
