Cottage vacation rentals in Puerto de la Cruz

Great accommodation, fabulous location and stunning views. This rural area is very quiet and with no light pollution clear night skies are just magical. Mostly the temperature this high up is lower than the coast but not always. The coast, which you can see from the terrace, is 20 minutes away by car. The house is modern and attention has been paid to the things that matter. A perfect base for us. The journey up from Arafo is steep for many kms and roads are narrow but often one-way. You do need google maps though – our rental car did not have a sat nav. We found the house in the dark and pouring rain. Juan was very helpful and responded very quickly. Without him we would have had real difficulties with replacing our car which had a puncture and no repair kit or locking nuts on board. Car rental company Record Go (via Opodo) was worse than useless. For organic fruit & veg: La Albahaca in Arafo and La Tajea in Mercado de Santa Cruz. For eggs: Juan’s hens! We will revisit. Loved it.

My boyfriend and I had such a lovely time staying here. The views are absolutely amazing, and the house is beautiful and rustic. The terrace is very spacious, and there is a little garden that attracts lots of little birds. The whole house is dreamy and surrounded by cute flowers and native plants. We loved using the log burner in the evenings, as it sometimes got quite chilly; this made it even more cosy and homely. Having a car is essential to stay here (and also to explore the rest of the island). There's a Lidl and Aldi nearby and plenty of great restaurants and beaches. Thank you so much for having us!

The place is so beautiful, the view is superb and the hospitality is exceptional. Perfect for discovering Tenerife!

Super great communication. The house is really very pretty and the view from the garden is breathtaking. The jacuzzi was the highlight. A car is absolutely necessary because the house is in the mountains. We were there in March and therefore it was a bit cool but due to the fireplace and air conditioning you could keep the house warm. We will be happy to come back.

The property is lovely and everything you need for relaxing getaway. We loved the outside area, Al fresco at its finest. Supermarket is situated at the bottom of the road, 5-10 minute walk. Puerto del La Cruz is only a 15 minute drive and playa El Bollullo is on 15 minute drive, bit of a walk down to the beach, but well worth it. also the restaurant at the top is lovely, with a great back drop. If you want a relaxing getaway away from the hussle and bussle, then this is the place for you. Wake up to beautiful views of Tiede and the sea. what more could you want. See you next time.

Steve’s Airbnb was exactly as described — beautiful, comfortable, and well-maintained. What made our stay truly great, though, was Steve himself. With years of experience in tourism and a deep knowledge of the island, he was incredibly helpful, offering great local tips and recommendations. When we had an issue with our rental car, he generously offered to give us lifts, which was a huge help! He even surprised us with a slice of his homemade cake! While we didn’t try his homemade breakfast and dinner menu, the food looked delicious, when we saw it passing by our Airbnb. Also every time we texted him with questions, he responded immediately, instantly reacting to our inquiries. Overall, a fantastic stay with an outstanding host. Highly recommend!

A nice house in a beautiful location, the garden, and the views of Tiede from it, are absolutely stunning. The house was clean and well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Maykel is responsive and answered any queries we had promptly. Highly recommended.

The place is beautiful, we have a beautiful view from the accommodation, the terrace. On the other hand, very strong climb to reach the place... Difficult to walk from there in view of the difference in altitude. The good thing is the fairly quick access (by car) to what is to see on the island. Nice little pool and jaccuzi! The bedding and towels available in quantity and very clean in general.

We had a great time here! The house is very close to nearby restaurants (2-4 minute walk), pools in the sea (20 minute walk) and has a nice view of the sea. The town itself is quiet and has everything you need, the nearby market offers all necessary things. We would definitely visit again!

A very quiet and private place. The place is great and Dorin is an amazing host. Will come back here!

Thanks to Robert for hosting us with the stove on. We had a small welcome gift waiting for us. The environment is particularly peaceful with beautiful views. We recommend it for anyone who loves tranquility and nature in an authentic place.

The cottage was perfect for our stay in Tenerife with a beautiful garden to enjoy outside with a very nice sea view. Lara and her family were very accommodating and kind. She was very responsive to our requests and gave us good restaurant recommendations. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

The accommodation exceeded our expectation. The view from top of the roof amazing, you have see vie at front on your side mountains and other side forest. Very peaceful place with lots of place to explore. the accommodation is fulfilled with everything you need starting from matches to washing liquid for clothes. Very fresh beddings with lots of fluffy blankets. Very good internet connection considering how high the house is based. Our family of 5 had planty of space. Owner very friendly and helpful. Top service, thank you so much.

We had a wonderful time in this spacious three-bedroom vacation home. It is well maintained and clean. In winter, you need warm clothes. Marta is a very good host, everything was ready when we arrived. In case of difficulties, she helped us a lot and was always very accessible. Thank you Marta. El Tanque is rather quiet and not a tourist spot. The vacation home is an ideal getaway if you want to avoid the tourist spots. Nevertheless, the northern beaches and villages are easily accessible by both car and bus. Highly recommended!

A fantastic host who responded quickly to all questions. The Finca is stunning and there is plenty of space for families. The Finca was spotlessly clean throughout. The pool is incredible and was the highlight of our stay. You need a car due to location and check in procedure. Quiet, peaceful and remote. An amazing stay - thank you.

Incredibly well equipped apartment with lovely finishing touches. Cozy and comfortable indoors and wonderful relaxing and well equipped outdoor area.

Really relaxing stay at the villa. Beautiful surroundings. Privacy and amenities were great. Cats a bonus! Thank you Carla:)

It was really something special in April! It is even more beautiful than in the photos and the huge property (former vineyard) is very well maintained and in a quiet location with great views from the mountains down to the sea. Spanish restaurants and a supermarket can be reached by car within a few minutes. Beautiful hiking trails are nearby. The house is equipped in the best possible way - everything was there. Even the fridge was stocked on arrival so that the first evening and morning were completely relaxed. Pool, basketball, soccer and even table tennis and table football in an extra room. There was even an extra grill house. It's just great and I recommend it! The host was super friendly and gave us the best possible support. Thank you very much for the great time!

We had a great stay in the house. It is very clean, tastefully decorated and functional. The terrace overlooks the tiede and the incredible valley! Only significant point that the house is difficult to access, very small two-way road and great slope. Do not go with a small car or a low car. But it offers a very peaceful secluded setting. hosts are very responsive and reachable when renting. Very much appreciated communication. I recommend it!

A very charming, beautifully furnished little cottage with breathtaking views of the Orotava Valley. It is clean and everything works (you have to let the water run longer until it gets warm). The owners are very friendly, helpful and communication works perfectly. The way up is steep but with a little experience also manageable with a small car (we had a VW Polo).

We had a wonderful stay in Macu's property. A perfect little house in a relaxing estate with a fabulous host. You are close to the town but in a lovely peaceful haven. We loved eating breakfast outside and gazing at the stars from the sun loungers. Macu gave some great recommendations for restaurants. What a great stay, we'd happily come back.

Olga is friendly, helpful and a very kind person! It was just perfect! The accomodation has everything you need! It was really beautiful and exactly what we searched and expected! :-) We would always recommend and will definetly come back.

It’s quite and amazing place among the nature, the most beautiful part is in the sky at night 😉

Great flat with fantastic views in a calm and secluded area. Beautiful garden with a very calm and clean pool. Only downside is in my opinion, that the location is not super easy to reach, but that might just be the price for having such a nice and calm environment.
