I had a great stay here in April 2025. The house is huge and very beautiful. The kitchen and working areas are great, and the rooftop views are spectacular!
A place to always return to, full of original details and unique pieces :)
Very cool old house with interesting nooks and decor. Loved the roofdeck and the back garden area, and the location is a great basecamp for bicycling Teide as I was training for a tour of Fuerteventura, and being in central Orotava was a treat. What made it really stand out was the friendliness and quality of the people. It was mostly a self-directed co-working experience, which worked fine as conversations led to spontaneous adventures like renting motorcycles and riding up and climbing Teide at 1:30 in the morning! Epic. The house stays cool, so I will make sure to bring my own slippers next time. The sauna is a really nice feature. It was never really crowded while I was there; if anything, there were fewer people working than I expected, but I also worked less than I thought I would as there is so much to do on the island. The roofdeck shaded work table was a great feature - pretty much perfect. Realistically, though, the hard part was saying bye to the people I met.
I had a wonderful time in the coliving. The two kitchens are super equipped, and there is enough space to cook. My room was very cozy, the shared bathroom clean, large, and stylish. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere with the other 'coworkers.' Coliving, I will come back!
We had a wonderful stay at the coliving during Christmas time. As our Airbnb was cancelled on the day we left home, we were very happy that we found the coliving. Ingolf quickly offered us a double room with an en-suite bathroom.
The town - La Orotava - is really cute, authentic, and a great place for trips around the island.
A huge plus was our community manager. Her warm and welcoming attitude really made us feel comfy. She even offered yoga sessions on the rooftop - amazing. Plus, she organized special get-togethers throughout the Christmas days.
We had luck with the people who were there this week, as we had a great group dynamic and could spend a great time together.
Con:
- The room and bathroom weren't cleaned during the week; this would have been nice.
- Some of the guests were really messy in the kitchen, to an extent where the kitchen was not clean enough to be used by anyone.
Very clean, extremely well furnished, and really great hosts. Whether you are looking for a vacation or for working, this is definitely the right place. There are so many spaces for quiet work, but also for relaxing. The location is nice, with many local shops nearby. Highly recommended!!
