Finca Alfurinet’s remoteness will appeal to the adventurous tourist. The finca is set in the rolling hills north of the island and has stunning views. You will have total privacy and no noisy neighbours to worry about. The animals and tractors were certainly a big hit with the little ones in our party.
The farm is largely described as per the website and well equipped however it is a little run down and some parts of the main farmhouse require a bit of tlc. The pool is well maintained and a godsend as we hit a very hot spell. Antonia comes in daily and is delightful, very helpful (nothing was ever too much) and a good cook, a real asset to the property.
Our biggest gripe was that we booked the Finca believing that it had air conditioning as described under Amenities. It does but only in 2 of the 7 bedrooms. We would not have booked had we known it was limited to only two bedrooms in the house. This did impact most of our party and made for some very uncomfortable nights sleep albeit it there were fans in all the rooms without air con. One night 2 bedrooms lost electricity which made them unusable as no fans with temperatures in the mid 30’s inside during the night.
Activities - there is provision of equipment for a number of activities. Having said that, the bicycles were dirty and poorly maintained, some unusable. The canoes have to be dragged a long way to the very rocky beach and are quite major challenge to launch from the private beach. However once in, we really enjoyed using them.
Overall, a beautifully remote farm house with some big positives and we did enjoy ourselves.
