Casona BIC La Orotava — Calle Nicandro González Borges
“A historic mansion right in La Orotava's old town — 722 m² across two floors with a 523 m² garden, ten bedrooms, a central courtyard, and a rooftop with views over the Atlantic. Officially listed as a heritage building. Currently running as a boutique guesthouse with the vacation rental licence already in place. Asking €1.425M is roughly fair for an old-town mansion of this size, but realistically the price would need to come down to around €1.09M to sell in normal time. This kind of property is slow to move — 18 to 24 months on the market is the rule, not the exception. The right buyer here is someone running a boutique hotel or buying for legacy, not a typical homeowner.”
The listing says 722 m², but the official tax record says 501 m² (+44% difference).
In Spain, three different numbers can disagree: the tax record, the deed, and the building as it actually stands. A 44% gap usually means an extension that was built without permission, an old record that was never updated after a renovation, or the listing simply exaggerating. Get the deed checked before you make an offer — the fair-value number we show uses the smaller, official figure to be safe.
