A holiday villa Tenerife alteration and renovation without resulting in tears.
A holiday villa Tenerife needn't necessarily be built from sratch. I once met a couple who had purchased an old, come down farmstead consisting of 3 buildings which is often found on fincas (rural property or farmsteads ) in Tenerife.. After a few years of building alterations they could call it a beautiful holiday villa Tenerife.
How did they cope with building restrictions for houses in Tenerife? They built a high wall facing the street where nobody could object that the look of their holiday home would show up as a violation of keeping with the historical look of the village. Walls cannot just be built for that purpose in a town but, in the country it may be possible. Anyway, the German couple tackled alterations of their dream of a holiday villa Tenerife almost by the book. They "renovated" 3 small buildings by joining them with a mixture of very modern and olden days' flair which is so typical for North Tenerife architecture where only modern glass sliding doors were placed facing a garden in the back. They were preserving the look of all other sides of the buildings by Canary Island traditional standards. They found old, well preserved wooden window frames and doors that had been discarded with the help of local people who also could be trusted with the work. Had the villa not been out in the country it would have cost them double for the changes. Please, mind when thinking of investing in Tenerife that renovations are sometimes more expensive than new constructions.
Woodwork is part of Tenerife custom and must be preserved in renovations.The German couple was lucky to find elderly artisans with traditional construction and carpentry skills which were happy to comply. I remember a couple of wooden small bay sash windows where their local carpenter enclosed a boxlike wooden bench with matching timber. Yes, the renovation result of the holiday villa Tenerife of the German couple is indeed remarkable.
When word of such loving care of traditional details gets around in the village no town Mayor will nit pick on little 'reformas' (building alteration) sins. The German people have set an example of goodwill and great taste to apply to Tenerife rules and regulations with their renovations.
In this holiday villa Tenerife the traditional joints hands with modern sculptures inside and out and, where abstract paintings and local handy craft mix in decor. This shows what can be done with houses in Tenerife. So far, they are happy to use their rural villa whose address I will not give for safety purpose as their holiday home in Tenerife.
