Privately owned by Terry and Fliss who fell in love with this beautiful luxury apartment with sea view, 312 El Marques Palace is located in pretty gated gardens with a large heated swimming pool (and children’s pool) part of the 5 Star El Marques Palace complex. The slow-paced lifestyle and friendliness of the people in the village simply drew them in. Just two minutes walk from the shops and restaurants in this peaceful area where there’s still masses to do and see. Sun drenched Los Gigantes, in the warmer South West of the island, is highly regarded as one of the most superior and relaxing places to stay in Tenerife (TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM BUSY LAS AMERICAS!!) A five minute stroll takes you to the virtually deserted sandy beach in the horseshoe-shaped Puerto Santiago cove where you can watch your supper being unloaded from the fishing boats bobbing at anchor further out in the bay.

Accessibility
El Marques Palace has 2 lifts within the complex and it is possible to access the apartment without climbing any stairs. Sadly not adapted for wheelchair users.
Outside
Large heated swimming pool and childrens pool. Masses of sunbeds and umbrellas at the pool surround, pool bar (where barbecues are held and snacks and drinks available during the day). Very pretty gated gardens full of hibiscus and bourganvilla. The apartment has a very spacious and sunny private balcony with sun loungers, parasol, dining table and chairs, if you are just too relaxed to go anywhere, which overlooks the pool and has sea views.
Gorgeous secluded rooftop solarium with amazing views of sea, island of La Gomera and Los Gigantes (the cliffs). This is a perfect spot for serious sun worshippers as it is bathed in sunlight all day long.
Coast/Beach
Fantastic coast walks along rugged and dramatic shoreline. Many spots to rest and gaze in wonder, 'watering holes' and and excellent ice cream 'oasis'. The volcanic (black sand) beach of Los Gigantes is approx 10 minutes walk away with the horsehoe shaped Puerto Santiago bay and beach slightly nearer in the opposite direction, overlooked by the Fisherman's Inn, fantastic food, stunning views of the sun setting romantically over the island of La Gomera. Playa La Arena beach also nearby.
Golf
There are a number of quality golf courses within 35 minutes drive, to suit all standards of play. An LPGA tour event was held at the Abama course, 15 minutes away. Terry played recently at the
Travel
Tenerife South airport (Reina Sofia) is 45 minutes drive away. Car hire from the airport is convenient and inexpensive. Taxis are plentiful and there are at least 2 companies offering a minibus service to the resort. Please just ask us. We are VERY happy to help you arrange transport. Car not necessary when staying at 312 El Marques Palace as restaurants, shops, beach are strolling distance, but we tend to hire one so that we can pop to magnificent Mount Teide 3/4 of an hour away - gorgeous!
Distances
El Marques is set in an elevated position with a 10 minute walk down the sweeping hill into the village of Los Gigantes (for those less able on their pins it costs approximately 3 Euros each way by one of the excellent local taxis). Alternately, there is a dramatic walk along the rugged coast which takes you into the heart of the village.
Puerto Santiago is less than 5 minutes stroll away.
Further details
There is an excellent local selection of restaurants, supermarkets and shops. Supermarket just 10 paces from the garden gate. Very clean and well stocked and they will deliver - free!! Central Los Gigantes boasts a traditional style plaza with a church. The church holds both Catholic and Anglican church services which welcome visitors (see the notice board for details) and is worth a visit if only to admire the paintings and sculpture. The owner's sport obsessed son found Highland Paddy's Bar where live English soccer games are shown plus other notable sporting events. So you can live it up or just chill out. Considering the tiny size of the village there really is something for everyone. Further afield, the Aquapark and Loro Park attractions are about 40 minutes drive away. There are excursions available to majestic Mount Teide in the dramatic national park in the centre of the island (only 45 minutes away through beautiful pine forests) or trips to the mysterious island of La Gomera (listen out for the famous whistling language!).

Guest comments
'Many thanks for the wonderful 10 days we had at EMP. One of our best holidays to date. The apartment is lovely, as is the complex: safe, lovely pool and views'
' We just wanted to thank you for the use of your apartment at EMP. The apartment is lovely and we had a great time. The staff at EMP are very helpful and friendly and the whole complex is extremely clean and tidy. The weather was good and we visited some wonderful places. El Teide was well worth a visit and we hope that should we visit the island again we will actually be able to get to the top!... thank you for all your help and assistance and we hope to be able to stay at your apartment again in the future'

Fliss and Terry in sunny Casa Felicidad garden!!!
About the owner
We run a successful self catering holiday business, Barlings Barn, Mid-Wales, UK, which we set up 26 years ago after buying and restoring a ruined barn and 18C farmhouse in these beautiful hills. We have applied the same principles and high standards overseas, so we hope you will feel cossetted and comfy, yet totally at home on holiday. The space and facilities we found inside the properties bowled us over and persuaded us that this was somewhere we could enjoy happy holidays ourselves and offer something very special to our guests. Many of them return time after time to our sunny apartments and escape the chilly weather. We hope you have a fabulously relaxing holiday and love the places as much as we do. Kindest regards. Terry and Felicity - owners.

Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Terry and I love this place. It's peaceful, yet there's plenty to do. There's a very relaxed safe feel to the area, the weather is wonderful year round and the people very friendly. There is a lovely 'village' community spirit. The pretty church in the plaza is very welcoming (two of our guests were married there and honeymooned in our apartment). Because Los Gigantes is small, you soon get to recognise folk in the shops and restaurants, unlike the large impersonal resorts. We bought 312 El Marques Palace because one February I'd been suffering very badly from asthma. We booked a holiday and said just take us somewhere peaceful and warm - they dropped us into Los Gigantes and my incessant coughing stopped within two hours! 312 is beautiful apartment - full of light and sunshine.
Unique benefits of the property
Staying at 312 El Marques is so easy. Incredibly convenient for grocery shop, 10 paces from the gate - and they'll deliver. Easy walking distance to two beaches, restaurants, bars. This is a gated community with fantastic facilities; huge heated swimming pools, loads of sun loungers, tennis, bowls, all spotlessly clean. The beautifully maintained apartment is bathed in sunshine from dawn to dusk, unlike some properties down in the village who don't see the sun until late morning and don't enjoy the fabulous sunset views that we are privileged to witness daily. Olives and wine on the spacious balcony to salute the sunset are a must! Very helpful, English speaking staff at Reception will assist with anything to make your holiday just perfect. Good selection of books, to relax with.
