Tucked away in serene seclusion on the western slopes of La Palma, the charming holiday home El Topo offers a unique blend of nature, comfort, and privacy. Located at around 900 meters above sea level, at the end of a private road in Topo del Drago, just above Puntagorda, this lovingly designed hideaway is ideal for hikers, nature lovers, digital nomads, and anyone seeking a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Surrounded by pine forests and open skies, El Topo provides stunning panoramic views of the sea and surrounding mountains, and is a perfect base for exploring the island on foot, with hiking trails starting right at your doorstep – including routes toward El Fayal or even up to the island’s highest peak, the Roque de los Muchachos.
A Comfortable & Colorful Home with Soul
The interior of El Topo is bright, modern, and cozy, with carefully selected furnishings and personal touches throughout. The open-plan living and dining area features a wood-burning fireplace, a comfortable sofa and armchair, and a large dining table for six. Each room is uniquely painted and decorated in matching tones, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The well-equipped kitchenette includes a ceramic hob, oven, fridge/freezer, coffee maker, toaster, hand blender, citrus juicer, and more – ideal for cooking your favorite meals while enjoying the peace and quiet of the surroundings.
The main bedroom offers a queen-size bed (1.60 x 2.00 m) and a flat-screen satellite TV. A second small living room can be converted into an additional bedroom for up to two children, thanks to a pull-out chaise lounge sofa (1.40 x 2.00 m) and a large wardrobe. A cozy pitched roof adds character to the space. The house also features a modern bathroom with shower/WC.
Wi-Fi is provided via WiMAX connection (4 Mbps down / 1 Mbps up) – suitable for emails, browsing, and video calls, making El Topo a great choice for remote workers and digital nomads.

Outdoor Living with Views to Remember
The private outdoor space is just as inviting as the interior. A wraparound terrace, a small garden, and a gravel patio offer several sunny or shaded spots to relax and take in the breathtaking scenery. The covered barbecue area with a large dining table and sink is perfect for al fresco meals. You’ll also find a mobile outdoor shower, sun loungers, a parasol, and an additional seating area with a table and chairs for four.
The driveway to the house is steep, so a rental car with higher ground clearance (e.g. Fiat Panda or similar) is essential. A gated entrance secures the property, and parking is available directly on the plot.
Just a short drive away is the charming village of Puntagorda, known for its weekly farmers’ market, where you can shop for fresh, local produce and handmade goods.
