Hello, I'm Richard
Since 2013, my small team and I have been helping guests find lovely private holiday apartments in Tenerife South – mostly in Costa Adeje, which we know inside out.
We're an online business, so there's no high-street office to visit. But you'll never be dealing with a faceless website. I answer your messages myself, and our local team in Tenerife meet you at the apartment, are on hand during your stay, and see you off when you leave.
Plenty of our guests come back year after year – and that's what we're proudest of.

How booking works

Tell us your dates
Let us know when you'd like to come, how many of you there are and anything that matters to you – a pool, a sea view, a ground-floor apartment.
- 2

We'll send you apartments that suit you, with photos and the full price – no extra fees or hidden charges.
- 3

- 4
Arrive and relax
We meet you at the apartment, show you around and answer any questions. The balance 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 offer you another apartment if we have one available, and if not, we'll help you find an alternative.
If your plans change
Deposits are non-refundable, but if you give us at least two months' notice, we can arrange new dates for you, subject to availability.

Average daytime highs through the year
Costa AdejeUK average
Long-term averages from AEMET, Spain's national weather service (Tenerife South Airport station, 1981–2010), and the Met Office (UK average, 1991–2020). Rainy days are days with at least 1 mm of rain. Sea temperatures are typical monthly averages. Every year is a little different, so treat these as a guide.

Ask on WhatsAppAbout us
How do I know you're genuine?
It's a fair question – there are scams out there. We've been welcoming guests since 2013, many of them come back year after year, and you can read their messages above. You only pay a 30–40% deposit to book, and the rest is paid when you arrive and have seen the apartment for yourself.
Where are you based? Do you have an office?
We're an online business, so there's no high-street office – but we're very much real people. Richard looks after your enquiry and booking personally, and our local team in Tenerife meet you at the apartment, are on hand during your stay, and see you off when you leave.
The apartments
Are meals included?
Our apartments are self-catering, each with its own kitchen, so you can eat in or out as you please. Supermarkets, cafés and restaurants are close by.
What's included in the apartment?
Towels, bed linen, a final clean, Wi-Fi and a hairdryer come with every apartment, at no extra cost.
Is the pool heated?
It depends on the complex and the time of year. Each listing has the details, or just ask and we'll tell you for the apartment you're interested in.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by 11am. If you'd like to arrive earlier or leave later, just ask – we can often arrange it when there's no booking either side of yours.
Getting there
How far is it from the airport?
Costa Adeje is about 20 minutes by car or taxi from Tenerife South Airport (TFS). Flights from most UK airports take around 4 to 4½ hours.
Can you arrange an airport transfer?
Yes, we can arrange a private transfer, subject to availability. Just let us know your flight details in good time.
Will we need a car?
Not unless you'd like to explore the island. Day to day, you can get around Costa Adeje on foot, and taxis and buses are easy to find.
Weather
Is it cold in winter?
Not as you'd know it at home. In January, daytime highs average around 22°C with about six hours of sunshine a day. Evenings are cooler, so pack a light jumper. You can check any month with the weather tool above.
Booking and payment
How much is the deposit, and how do I pay?
A 30–40% deposit secures your booking. You can pay by bank transfer to our UK or euro bank account, by PayPal, or by card online. The balance is paid when you arrive.
Are there any extra costs?
No – all fees and taxes are included in the price we quote. The only other thing is a refundable security deposit, paid at check-in and returned at the end of your stay.
What if we need to change our dates?
Deposits are non-refundable, but if you give us at least two months' notice, we can arrange new dates for you, subject to availability.
Could you ever cancel our booking?
It's very rare – just 0.3% of all bookings ever made with us. If it does happen, we'll offer you another apartment if we have one available, and if not, we'll help you find an alternative.
