Pension Silene Orotava

Everything: kindness of the host, cleanness, breakfast, location, view etc

Welcoming family atmosphere in this historical building right in the historical center of La Orotova. Our room was nice and quiet, with a beautiful terrace overlooking the garden. We especially appreciated the rich, decadent breakfast with ever-changing local ingredients (es. eggs and tomatoes from the weekly farmers’ market, local cheese and yogurt). The owners are extremely nice and helpful. Strongly recommended for the awesome price-quality ratio!

An absolutely stunning place. A score of 10 wouldn’t do it justice — even 100 wouldn’t be enough. A beautifully restored historic mansion in the heart of La Orotava, on one of the most charming old streets. We had an amazing room with a loft-style bed upstairs, a separate bathroom and toilet (both inside our apartment), and a breathtaking terrace overlooking the old tiled rooftops, the town, and the ocean. The common areas are decorated in an elegant, museum-like style with antique furniture and a cozy library. The hosts personally greet you and also prepare a small but refined breakfast served in vintage porcelain cups — with great coffee! It’s all simply magical, like something out of a fairytale. This is the kind of place you’ll definitely want to return to and recommend to your friends. I read a few negative reviews and was honestly surprised. Sure, sometimes you might not be able to park directly in front of the house and need to walk a bit — but try parking for free in the historic center of any European city! And yes, the bed is on a mezzanine level — but believe it or not, historic mansions don’t come with elevators from the living room to the bed. If that’s a problem, maybe book a presidential suite at the Hilton and bring porters from the parking lot. Huge thanks to the hosts for preserving history and architecture with such care. Brilliant! pS: Just one small suggestion — it would have been great to have a couple of glasses in the room, so we could sit on the terrace, drink some water, and not bother the hosts (though it’s possible we simply didn’t notice them and they were actually there)

Antonio and his wife are very friendly. They both a beautiful big house with a big courtyard in the middle. The room, shower and bed is very comfortable and I even had a very large terrace with views to Puerto de la Cruz and the sea. The area Orotava where the pension is is also very beautiful. So stay one night more to walk around and enjoy where you are🙏🏻🍀❣️

the staff is very nice and helpful. The breakfast is modest but delicious and interesting. We had a selection of Canarian cheeses, fruit, bread and sweet pastries, homemade jam and coffee. Breakfast is not a buffet but is prepared separately for each room. The room was clean and tidy every day. The accommodation is located in the city center. I personally prefer more quiet places, especially when we had a car and spent virtually no time in the city center, but that is a matter of personal preference.
