Tacoronte is a municipality in the north of Tenerife, between the coast and the vineyards, far from the big resorts. People come here for the peace and quiet and the ocean views, with a heated pool away from the crowds. I've selected 3 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Villa with Ocean Views and Heated Pool (4.98/5).
