Casa Marcos

Casa Marcos is located in the village of Agulo on the north coast of La Gomera in the Canary Islands.

The holiday home sits in the centre of the village while still feeling quiet and private — a wonderfully secluded piece of accommodation in La Gomera that gives guests the best of both worlds.

La Gomera itself is often affectionately called “El Bombón de La Gomera”, meaning the “sweet jewel” of the Canary Islands.
