Cottage vacation rentals in El Portezuelo

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!

Outstanding location with absolutely mesmerising views !! Away from the cluttered cities surrounded by vineyards I would highly recommend for those seeking a getaway in Tenerife. The places has not only views to offer , fully equipped with all sorts of amenities that one would ever wish for. Ellen is a great host very responsive and helpful. I would definitely be coming back for more !!!

We had a wonderful stay at in La Florida and would definitely recommend for a relaxing holiday away. The house and gardens were exactly as shown in the photos and a wonderful place to relax. We really enjoyed the wood burning hot tub, we purchased additional wood from the Repsol garage. The drive to the house was steep but very manageable for a confident driver. Initially we were given keys to only one of the apartments however as this had two single beds we requested the keys to the second place as this had a double bed and Susana was very accommodating in providing these.

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.

Nos sentimos como en casa, buena ubicación, zona tranquila con un guachinche cerca buenísimo. Tienes muchos senderos para hacer cerca de la casa. La casa en general estaba perfecta, muy limpia y ordenada. El jacuzzi era perfecto para relajarnos y estaba en muy buen estado. Sábanas y toallas muy limpias y las camas muy cómodas. Lo único que tienes que aparcar a varios metros de la casa porque justo en frente suele estar un coche del vecino, pero de resto todo genial. Solo tuvimos un problema con el horno que no funcionaba porque saltaban las palancas, pero ya lo comunicamos para que lo solucionen para próximas estancias. Lo que más nos gustó es que nos permitió quedarnos el último día hasta tarde porque no tenía reservas y eso es todo un detalle por parte del anfitrión que muy pocos hacen. De resto todo perfecto. Muchas gracias Aldo por tu amabilidad, sin duda volveremos a repetir. Un abrazo.

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!

wir haben uns sehr gefreut diese Oase gefunden und gebucht zu haben 🌞 wunderschöne Finca mit allem was dazu gehört incl toller Gastgeber. super Lage und grandioser Ausblick im Garten. da bucht man gerne wieder 👍

We wanted to disconnect from everything and that's exactly what we got here. It's such a little hidden gem, very private, the BBQ & pool areas are a touch with views looking down towards the Atlantic! Literally an 8 minute drive up through La Guancha and you are in the forest, I can recommend Casa de la Pradera easy terrain, our dogs loved it. A few hundred meters up the road and you come to Bodega Viñatigo very nice wines. The host Lara is very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely go back.

Die Wohnung ist sehr schön, sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet – viele schöne Details! 😊 Maribel war super aufmerksam und jederzeit erreichbar. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

The host Maria is great, always helpful, super friendly and sweet with our kids. We had a great stay in the house and enjoyed the view over the bay and the banana plantation. Maria also provided us with a whole load of freshly harvested bananas which tasted amazing. Totally recommended place.

Wir waren schon zum zweiten Mal bei José und es hat uns wieder sehr gut gefallen. Die Unterkunft ist sehr ruhig und idyllisch im Dorf gelegen. Morgens wird man vom Vogelgezwitscher im Mangobaum geweckt und nachts hört man das Meer unten in der Bucht rauschen. Man sollte bloß bedenken, dass man immer einiges an Treppen bis zur oberhalb gelegenen Straße zurücklegen muss, wo man parken kann bzw. der Bus fährt. José ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir hoffen, dass es nicht unser letzter Urlaub hier war :)

Great space in the mountains with lots of local trails around the horse sanctuary. Easy communications and check in. Eloy, who looks after the animals was great and was able to help us with fresh wood for the fire. If you want peace and quiet in the countryside it’s a great location.

Amazing! We loved our stay and our one year old loved the animals and the huge beautiful back yard!

Der Urlaub in der Unterkunft war sehr schön. Die Wohnung entspricht komplett dem Inserat. Sie ist relativ neu und es fehlt einem an nichts. Die Kommunikation erfolgte bei uns nur mit dem Co-Host Carlos, der sich einige Tage vor der Anreise bei uns gemeldet hat und unser erster Ansprechpartner war. Er war super nett und immer erreichbar und hat uns viele Tips und Empfehlungen für gegeben.

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.

Un alojamiento espectacular, mejor de lo que pensaba, detalles como carbón para la barbacoa o una botella de vino me pareció muy significativo, la casita con todo lo necesario y más para estar como en casa, Belén siempre atenta y muy amable, sin duda volveremos

Die Unterkunft ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bestens ausgestattet. Bei der Ankunft wurde uns alles ausführlich und freundlich erklärt. Die Zufahrt ist etwas holprig, aber durchaus gut machbar und der Parkplatz war direkt vor der Haustür. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Sergej hat uns persönlich begrüßt und sich sehr um unsere Zufriedenheit bemüht. Die Kommunikation mit ihm war schnell und effektiv. Das Haus ist alt und voller kleiner Details und die Küche mit allem Ausgestattet was benötigt wird. Der Garten lädt zum Verweilen ein und die Aussicht ist atemberaubend.

Le logement est impeccable. Vue superbe de toute les pièces. BellesTerrasses. Francisco est très sympathique et communiquant même si cela était compliqué du fait que nous ne parlons pas du tout espagnol. Bref rien a redire. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir si nous revenons à Tenerife.

Nous avons adoré sejourner dans la maison de victor, au fond d'une allée privée. Le jardin est son atout principal, un véritable havre de paix avec plein de petits recoins dans lesquels se reposer (hamacs, tables, bancs...). La vue sur la baie de Los Realejos/ Puerto de la cruz est superbe. La maison est agréable, la literie est bonne et la cuisine est assez bien équipée. Les jours de pluie, elle peut etre assez humide. On peut garer la voiture dans l'allée, ce qui est très pratique car la rue est étroite et pentue.

Dit huis is fantastisch; heel fijn klein zwembadje in prachtig onderhouden tuin. Communicatie verliep vlekkeloos. Als je van de natuur houdt is het echt een hele mooie uitvalsbasis. Heel fijn is de buitenkeuken. De huispoes is aandoenlijk. Bananen kan je van de boom plukken. Vogels (ook bijzondere) in overvloed. De foto’s en beschrijving van het huis en de tuin doen geen recht hoe het er is. Het is allemaal veel leuker en groter. Echt een parel! Iets minder is de omgeving en de drukke weg onder het huis. Verder heb je wel een auto nodig voor het bezoeken van wat leukere plekjes. Maar een volgende keer zou ik weer voor deze plek kiezen. Reuze dank, je was een fantastische gastheer met hele lieve ouders!
