We try to be as fair as possible for both you and ourselves with regards to cancellations as we understand sometimes plans can change.

You can cancel and receive a 100% refund as long as you cancel at least 28 days prior to your check-in date.

For cancellations under these periods, there will be a refund only if the room is managed to be booked again. In any case, please let us know if your plans change as soon as possible and we can try to accommodate it.

In either case, please note there is a 3% card processing fee by Stripe which is non-refundable.

7 nights.

We do appreciate that some people would like to try the coliving experience before committing to a longer period. However, almost everybody staying one week wishes they had stayed longer. Also we have a 25% discount for stays of 28 days or longer. We also believe this is the minimum time needed to really experience the coliving at the right pace and enjoy all the activities it has to offer.

Yes. Although there is a bus stop 15 min away by foot, there is a steep hill to walk up and down and so we do recommend having a car rental. In any case, Tenerife is an island best explored by car no matter where you stay.

Having said that it is a coliving, so the general vibe is to share and explore together. Let us know if you want to be put in contact with other guests staying during your dates to discuss sharing car rentals together.

In short, Yes. There is usually a mix of people who rent cars and others who prefer not to. This usually results in people organising trips together to discover the island as well as going on more practical trips to the groceries etc. This obviously varies month to month and cannot be guaranteed, only encouraged.

CICAR is the most popular amongst our guests. They have a very large fleet of new cars, have a great service and usually offer these at the best rates. They have offices in both north and south airports as well as in the nearby town of Puerto de la Cruz.

Tenerife North "Los Rodeos" Airport is a 15min drive.

Tenerife South "Reina Sofia" Airport is a 1H drive.

The nearest bus stop (Cuesta de la Villa bus stop) is approximately 15 min walk downhill from the coliving and uphill on the way back. It is considered quite often steep so please be mindful of this. On the other hand we have one of the best views of the island from the coliving thanks to this! From the bus stop it is a 5min ride to La Orotava bus station which is a hub from which you can go pretty much anywhere on the island.

Take one of the direct buses to Puerto de la Cruz. Getting off at the La Paz Botanic Garden stop you will find a taxi stop. From there it's a 5 minute ride. Under 8 euros.

Our favorite local beach is Playa de los Patos. This is a wild volcanic black sand beach. As with most beaches of this sort in the Canaries, nudism is allowed but not compulsory. It is a five min drive away, followed by a 10 min walk. It's perfect for a mid-day work break! There are other beaches close to it, mainly El Ancón or El Bollullo. There are other beaches 10/15min drive away which are more easily accessible as you can park right next to them.

There are three main supermarkets (Mercadona, Hyperdino and Lidl) within a five minute drive from the coliving in the town of Santa Ursula. There are two grocery trips a week which you are welcome to join during your stay. There is also a little corner shop 10min walk away.

The coliving offers two lovely meals, prepared by us each week: a Dinner on Mondays and a Brunch on Fridays, where all colivers meet and plan the weekly shenanigans. The rest of the meals are organized individually by each person, although many times the crew organizes BBQs and other meals between them.

Yes, there are plastic, glass and cardboard containers.
