2 people, working for a week on the balcony overlooking the blue sea.
Great location, incredibly quiet, breathtaking view, very friendly, uncomplicated hosts
WLAN could be more stable and powerful (we worked in pairs, enough for Youtube or films) Kitchen could be a bit better equipped with "basic food"

Ideal.
The cleanliness, the equipment, the friendliness of the owners. I liked everything. My best rental to date.

Perfect for spending a few days in the center of Santa Cruz de la Palma
Comfortable bed, terrace with sea views, quiet area, parking next to the accommodation.
To improve, the hot water runs out very quickly.

Highly recommended! If we return to La Palma, then only with this host.
The personal contact with the host was exceptionally good. The owner was very helpful, service oriented (responsive to our wishes/needs), always available, supported us in planning, gave valuable advice, etc. In addition, the apartment is located in a quiet and picturesque location overlooking the sea. .
Perhaps a little uncomfortable for people with walking difficulties. The apartment is on a hill and can only be reached by stairs or a steep road. However, you can take a taxi from anywhere in the city right in front of your door for around 3 euros.

Beautiful island…, the most beautiful of all (Santa Cruz de la Palma)
I didn't have breakfast....and the location was a bit tricky....!
It had no air conditioning…., small for two small people…., there was no clothesline… and there was no table on the terrace….! The rest is very satisfactory.

Everything is fine

For reference, there is a steep climb from the beach to the apartment. Take into account for people with disabilities. But everything is great.

Enjoy your stay in Sta Cruz.
Great welcome from Rupert with many explanations. Rupert is always available and ready to help. Nice view of Sta Cruz and the harbour. Very quiet and clean house.
🤣In Sta Cruz always rises in price

Tranquility and relaxation 1 minute from the city center
Location and tranquility
The hot water in the shower runs out too early.

Special accommodation
The house itself as a whole is beautiful and cozy, of the Canarian type.
No hot water (due to staff oversight) for which they later apologized and reuse of wet washcloths and rags from previous guests.

Relaxation
Excellent location. Thomas is very cute!
There were some bugs in the kitchen. Some basic things were missing, such as oil, salt, napkins ...

Great camping holiday!
Cozy little apartment in the beautiful old town of Santa Cruz. An old house in a typical island style. It seemed practical to us that there were two floors. The table in front of the house was also very nice, where you could have breakfast in the morning. There was a tiny sun terrace upstairs which we didn't use because we always came back very late from our day hikes. The reception (handing over the private keys) of Mona was very pleasant, we got a lot of important information and she looked after us very closely via Whatsapp for a week and gave us a lot of good advice. The apartment has everything you need, we haven't missed anything. Very good value for money. Perfect for hiking! On the day of departure, we were able to leave our suitcases in a separate room under the apartment due to late departure (external bathroom where we could freshen up again).
Towels always smelled like mildew, even when not in use, as if they hadn't dried properly after washing. Hot water in the shower was not enough for two after a shower in a row. The path from the center to the upper city was a little difficult as it was very steep. You can theoretically take the 500 bus, but then you have to go up and down steep streets and stairs with suitcases. Since this would be extremely tedious, it is better to invest in a taxi. Caution! Do not leave open food in the kitchen, otherwise it will be inhabited by thousands of small critters (not ants, they are smaller, but just as annoying). It is best to put everything edible in the refrigerator.

Very good
The house is very nice, the area is very quiet and at the same time very close to the city center on foot. They also provided us with exclusive parking just outside the hotel. It has two very beautiful terraces where you can dine or have breakfast outside. The girl who runs the apartment is a real charm, she made us feel very comfortable and recommended many activities on La Palma.
The toaster was not working well, all the time it seemed that it was about to break.

Comfortable and beautiful apartment near the historic center
Nice, cozy, recently renovated apartment, beautiful terraces, quiet location, parking, good location and kindness of the owners. Good location, very close to the historic center.
Generally well equipped, but it would be nice to replenish glasses.

Pleasant
Connection
The bathroom is very small and the hot water runs out quickly. We were comfortable, but there were too many insects in the room (termites, ants, cockroaches), which, on the other hand, are present all over the island.

Rich in content
Great location, although a bit strenuous to get to as it is very high up on a hill. The view was amazing and quiet and nice area. The hosts were incredibly generous with tips and ability to make you feel welcome and special.
The location had its disadvantages as the accommodation was located very high with large differences in level. It meant that the planning of the stay had to be controlled a part of this but few trips to and from the accommodation.

it was good
The landlord is kind. For example, he made several suggestions about how to spend his time in Palma Island during his stay. The room has a first floor and a second floor, and the view from the second floor was good.
Mountains are approaching the coast, but there is no problem if you are a good walker. Even if you don't have confidence in your legs, going up is about 400 yen (3.2 euros) by taxi.

For two weeks, La Palma and Tenerife are definitely the best accommodations.
The owner greeted us very friendly and courteously and we immediately moved to the apartment. After inspecting the apartment, we also received some information about the old town, possible excursion destinations and hikes. The apartment, a restored traditional Canarian house, is lovingly furnished and well maintained, with a small rooftop terrace offering beautiful sea views. Perhaps this is especially interesting for visitors planning a longer stay: there is also a small laundry room that can be used at any time. We felt comfortable everywhere and were able to fully enjoy the time. We will definitely return and can only recommend accommodation.
Our stay was too short ^^

It is very practical and is located in one of the most charming areas of the historic center. Thomas was very kind to us from the first moment, no doubt to repeat.

It's okay, we'll be back soon
I liked the peculiarity of the house, the location, the terrace with a view, the kindness of Rupert, he also gave us a lot of information about places worth seeing. Private parking. I advise.

The only thing is that the hot water in the shower lasted only for a couple of minutes

Oh, how good it was, the stay in Santa Cruz. Perfectly located in the old town of Santa Cruz, in a small quiet side street, Casa Elvira has everything you need to feel completely at ease. The rooftop terrace invites you to look out over the sea and the city, and in front of the door there is a cozy place for morning coffee that I loved. At first glance, the casa does not seem so bright, but in the evening it has a surprisingly cozy atmosphere. The center of Santa Cruz is always within walking distance, the road home here is a little sporty, which burns a few calories, which brings with it a pleasant stay. The hosts are so amazingly warm and friendly, they are available anytime for solo travelers like me, an absolute plus. Thank you dear ones - Casa Elvira, I will definitely come back!

A beautiful island, cozy apartments and very friendly hosts; Decreased cleanliness and tranquility.
Friendly, helpful and attentive hosts. Charming house in the old part of town. Nice, partly quiet place with sea views. Great little roof terrace.
Few windows = little daylight. The apartment was not very clean (especially, probably, the floors had not been cleaned with wet cleaning for a long time). The kitchen equipment is pretty basic: no medium-sized frying pan, no bottle opener, no vegetable knife, no espresso cups. Despite the really quiet location away from the center and large streets, it was often quite noisy: noisy neighbors, the noise of ferry engines from the port (from about 22:00 until late at night!).
