About Us – Away From Rain

Hello, I'm Richard

I started Away From Rain in 2013, while I was living in Costa Adeje. Today, my small team and I help guests from all over the UK find lovely holiday apartments in Tenerife South – and many of them come back to us year after year.

How it all started

“All of us love the island, and nothing makes us happier than seeing our guests leave with big smiles – and then come back again.”

Richard

  1. 2013

    It started with a favour

    I was living in Costa Adeje when a work colleague mentioned he had a few holiday apartments he was struggling to find guests for. I offered to help. It worked out well – and I really enjoyed it.

  2. 2013–2017

    Getting to know the island

    Over the next few years, I got to know many local owners and agencies with beautiful holiday apartments to rent. I started matching them with guests – choosing only apartments I'd be happy to stay in myself.

  3. 2017

    A team on the island

    In 2017 I moved back to mainland Europe, but Away From Rain carried on. To keep the apartments, the cleaning and the service just right, we have a small team in Tenerife who love what they do. They welcome our guests and look after them throughout their stay.

  4. Today

    Still small, still personal

    We look after guests from all over the UK and beyond, across Costa Adeje and the rest of Tenerife South. I still answer your messages myself, and many of our guests have been coming back for years – for us, that's the best reward there is.

What you can expect from us

  • Apartments we'd stay in ourselves

    We only work with apartments we're proud of – clean, comfortable and well looked after.

  • A real person, start to finish

    I answer your messages myself, and our local team meet you at the apartment and are on hand throughout your stay. No call centres, no chasing.

  • Honest, simple pricing

    The price we quote is the price you pay, with no extra fees or hidden charges. A 30–40% deposit secures your booking, and the rest is paid when you arrive.

  • Your booking is safe with us

    Cancelling a booking is something we almost never do – just 0.3% of all bookings ever made with us. If it ever happens, we'll help you find an alternative.
