About this property

Stunning views, perfect location, fabulous house within walking distance to all

This special house of 130 m2 + 120 m2 rooftop - is situated in the middle of Playa Santiago, only 250 meters from the beach. From the rooftop you overlook the sea, the village, the harbor, and the mountains.
The house is situated on Calle La Banda, with a pedestrian street in front and La Banda behind. You can enter the house from both the pedestrian street as well as from the street.
The entrance door from the pedestrian street leads into a patio, here is an avocado tree – sometimes good avocados around Christmas.
From the patio you can go up to the rooftop - or enjoy the house below.
On the ground floor you find a bathroom with double shower, from the patio you can also enter the open hallway leading to all the rooms below. It is rather special with an open hallway, and it gives the house a lot of air and a nice, open feeling. An open hallway is possible, as we on average have less than 3 rainy days a year, and open hallways or courtyards are typical Canary style to create a bit of breeze in the houses. The hallway leads directly to kitchen, living room and 3 bedrooms.
The master bedroom has a double queen size bed and a ceiling fan. Furthermore the house has one more bedroom with a queen size bed - and a twin bedded room. '

Maximum 6 persons can stay in the house.

A big living room with leather sofas as well as a dining area. Here you find television, dvd, stereo and lots of books. The television is cable connected to the telephone company for cable television as well as internet connected, so feel free to search.
The ground floor also has a complete kitchen with granite tabletop, electric stove with oven, combined fridge/freezer, dishwasher, electric kettle, blender, toaster, food processor etc.

The rooftop is split in two: the semi covered part - and the sun terrace.

The rooftop is closed towards Calle La Banda and in both ends. In one end we have the staircase towards Calle La Banda and a bathroom with double shower, in the other end a complete kitchen. This area is open towards the sun terrace to give you a complete feeling of open air living and giving you the views.
The kitchen here is also a complete kitchen with granite table tops, and a built-inn gas cooker and fridge. The kitchen on the first floor has all amenities apart from dishwasher and oven, which you find in the kitchen below. Furthermore you find a gas barbeque here so you don't need to go downstairs to do the cooking

The covered part of the rooftop also have a king size bed, and a dining table that holds 8 persons, when extended.
The other half of the rooftop is open with plants and stunning views. Her you find a dining table, as well as sun chairs.
We even keep a hammock so you can swing in the late afternoon sun getting the last of the rays while "preparing" for the evening.

When we stay in the house we sleep and live on the rooftop, only using the downstairs when accessing the washing machine. It is a different feeling sleeping on the rooftop – a different sense of freedom.

When you arrive the house will be ready for you, with beds made according to your wish. The house comes with all linen etc, so you just bring your personal necessities. If you need cleaning of the house during your stay, please let us know.

Great location close to bars, restaurants and supermarket. The sun terrace with outside kitchen diner was a splendid place to relax on our return from walks in the beautiful mountains. Host Hanne made the whole experience run smoothly from start to finish.

Central hilly location
The outside kitchen and terrace were great and we made use of them during our stay. The bedroom corridor is open to the sky and access to the bathroom is therefore open to the elements. This is not a problem in good weather but is a problem when it rains. The bedrooms were comfortable but require a refresh with new pillows and bed linen.

Overwhelming!
Dear Hanne and Jesper, if we could we would also award at least six stars! It's just a dream! In this beautiful house we missed nothing. Everything was more than generous. We had three wonderful weeks on this beautiful island. The house, the people, the nature ... We like to think back to this time! Since we liked it so much, we will definitely come again! Eva & Birgit

Leider Kakerlaken in der unteren Ebene,Ekel
Ankunft im Dunkeln, kein Licht, kein Wasser.Wir stolperten mit den Koffern die steile Treppe zum Haus hinunter.Lustig.Maria kam dann nach Anruf und machte die Sicherungen an.Hätte sinnvollerweise am Nachmittag passieren sollen.Im Dunkeln auf Kakerlaken getreten. Meine Frau wollte gleich wieder weg.Anruf am nächsten Tag beim Eigentümer,der sich für das grottige Checkin entschuldigte und Massnahmen für die Ungezieferbeseitigung anbot. Hat den Ankunftsstress aber nicht gemindert. Das Ungeziefer hätte bei halbweges sorgfältigem Check auch schon vorher entdeckt und beseitigt werden können. Besteck war teilweise dreckig, der Grill auch. Keine Sonnenschirme auf der Terrasse.SMS an Eigentümer blieb leider unbeantwortet. Haus hat von der Terrasse ein schönen Blick auf den Hafen.Ist aber ziemlich laut, da unterhalb die Erschliessungsstrasse entlangführt und der Schall mehrmals reflektiert nach oben strahlt. Abends leider auch ein, zwei neurotische Hunde ,die bis in die Nacht permanent bellen. Insgesamt also nicht so super.Tut uns leid für die Schilderung,aber so war es leider.

