Home2Book Pretty Cottage Finca La Golosa 2, Pool Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Home2Book Pretty Cottage Finca La Golosa 2, Pool, honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the name alone — it’s quite a mouthful. But you know what? This four-star property completely surprised me. Tucked away in the hills above La Orotava, it feels like you’ve discovered someone’s well-kept secret rather than just another vacation rental. The cottage sits on what locals call a finca — basically a traditional Canarian estate — and there’s something genuinely charming about the whole setup.

The Setting

La Orotava itself is one of those Tenerife towns that tourists often skip, which is honestly their loss. You’re positioned perfectly here — close enough to the coast that you can reach Puerto de la Cruz in about ten minutes, but high enough up the valley that you get those incredible views across to Mount Teide. I mean, waking up to that volcano dominating the skyline never gets old. The location gets consistently high marks from guests, and after staying here, I totally get why couples rate it so highly for romantic getaways.

The Cottage Experience

The room setup is actually more like having your own little house — there’s a proper sense of privacy that you just don’t get at regular hotels. What really sold me was the pool area, which feels completely secluded despite being shared with other cottages on the property. You can float around in the morning with your coffee and not see another soul if you time it right. The whole place has this rustic-meets-comfortable vibe that works really well — think exposed beams and traditional tiles, but with modern touches that actually make sense.

Practical Perks

One thing I appreciated was the parking situation — it’s included and actually spacious, which matters more than you’d think when you’re navigating these narrow mountain roads with a rental car. The cottage comes with everything you need for longer stays, including a decent kitchenette if you want to grab groceries from the local market in town. There’s also this lovely terrace where I ended up spending most evenings, just watching the light change across the valley as the sun set behind the mountains.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t the kind of place where you’ll find a fancy restaurant or elaborate amenities — and that’s sort of the point. What you get instead is this authentic Canarian experience that feels worlds away from the resort strips down on the coast. The recent guest feedback consistently mentions the location, and I can see why — you’re genuinely in one of the most beautiful parts of Tenerife, with easy access to hiking trails, traditional villages, and some of the island’s best local restaurants. It’s the kind of place where you actually slow down and remember why you wanted to visit the Canary Islands in the first place.
