Casa Canaria Tradicional Rosalía

Such a lovely house in a small town. A nice garden, many flowers, palmtrees, green spots to relax. A small piece of heaven!

The kitchen in a seperate part of the house is unconventionel, but not bad.

Very nice rooms and renovated bathrooms

Amazing stay, above expectations. The house is beautiful and very cosy and peaceful. Its a very authentic countryside house, renovated, equiped with all necessary facilities but keeping its original charm. We loved to wake up with the sound of birds singing and having breakfast on the patio with the view to the garden and the ocean. Whenever we are back in Tenerife, I would love to be able to stay again in this house:)

Charming house but with serious health and safety issues. Because of this, the property is neither safe or comfortable. The electricity cuts out regularly and you will need to go out in the dark and climb to reach the power box. The power is so weak that it cannot sustain electricity even for a tiny heater of 220V without anything else on ( lights or plugs). If you want to have a few lights on (which is necessary as you need to pass through the outside yard to get into the bedroom or kitchen, expect the power to keep shutting down. There are exposed plugs next to water sources. The plugs are so old they often let out electrical sparks when you plug something on. So lights and power are inconsistent and it’s not possible to have heating in this old mountain house in winter. Hot water stops after a few minutes. The entrance to the house by car is very narrow and on a hill so a bigger car would have issues getting in.

The owners are well aware of the house’s defects but they don’t do anything. There are more complaints about the electricity, heating and hot water issues in the comments for this house, which the owners don’t want to act upon. One evening when i had to go outside in the dark to switch on the power after it cut out i fell on the stones and hurt my arms and legs. I told the owners and they didn’t show the slightest of care. One of them was aggressive to me and started shouting to me when i tried to talk to her in person about it. Also the owners came a couple of times into the house without warning, so there is lack privacy and respect for the guests.

Everything was wonderful, the place had everything we needed. It was so quiet and peaceful. The views were gorgeous and the outside patio was perfect for BBQs and relaxing. The hosts were amazing and super responsive. I would highly recommend this location if you’re looking for a quiet spot, up in the mountains. Overall amazing!!

Exceptional property. Peaceful, comfortable, private. Beautiful garden and views. Very spacious. All you could need. A brand new bathroom with wonderful shower. Thoughtful touches in the house and on arrival. A place to escape to.

I’m not sure if it is under new management but I would have preferred communication in advance of arrival details as I only got them as I arrived at the airport in Tenerife - and I didn’t have access to wifi or phone reception after this. We ran out of gas on the penultimate day and the spare canister was also empty. There was wifi but we only found out afterwards as we were not given the code in advance. The instructions in the house need updating. No apologies offered for any inconvenience. This should not put you off from staying here as I’m sure they can be easily fixed!

Location, peace and quiet and the house is very traditional and authentic.

It needs more heating in Winter. We had a very cold week and needed more than one heater

Lovely stay as Casa Rosalia! Hosts were very communicative and late check-in was easy the night we arrived. The location of the house is amazing, tucked in a valley near Garachicho. Quite steep roads getting to the property and narrow streets, but if you are visiting north Tenerife you have to get used to this quickly! Peaceful location perfect to sit out and enjoy the terrace and cook outside using the outdoor oven. Property itself was clean, characterful and full of everything you need for a homestay inc fully equipped kitchen. We stayed in January, so it was a bit colder than in the south, especially higher up above sea level. Heaters and blankets were provided :). Location for exploring the North of Tenerife is good, especially the North West (Teno, Masca and Garachico, Icod), most within 40 minute drive :). Might be worth noting for other travellers that Teide is a fairly long drive as the two access roads up into the Caldera are a drive east or south before you can start going up!

Little to no issues - the keys were a bit fiddly in some of the doors but it is an old house! Driveway is tight, we had a small hatchback and dinged it slightly on one of the rocks - bigger car I imagine would be difficult to turn around/reverse in, once in though there is a decent flat space to park given the house is on a steep hill :)

Beautiful traditional rural house, very cozy, excellent location for hiking 👍 A bit cold in winter because the isolation is not very good, but with the heater it's fine 👌
