West Coast Tenerife, Spain Ben Hillman

Ben Hillman heads off to Tenerife to help former RAF serviceman Del and his wife Diane find the perfect holiday home to spend their winter months in the sun with their grown-up children and baby grandson. The couple particularly love the west coast of the island, where they have their sights set on a family-sized property with a pool for their £120,000 budget. Ben is flying high with five amazing options to show them, but will he earn full house hunting honours by finding them perfection?

About the area

Tenerife, which is the largest of the Canary Islands, takes about four and a half hours to get to from most UK airports – and then the west coast is less than half an hours drive away

Tenerife, which is known as the Island of Eternal Spring, is famous for its volcanic black sand beaches. It has a population of around one million, as well as an additional two million visitors each year, more than a third of whom are British! The west of the island is known for its rocky coastline, and even though it’s quieter and less developed than other parts, there’s still loads to do for lovers of sun, sea and black sand – with plenty of places to eat and drink as well.