Tolles Haus mit super Blick und großartiger Dachterrasse/Outdoorküche
Die Kommunikation mit Hanne und Jesper lief sowohl vor als auch während unseres Aufenthalts super. Wir haben uns sehr schnell in dem Haus wohl gefühlt und hatten tolle Abende auf der Dachterrasse. Auch die Kinder fanden das Haus großartig, besonders den Korb-Flaschenzug im offenen Flur. Super schnelles Internet. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier übernachten.

ein großes und offenes Haus mit großer Terrasse und Aussenküche
Für uns (2 Paare, 4 Erwachsene zwischen 54 und 68 Jahren) war das Haus super. Genug Platz für alle (wir haben zwei Schalfzimmer nicht benutzt). Zwei Bäder, jede Menge Handtücher, eine riesige Terrasse mit einer kompletten zweiten Küche inklusive Grill und Kühlschrank - super. Von der "normalen" Küche im Erdgeschoss haben wir nur den Kühlschrank, die Spülmaschine und die Waschmaschine benutzt. Geschirr, Besteck, Messer, Töpfe, Pfannen, Gläser, alles in ausreichenden Mengen und in guter Qualität vorhanden. Man rennt öfter am Tag die Treppe mit 20 Stufen von unten nach oben und zurück, aber wenn man es als Training sieht - super! Supermärkte, Bäckerei und Restaurants sind schnell und zu Fuss zu erreichen, es wird eigentlich alles angeboten, was man so braucht. "Eigentlich", weil wir leider kienen frischen Fisch in Santiago bekommen konnten, den gab es aber in den Restaurants ... Die Gastgeber Hanne und Jesper haben umgehend auf eMails geantwortet und waren sehr hilfreich. Es war eine sehr schöne Zeit hier im Haus und auf La Gomera!

The inside out house
We loved staying in this inside out house. It was a great location in the sunniest village in La Gomera with access to some great restaurants. The best thing about the house is the roof terrace. We spent all of our time on the roof with its excellent outside kitchen and barbeque-and this was in early Feb. One afternoon we even spotted a pod of pilot whales from the roof terrace! You do end up going up and down steep stairs quite a lot so not so great if your mobility is compromised at all. We definitely plan to return

Grosses, stimmiges Apartment, an alles wurde gedacht, tolle Küche auf der Terrasse
Grosses, stimmiges Apartment, an alles wurde gedacht, alles da, was man für einen Urlaub benötigen könnte oder auch wenn man länger hier wohnen würde, darum haben wir uns so wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Tolle Küche auf der Terrasse. Wir haben gegrillt, viel gekocht, was bei zwei Küchen ein Traum ist! Die vielen Tipps haben wir sehr gerne angenommen, es waren richtig gute Empfehlungen, auch wenn wir schon sehr, sehr oft in Gomera und in Playa Santiago waren und geglaubt haben, wir kennen eh schon das Meiste. Restaurants, Supermärkte, die Plaza, ... alles ist im Nu erreichbar. Es gibt gute Möglichkeiten, sein Auto in der Nähe des Hauses abzustellen. Danke Hanne und Jesper, ihr seid großartige, herzliche Und umsichtige Gastgeber!

Would give 6 stars if I could
Honestly, I would give 6 stars if I could. This is one of the nicest holiday homes we have been in so far. Not only is it spacious, very well equipped and spotlessly clean, but it is also very homely and decorated in a very nice Mediterranean style. The outdoor living room, kitchen, bed and bathroom on the roof are what make the house so special. We spent most of our time (when we weren't out and about) there: eating, drinking, relaxing, sunbathing... you can do it all their in the open air. Not to mention stargazing... Playa de Santiago we found to be the perfect base to explore La Gomera: the beach is 5 minutes from the house and has life guards during the day. Within 40' by car you are in the middle of Garajonay National Park with all its beautiful hikes. There are also several trails going through Santiago. If you are interested in geology you should make sure to pack an extra bag...we found some of our best stones right there at the beach. Santiago itself has all that you need: several supermarkets, great eating options (we recommend Bar La Chalana) and mostly locals and Spanish tourists around. So all in all: we plan on coming back!

Gek huis met geweldig groot terras en buitenkeuken, maar wel onlogisch allemaal. Netjes schoon..
Prima locatie daar, beste plek op La Gomera! Maar de foto's op de site tonen niet de werkelijke indeling van het huis, want het zit nl. boven elkaar. De buitenkeuken en het terras zijn perfect bij mooi weer, maar het echte huis zit daaronder, en is wat benauwd, zeker omdat de luiken niet vastgezet kunnen worden, dus dan zit je binnen in het donker... Daar zit ook een tweede keuken, allemaal netjes voor elkaar, maar waar lag de boter ook al weer, boven of beneden? En als het gas boven op is, moet je die zelf vervangen. Op di. en vr. komt er toeterend een vrachtautootje langs, maar je moet het maar willen. Dus dan beneden maar elektrisch gekookt, moet je wel met alle pannen de trap op naar boven, onhandig. Dat zijn ook de (prima) 4! douches en 2 toiletten, die zijn buitendeurs, dus 's-nachts even een paraplu meenemen als het regent.. Jammer. Maar het went! Echt wel een bijzondere plek, mooi rustig stil met prima uitzicht ook over wat water, en een goede plek om het eiland te verkennen, want nl. 2 uitvalswegen. Genoeg documentatie aanwezig, mooie eenvoudige wandelingen ook te maken nabij, vooral bij Alajero. (doe ook laag rondje om de kapel-berg!) Alles is aanwezig, werkt, fantastische stereo CD speler ook. Krant is onvindbaar, maar gewoon in straatje pal onder het huis te verkrijgen, vanaf 12:00 uur! We hebben er 18 dagen gezeten, helaas met af en toe wat minder weer, maar toch altijd wel wat zon, want het is hier de beste plek. We kwamen niets te kort in dit huis. Wifi prima, boven en onder, helaas geen BVN. Bij hogere temperaturen perfect, bij onder de 16 wat somber. Regen geen probleem, want overdekt buiten terras. Oh ja, kijk uit voor lamp in beneden toilet: die hangt te laag....

