Reviews

When Hilary and I started on this journey to restore the house next door I don’t think either of us knew what we’d let ourselves in for. Those who know us from the UK know we tended to throw all we had into giving the best to our customers, we ran a small garden centre and cafe/restaurant. It was fraught dealing with builders etc in a language you are not very good, and dealing with covid just added to the fun but now that the work has been completed we can put our energies into giving our guests a great holiday.

We love meeting our guests and have welcomed them from 23 countries to date.

We are proud of the fact that we have over 65 reviews on AirBnB and all are 5 stars, making us one of their top 1% of properties worldwide. We are also on Plumguide.com which say they only take properties in the top 2%. The only area we don’t score 100% is location because if you want the bright lights, noise and attractions of the south it is a 1hr drive away.

Instead of a list of reviews I suggest you go to AirBnB to look us up. Don’t forget it’s cheaper to book direct and we do have appropriate insurance on Casa Vina.

					  Hilary and Andrew are wonderful hosts of a wonderful property. We have never stayed anywhere quite as beautiful as this. The views are incredible, the gardens are stunning and the... read more facilities meant that we felt we never needed to leave the property. They have thought of everything which made our stay very special. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

					  The place is as beautiful, if not more so, than in the pictures. Hilary and Andrew are amazing hosts and made us feel right at home. To have the kitchen... read more preloaded with amenities was a really nice touch. Hilary even baked us a lovely cake! The pool is nice and the hottub is perfect for chilly evenings.

All in all, we highly recommend the place and it offered way more than we could have reasonably asked for.

					  Casa Vina is a truly special experience.  Hilary and Andrew are fabulous hosts - warm, welcoming and endlessly helpful.  

The villa is extremely comfortable and fully... read more equipped with anything and everything you could possibly need.  There are so many thoughtful touches;  freshly baked cake waiting for us on arrival, the 'welcome pack' that fed us for days, excellent wifi that kept even teenagers happy, portable speakers that were continually moved from hot tub to pool to bedrooms and bathrooms, shopping bags, adaptor plus, bedside lamps with phone charging points, blankets for the evening chill, proper drying racks, a really good coffee machine and let's not forget the pizza oven!  

The gardens are a delight - a collection of spaces to cook, eat, lounge, swim, chat, read and just relax.  Each individual area is beautifully designed and together they really are something very special.   

The villa is tucked away in the hills above La Orotava, wonderfully peaceful but only a short drive (or taxi ride) to many beaches, bars and restaurants.  We had a great week; went to the beach, ate out at several local restaurants and even visited the volcano but honestly, the villa was so lovely, we spent the majority of our time there,  just relaxing and unwinding.  We cannot recommend it highly enough and we will definitely be back.
