About us
A place to feel at home – away from the hotel blocks.
Villa Rosalva is not a hotel but a personally run retreat above Puerto de la Cruz – amid banana plantations, with views of the sea and Teide.
Our idea
This dream can come true
You dream of the ‘island of eternal spring’ – but not of mass tourism and huge hotel blocks? Then you have come to the right place.
In our holiday houses, apartments and suites (Vivienda Vacacional) you can enjoy a holiday that is entirely your own. Our service is pleasant and unobtrusive – with no rigid schedules or formal etiquette. Relaxing and varied holiday days included.
Our host Ursula has lived on the island for many years, welcomes every guest personally and always has a good tip for your excursions.
What makes us special
Small, personal, with lots of heart
Personally run
A warm welcome, short distances, genuine hospitality – you are a guest, not a room number.
Garden & pool
A large, lovingly tended garden with a pool heated all year round and an outdoor kitchen.
Quiet location with a view
Among banana plantations, with views of the sea and Teide – yet just a 15-minute walk to the centre.
Breakfast on request
A generous breakfast buffet or fresh bread-roll delivery – just as you wish.
Pets welcome
Travelling with your dog or cat? You are very welcome. Cats and an older dog live on the property too.
Open all year round
From three nights – whether a winter escape, spring in February or summer on the Atlantic.
