Cottage vacation rentals in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

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!

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.

The Villa was absolutely beautiful, a pleasure to return to after a day out and perfect for 5 adults and a 2 year old. The Villa was spotless and there was plenty of linen for a two week stay. There is everything you can wish for in the Villa. There is a lovely pool on site, cold water but refreshing on a warm day. The Villa is within easy reach of two Supermarkets and shops and a five minute walk to the regular Adeje Market. An 8 minute walk will bring you to the delightful beaches of Del Duque. The host is super responsive, all in all a great place to be.

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.

We had a wonderful week staying at Jonathan’s place. Enjoyed the hours spent in the hot tub with a wonderful view. You will need a car, but highly recommended.

Rita’s place was wonderful with mountain hiking just a few blocks away. The house was well stocked and there was ample room for five adults. The main room has a vaulted ceiling which makes it feel spacious. Laundry is in a seperate building attached to main house. Love the setting of the property and the path by the farm next door. Teguste is a wonderful little place to visit during the holidays and anytime!

We had a lovely time at Kaya’s house. The view is amazing. The house is very private with quiet surroundings. It contains all of the amenities. The little town is within walking distance where there are restaurants, a bakery, and a grocery store. We highly recommend it!

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.

Thank you so much Nieves for sharing your home with us. We had an amazing stay, and loved every minute exploring this beautiful island. The house is so comfortable, homely, very well equipped and absolutely spotless. A little tricky to find the house, but that was the fault of google maps! Such a lovely touch with the offering of fresh homegrown fruit and fresh eggs, absolutely delicious. I highly recommend Nieves house and would love to stay again.

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

Had a wonderful stay at Casa Verde, it really is a lovely house in the most beautiful location. The view has to be seen to be believed. There is seclusion but you are still only 5 minutes from the LP-1 road and access to the rest of the island. In April the pool was cool but warm enough in the afternoon if the sun is out. Neida was a fantastic host, very friendly and responded quickly to any questions. I would 100% recommend staying here.

Ideal home for a family of 4. Great situation to get to know the Anaga area. Impeccably clean and very well equipped. The owner is very responsive and helpful. A bottle of wine was waiting for us in the house, eggs from their chickens, fruit, coffee... Excellent! If we ever go back to Tenerife we will try to make it at this place!

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

We were very happy with our stay and the help we received from Chelo.

Beautiful place, view of the sea, the Teide and the forest but be warned, the place is isolated, there is a forest path to take with a suitable car, 2 chains close the path, the path is bumpy and steep. We had the disappointment of a car race the day after our arrival which forced us to leave the car 10/15 minutes walk with a 5-year-old child, this upset our organization, despite the host's sympathy, being warned the morning of our arrival, arriving in the middle of the night in a white zone (no network) and having to adapt to this race was a disappointment. The house was exactly what we were looking for despite rudimentary equipment (little dishes, no dishwasher, no oven) Nice fireplace and barbecue Some beach toys provided at our request for our son for his greatest happiness There are one or two neighbors anyway The island is really very beautiful and the location is ideally central.

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.

Great accommodation in beautiful countryside. Communication was excellent and we felt very comfortable. Glad to come back!

If what you are looking for is tranquility and rest, this accommodation is a very good option, it is located away from the most touristy areas, in a natural environment. We were very kindly welcomed by Antonio who gave us good recommendations and was always very attentive to what we might need.

Carlos and Cynthia are incredibly kind and welcoming—it truly feels like home. The chickens roaming freely around the garden add such a charming touch, and the view is absolutely stunning. They even lent us warm clothes for our hike up El Teide, which was so helpful and thoughtful. Highly recommend!

We had a great time at Pedro's place. The apartment was clean, in a good location and had a good view of the sea. Communication was also perfect and we got a quick answer to all questions. We would definitely come back ☺️
