Villa La Palma

In summary

This designer villa in La Palma is perched as graceful as a butterfly on a steep slope looking out over the Atlantic. The luxury property’s two floors are connected by an outside staircase. You can book the Panorama floor and enjoy the peaceful intimacy of this light and airy area. If you are spending your holiday with children, friends or parents, you can double the size of your private retreat to 200 sqm by booking the Ground Floor too. Tranquillity and privacy are guaranteed - the property is only ever rented out to one party at a time.
Designed by renowned Berlin architects Kazanski Keilhacker Urban Design Architektur, the property resembles a three-dimensional sculpture. The diamond-shaped sections of the roof are modelled on the wings of a butterfly and provide welcome shade on the sunny South-facing side, while on the Northern side a slatted wall transforms the wind into a gentle breeze.


Indoors

Bathed in sunlight, the top floor of Gran Atlantico has floor-length windows. The lounge area is equipped with prestigious designer furniture – from Saarinen to Jacobsen, from Lissoni to Starck.

Outdoors

The view from the sweeping terraced grounds over the lush green hills to the sea are spectacular. From the villa you will understand at once why the island of La Palma is also known as “La isla bonita“ - the beautiful island - and why UNESCO declared it a biosphere reserve more than 10 years ago.
7,000 sqm of the island are exclusively reserved for the residents of the house with its lovingly landscaped gardens, solar-heated pool with pavilion, dining area for 8 beneath a pergola and any number of perfect spots from which to enjoy glorious sunsets. And when the sun goes down the grounds are illuminated by lights located in the pool and in various green niches around the gardens.

11 x 4 m pool, pool house, sun loungers, 4 spacious terraces, barbecue
 
There is a reliable WiFi network and two yoga mats on which to do your sun salutations.

Location

Villa La Palma is located in an idyllic, tranquil location 5 minutes drive from Puntagorda in the mild and sunny Western part of the island of La Palma. In the village you will find all the everyday necessities and amenities: several supermarkets, an organic food shop with local fruit and vegetables, banks and restaurants. Every Saturday and Sunday a farmer`s market is held within walking distance of the house.

Puntagorda´s little harbor can be reached by car in 10 minutes, the nearest sandy beach (Tazacorte) is a 30-minute drive away.

Puntagorda is an ideal starting point for hiking tours – either starting directly at the house or in the scenic landscape of the Northern part of La Palma. You might also want to visit the vibrant Los Llanos with its shops, restaurants, cafés and art galleries.


Note

The house can be rented with only the Panorama floor (2 bedrooms - 4 pax) 
But the configuration is a bedroom with a double bed and a bedroom with a twin bed. So it's more suitable for a couple with 2 kids. 
The whole villa can be rented for a total occupancy of 6 adults and 2 kids.
