Papaya Cottage Punta del Hidalgo La Azócar

The cottage and gardens were fabulous and the hosts couldnt have been more helpful

You need a car, you are a drive from anything, so couldnt pop to the bar in the evening and had to drive to the shops. North of the island is much more overcast than the south due to the volcano.

Very nice, clean and modern apartment with friendly hosts who gave us great recommendations for hikes and places to see :)

The apartment is a bit difficult to find and reach by car in the beginning. But it gets easier ;)

We had an amazing stay here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, nature-focused getaway. The two rental tiny houses are located right next to the owner's home, set in a beautiful garden. Both houses are tastefully decorated with stylish IKEA furniture and are fully equipped, especially the kitchen – we had everything we needed. The bed was incredibly large and unbelievably comfortable – one of the best we’ve ever slept in! Victor, the host, was warm, welcoming, and always happy to help. He even has an adorable little puppy that made our stay even more delightful! Victor personally recommended great hiking spots and local sights, and even provided laundry detergent so we could wash our clothes. The surrounding area is much more suited to hiking than swimming. The local beach was nearly empty, and the weather stayed windy and cloudy for all four days of our stay – but we actually enjoyed the calm, peaceful atmosphere that came with it. One thing to be aware of: if you're arriving with a larger car, the narrow, uphill street after turning off the main road requires some extra attention, as does pulling into the property itself. It’s manageable, just worth knowing in advance. Also, in the listing photos, the two rental houses are shown side by side with interior views – so they both have just one room. All in all, a perfect stay – especially if you're looking to disconnect, hike, and relax in a beautiful setting with a fantastic host.

Amazingly beautiful please and very nice hosts! Must visit!

Great area for hikes in beautiful surroundings. Nice and attentive hosts. Absolutely recommended!

Papaya Cottage is an absolute gem! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and falling asleep to the soothing sound of the ocean was pure bliss. The location is perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape—far from tourist crowds, yet within walking distance to restaurants. The cottage itself is beautifully designed, extremely clean, and feels like a little oasis. The owners were amazing, making the entire experience even more special. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax and recharge in a stunning setting!

Wonderful place! Excellent, modern apartment with beautiful terrace. Calm yet close to the sea and excellent hiking tracks

Host seems nice, gave a tips what to do, left fruits for us.

But here are things, we would appreciate to know before booking. 1- That washing machine is communal. Technically there is a washing machine, but it can be a quest to use it. So if you need it straightaway, it can be a problem for you. It’s near to the second cottage so you need to go out from home and go there. One time it was locked and we had no keys… So could wash only next morning. Not very pleasant when you don’t have too much clothes to change especially after a hike. 2- Hard to ventilate cause when we opened one window in the bathroom with closed door during the day, there appeared lizards.. I am afraid of them so couldn’t normally sleep at night.. One night I found lizard’ excrements on the night table 😭 If you ventilate during evening, there appeares various insects from the street.
