Finca Artista
Tenerife

In the sunny south of Tenerife, right on a picturesque mountainside covered in numerous palms and succulents, Carlo Forte has realised his life’s dream. On a 7,500 m² finca, the artist, who originates from Italy, has stylishly restored five farmhouses more than 200 years old and created from them a wonderful creative oasis of tranquillity and leisure for those seeking relaxation.

Here, the Casa Amarilla shines out in brilliant yellow between tall palms, orange, mango and papaya trees. The small antique farmhouse, one of four simply but stylishly designed holiday villas, is fitted with a double bed, its own kitchen and a bathroom.

The rustic property greets its visitors with wide-open windows.

Warm sunlight floods the house and inner courtyard well into the evening.
The Casa del Drago - this is the view from the house through the garden into the inner courtyard. Around the house and garden, you’ll find testimony of traditional Canaries rural culture.  A mill-wheel decorates the front door.

An interplay of light and shade, nature’s own drawings.  Those wishing to give colour and shape to their feelings in the Finca Artista are very welcome to pick up brushes and a palette in the artist’s house.
Between palms and natural stone walls, leisurely resting-places can be found on the finca.

Architecture and nature blend together harmoniously. Around the natural stone building, wild rosemary blooms. Along with it, Canary macchia with its compact shrubbery.

A pavilion intertwined with greenery provides shade.  Here, guests can enjoy the simplicity of this small, completely idyllic refuge.

The mediation house is an integral part of Finca Artista. Here, guests can find relaxation for body, mind and soul.  The doorway leads into a pentagonal room for group or individual activities.

The Far East inspires the atmosphere in the mediation house.  A place to rest, to breathe or to participate in spiritual experiences.

Guests experience the property’s rustic charm in all the houses on the finca. Not only has the artist realised his dream here, but he’s also achieved self-realisation.

Italian-born Carlo Forte, an internationally renowned painter who has a Ph.D. in politics, fell in love with Tenerife in 1976 and stayed there. His “Landscapes of the Soul” have since filled canvases with joy and colour.  His work meets with great response and admiration.  Carlo Forte will willingly act as a teacher to those trying to discover and bring alive their own creativity.
Everywhere on the Finca Artista you sense the unity of shape and colour and it is this particular stamp that gives the whole ensemble its incomparable charm and enchantment.

One last trademark: All houses and rooms are fitted to ecological building criteria.  The predominant materials are stone and wood, ceramic and linen. The gates are wide open here for a reviving and eventful stay.  The Finca Artista offers guests an incomparable experience for body, mind and soul.

The design of the interior is refreshingly simple yet there’s everything you need for your well-being.  A soft bed, cheerful colours, gentle light, a cosy corner to sit in, a bit of art and perhaps even a fire in the hearth …
