Located in the historic town of La Orotava, on the north cost of Tenerife, the Casa de los Balcones is an architectural treasure from the seventeenth century. 

Both its façade and interior are of extraordinary beauty, blending harmoniously with its urban surroundings.  It is one of the most important handicraft centres for embroidery in the Canarian Archipelago, besides being a learning centre, promoting and popularising this native handicraft. 

As one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tenerife, thousands of visitors enjoy the installations and products on sale each year.  The House of Balconies has received numerous prizes and awards for its educational work and popularisation of handicraft. 

The typical Canarian patio is highlighted by a large row of balconies on the top two floors enhanced by its exuberant tropical vegetation. 

Visitors are welcomed into the cool shady areas where the rich aromas and intense perfumes create a calm ambience with the blue Canarian sky visible through the leaves of the towering palm trees.
