Villa Winter
Casa de los Winter
A mysterious villa in the Cofete wilderness, which has become the island's most talked-about building because of its German engineer owner and World War II legends.
Villa Winter was built in the 1940s by the German engineer Gustav Winter. It stands alone on the hillside above Cofete Beach, and around it circulate unverified legends of a Nazi secret base, a submarine resupply station and more. The villa is now looked after by a local family. For a small fee you can visit some of the rooms and the tower, which display photographs and old belongings. It is about a 10-minute walk from the small village near Cofete Beach, so you can visit it together with the beach.