Very comfortable Spanish house with sea views
My wife and I have had several long stays at the house. It's a hop, skip and a jump from the port and convenient to everything in Santiago - the beach, shops, restaurants, bars, La Tecina hotel etc. It makes no pretence to be flashy which is what is so nice about it ....but it has absolutely everything you need - comfortable bedrooms, two excellently provided kitchens, two bathrooms, a fantastic inside and outside roof terrace for lounging, cooking and eating, even sleeping under the stars! It's very well maintained and clean. The owners have always been extremely kind and helpful. It's a highly recommendable property in La Gomera. In our view, Santiago is the nicest spot on the island, with by far the most reliable and consistent weather. You can walk, cycle and swim to your heart's content!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We bought this property back in 2006 as we love La Gomera. Back then it was a different house but we did see the potential. We built the rooftop completely according to our wishes of making the most of the outdoor feel and the stunning views.
As we have experience in renovating houses we took this task upon ourselves, spending a long time going through all the different options to make it exactly like we wanted. That process was long and at the same time very rewarding, as we ended up getting a very personal house - exactly as we had pictured it.
Downstairs we renovated the rooms one by one - putting up paintings - and bringing some of our favorit furniture from Denmark to the house.
We lived in the house a long period - and are currently living in Latvia - thus we can rent out the house.

We love spending time in the house - and we prefer to do the cooking ourselves. Thus we have put a lot of effort into having not 1 but 2 kitchens in the house - both completely with all what you need to do your cooking - and having a good time doing it. In the rooftop kitchen we put up a small table called the bar/salad table - as we just enjoy making a salad - and at the same time taking in the magnific view of the town, harbour and the water. Once the cooking is done - or the barbeque is simmering - we often just relax here with a glass of wine, taking in the fact that we have this amazing option in our lives.
Everything you need is here, from glasses for water, white- and red wine to pots and pans. So you can say we have made the property ready for use - just need to add you!

One of the last additions is a hammock or actually 2, a double hammock from Nicaragua and a single hammock from Ecuador. Yes you gessed rigth - we love travelling and we also have quite a bit of travelling books in our living room here, if you need inspiration for you next trip.

Why they chose this property

If you want a truly different stay on a fantastic island, this is it. Here you do not get a typical house built for turists. You get an opportunity to live in the old town of Playa Santiago - amongst Spanish people living their everyday life. At the same time you have everything to yourself once you are inside the patio door.
Everything is so close by - and at the same time you can do as you want, when you want - having the luxury of a unique house different from everything else. A ground floor in a "old but totally renovated" house - and an upstairs so different from everything else.

Imagine being able to live on the top of a house - being able to watch the fishing boats coming or leaving while making your dinner - or just lazing around having a great time in the sun - still only 10 meters away from the kitchen and the fridge or the coffee pot - while working out how to use the rest of your precious day, like walking to the beach approx 225 meters, or the plaza a few meters shorter, the pier a bit longer or ?? just hanging out enjoying life.

Everything is within walking distance from French bakery to German dentist (and they speak German, English and Spanish)

You even get the opportunity to take a sower with your loved on - as we have installed double showers in both our bathrooms. We go by the Why not instead of the why.

Anyway the real deal about the house is the it is unique - not just en the way that it has the "downstairs" and the "upstairs" - but the downstairs is in it self special with an open hallway in the middel of the house - so when going to the toilet at night you might enjoy a view of the stars. All rooms being different.

Should you be a bit more adventures you might sleep in the double bed on tre roof beneath the tiled "pergola" - as we always do. Doing that you can surely feel and se the environment

What makes this property unique

You can live 100% on the roof top - meaning you live under a semi cover, where you have kitchen, bathroom, king size bed, as well as "living room" with table etc - and of course this is directly connected with the sun terrace. Here the tough decisions are: Shall we eat in the shade - or in the sun?
In other words: You get 2 houses in one.

The house comes with 2 mountain bikes.

Furthermore this is not a typical "turist house" it is an old house in town - built so long ago that nobody knows when. We have renovated the house completely but kept an eye on keeping some of the original feel in the house.

Furthermore you get to experience a house, where you can enter the house from above - descending one floor to access the roof - or you can enter the house at ground level from a pedestrian street - walking straigt into the patio where you find our avocado tree.
