La Palma
Canary Islands
Looking for a quality holiday home to rent in La Palma, Canary Islands?
A country house ideal for a walking holiday, hiking or simply relaxing?
Self-catering accommodation with incredible sea views?
La Casita is all of these -
a rural cottage in the most beautiful and unspoilt part of the island
Hello and welcome
Here I hope to give you all the information you need about the 'little house' we offer for rent,
together with its surrounding area of Franceses and the island of La Palma
We think it is somewhere simply special
Built well over 100 years ago from natural resources - stone and heart wood - La Casita is a little piece of history with a special atmosphere. Now beautifully restored, this house is available to rent.

Located on a finca in the rural north of the island and attached to the main farmhouse, La Casita is the perfect self-catering accommodation on La Palma for both relaxing holidays and energetic walking holidays alike.
La Casita has an unrivaled panoramic view over the sea which is just a 12 minute drive away, yet is surrounded by beautiful and unspoilt countryside with an abundance of walking trails. It's in a place where time seems to have stood still - no mass tourism, no industry - just local people tending their land and animals or sitting on the village seat catching up on news.
And yet it is only 25 minutes by car from the small town of Barlovento with its shops and ameneties and has an excellent bus service.
