Casa Bencomo fuses contemporary architecture, designer furniture, and luxury interior design inspired by the modernist masters of the 20th century.
Situated in Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s bourgeois neighbourhood El Barrio de los Hoteles-Pino de Oro which is known for its eclectic 19th and 20th-century architecture and renowned urban park Parque Garcia Sanabria.
Constructed in 1930 and fully restored in 2018, this three-story luxury home rental townhouse blends indoor and outdoor living spaces and transmits a feeling of serenity with high-end design in harmony with the home’s original modernist architecture.
Casa Bencomo showcases designer furniture pieces by Arne Jacobsen, Pastoe, Mornernica and Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni.
The house
The elegance of the Casa Bencomo is defined by its balance of clean lines, natural light that pours through and the high-quality natural materials use to create its timeless beauty.
The luxury of the house is evident in every detail: from the Dornbracht taps to the original Tezzarro stone staircase with teak railing.
Original works of art, designer furniture and period pieces give this house an originality and elegance difficult to find elsewhere.
Ground floor
Step into Casa Bencomo and the first thing you will notice is the original modernist staircase that curves up all three stories of the home. The asymmetric teak wood curved bannister reinforces the elegant aesthetic of this 20th-century modernist luxury home rental. Sunlight floods the entrance from the solarium on the roof terrace.
Concrete flooring runs through the ground floor of the home contrasting with the stark white walls and high ceilings and original Terrazzo stone staircase.

The local area - Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Casa Bencomo is situated in one of the most privileged areas of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, El Barrio de los Hoteles-Pino de Oro.
Adored for its historical architecture, you can trace the work of architects such as Mariano Estanga, Manuel de Cámara, Antonio Pintor Ocete, Domingo Pisaca, José Blasco, José Enrique Marrero Regalado and Miguel Martín-Fernández de la Torre.
Walk 50 meters down the road and you will arrive at the impressive Parque García Sanabria, the largest urban park in the Canary Islands. The park staged the International Exhibition of Street Sculpture in 1973 and thirteen of the sculptures still adorn the park. Parque García Sanabria was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in the Canary Islands in 2016. Enjoy a glass of Tenerife wine in Strasse Park bar and terrace, which is located in the middle of the park.
Casa Bencomo is in walking distance of many of Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s finest restaurants, including Restaurante Aborigen Cocina de Archipiélago, Noi, Etéreo by Pedro Nel, Kazan (Michelin 2020), Nielsen, Sagrario, Solana (Michelin 2020), Jaxana and El Aguarde Restaurante.
There is a lot to explore in Santa Cruz de Tenerife for history and art lovers.
TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes is worth a visit to admire the building itself. The design, by Swiss architects Herzog and Meuron along with Virgilio Gutiérrez from the Canary Islands, focuses on a series of diagonal elements so that the public space penetrates the building and converges in the courtyard. TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes displays exhibitions by local and international artists, there is an independent cinema that shows films on the weekend and a public art library with free WiFi and a study area.
We also recommend a visit to MUNA Museo de Naturaleza y Arqueología, where you can learn about the history of Tenerife and its aboriginal Guanche people. We recommend lunch in the restaurant Mues.ca, el Gastro del MUNA.
