Jardin de la Paz

One of the loveliest places we have stayed. An oasis on the side of a western facing cliff in the north of Tenerife and with about 12 houses and bungalows each with stunning views and private gardens. A car is essential as there’s little to do nearby (only one restaurant in walking distance and that has mixed reviews, including from me). But Puerto De La Cruz and the capital, Santa Cruz De Tenerife are only 30 minutes away. We ate at the property most evenings so lovely was the garden, the view, and the sunsets. We could not recommend it more warmly.

Jardin de la Paz is quietly situated near Matanza on the Tenerife north coast. The suite and the gardens are immaculate. Two beautiful pools. Complementary sauna. Great for a quiet, romantic getaway or a base for lots of fabulous hiking.

A beautiful setting, clean and comfortable accommodation, exceptionally helpful and obliging personnel. Breakfasts to suit all tastes and appetites. Strongly recommend renting a car when staying here. Nearest bus-stop is about one mile away.

Loved our stay at Casita Buena Vista, Jardin de la Paz! We don’t like big corporate, hotels, so the unique quaintness here suited us; peaceful, beautiful gardens and views! Buena Vista has a luxury, large bathroom! We loved the spa bath after our hikes, the overhead led star lights were sweet! You could indeed see stars from the bed, through the skylight!! And the house keeping staff, gardening, reception are all friendly and unobtrusive. The breakfast served for €18/20 was fabulous! Sit inside or outside with great sea views and also a view of Teide! Eggs (or bacon) cooked to your liking (I liked the omelette), a great choice of fruit, yoghurt, pastries, salads and canapé surprises. We also enjoyed our own breakfasts and some evening meals on our private terrace (with two sun beds, two chairs and table and sea view). We used the pools a few times - always had to ourselves- maybe because in January the water is colder, but once you’re in, it’s refreshing! The sunsets here are amazing. A couple of times we took a bottle of wine to the breakfast/dining area to watch the full sunset.

Jardín de La Paz is truly a garden of peace! We came here in March to enjoy our babymoon and were super happy with our stay. We booked the wonderful Casa Buenavista that is elegantly furnished, has privacy and offers a spectacular look on the ocean as well as a glass roof to watch the stars. A handwritten note in our apartment was the personal touch that showed us from the very first second that this was gonna be an amazing vacation. The whole resort is very well taken care of and makes you wanna enjoy the garden and pool. The other guests were very quiet and friendly as well. Staff was super welcoming and accommodating, the breakfast offers a great variety and the terrace invites you to enjoy those first warm sun rays while sipping on your coffee. Our hosts even remembered our coffee preferences for breakfast and gave us wonderful recommendations for sightseeing and exploration. When I got sick on one of the days they noticed we hadn’t been there for breakfast - they politely checked on us and brought us a great breakfast selection to our room. Because of my pregnancy we couldn’t use the sauna but the view was marvelous - we’ll definitely enjoy it next time! The only downside is we didn’t book more days. We’ll definitely be back. Don’t forget to book the picknick basket for your excursion - the perfect snacks and drinks for an afternoon at the beach!
