La Guajira

Everything was perfect, we arrived late and with no food to then be greeted by the host with food and drinks in the kitchen. Everything was 10/10 beautiful property with everything you’d ever need inside, pool and pool room were amazing. We didn’t rent a car and had no trouble getting around on buses to main areas. On our last day the host gave us a lift down to playa Honda and refused any money. This was my second trip abroad and it couldn’t have been any better. Would 100% return

The property is gorgeous, and far from the tourist traps. Car rental is recommended as you will need to drive to the shops from here, but it is a very short and convenient drive, you’re only about 25 minutes from the volcanic national park, about 5 minutes from all the grocery shops you could need, and about 10 minutes from numerous beaches, and about 10 minutes from museo césar manrique. The property has a lovely kitchen with all the equipment you’ll need for meals, the pool is lovely and gets the sun all day so you can enjoy tanning, and if you ever have any questions Alejandra is incredibly accommodating and helpful. I could have asked for a better week away to unwind and disconnect.

The host, Alejandra, was exceptionally helpful throughout our stay. The house was spacious and comfortable, with interesting art to enjoy throughout the home. The pool room was brilliant for relaxing and reading. It was very easy to reach the house from the airport, and it was easy to get to various attractions across the island by car (approx. 30 mins to the caves, the underground lake, and the Haria market; approx. 30 mins to the volcanic national park; approx. 25 mins to the cactus garden; approx. 15 mins to the Cesar Manrique foundation/museum; approx. 10 mins to large local supermarkets and a very helpful pharmacy; approx. 15 mins to Puerto del Carmon restaurants and nightlife). The house is in a lovely, quiet location tucked away from the busy tourist resorts, allowing for a peaceful break. There is a local shop just a few minutes walk away, and it even stocked some basic gluten-free items (bread, pasta, biscuits), which was a big bonus for us and an unexpected delight!

The owners were perfect hosts. Direct communication was easy and efficient. They were welcoming, and their hospitality was generous and friendly. We loved the cat too! Their house, converted from a very old farm, has tons of original features, tasteful decor, and is surprisingly spacious both inside and out.

The pictures of the villa do not do it justice, its a spacious property, well laid out, very comfortable and in a lovely quiet area in a typical small village. The overall feeling you get is that this is a home, and its so easy to relax and just enjoy the stay. The hosts are wonderful, very friendly, helpful, accommodating and gave some great tips on areas and restaurants to visit. The outdoor spaces were wonderful, relax by the pool/poolhouse during the day, BBQ are and also a fabulius sheldetred courtyard to sit out in the evening. Villa is clean, very well maintained, and has all you need to have a lovely relaxed holiday. Location is a great base to see the island and is a short drive from the airport. If you want a location thats a good base for driving around the island and a nice quiet family break, this is the place. Highly recommended!!

The house and everything that came with it was an absolute dream. The photos really do it justice and the property is even bigger than we thought. The house (and especially the kitchen) was very well equipped, which allowed to make proper meals every evening. The house is decorated with so much taste and care that it was hard to find one's favourite spot. The hosts were absolutely lovely and responsive as well. Any issues – large and small – were solved right away.
