On the cliffs of Nazaret with breathtaking views over the valley, hangs the famous "Casa Omar Sharif", which was conceived by Cesar Manrique in the early 70`s, to be occupied by the well-known actor. 

The legend goes that while filming on the island, he lost the property in a bridge game and never returned. Instead the house was used as stage for films with other stars as Peter Ustinov and Horst Franck. 

This unique house, built into the volcanic rock left visible inside many rooms, is surrounded by magical gardens, with caves, tunnels and secret passages which transport you into "The 1001 nights". 

In this marvellous setting are nested two guest cottages available for seasonal rentals, which enjoy the use of tennis courts and a small private pool plus the added facilities of the property.
