Most historical facts of Hacienda Los Principes

The land expropriation for the finca Tenerife of Principes from King Mencey Bencomo of the Guanches was accepted as normal procedure during colonizations in the 15th century. Later, the finca was dubbed as farm of the Princes (principes). This happened after a successful marriage arrangement with one of mainland Spain's princes and the daughter of the finca's first owner. This was Adelantado de Lugo the conqueror of Tenerife. The finca only became less lucrative, when its sugar cane cultivation had to be stopped.

The same happened all over Tenerife Island. Smaller estates were easier to adapt to the wind of change. Return to fincas in Tenerife to learn how many of them became ideal Tenerife property investment for the holiday home in Tenerife and for many another purpose.

Use Finca de los Principes for making a movie

By the way at the end of October 2011, 200 m2 of luxury accommodation of the Finca de los Principes which included garden were advertised online for rental. Name and address of the famous estate were not published. However, one very unique feature gave it away. It wasn't advertised as a holiday home in Tenerife, but for long term. A good part seems to have been lovingly restored to judge by the interior photos which were in the Internet. Indeed, the owners were asking a price, which it deserves. Certainly, agents are in charge of the letting. I have not contacted them. Therefore, I would rather not give away more information here, such as the rental price.

Actually, this genuine old place would lend itself well for filming a television documentary or some movie.
