01
Kid reality
150m² single-level villa on a 640m² fenced plot in Tías, with a private heated pool. The plot has a wall around it (parcela vallada) - no through traffic, no road noise, the kids can be loud. The crucial detail: the pool is heated and the listed minimum depth is 1.6m, which means it's a swim pool, not a paddle pool. There's no shallow end and no separate fencing around the water itself, so under-fives need a hands-on adult every minute they're outside. Mountain views, modern build, lots of natural light, big terrace.
02
Parent experience
It's a holiday home, not a hotel - so there's no breakfast, no sitter list, no concierge. What you get is total privacy, a real induction kitchen with dishwasher and oven, a heated pool nobody else is in, a barbecue, and the kind of evening where you can have a glass of wine on the terrace at normal volume. The host team replies on WhatsApp and that's roughly the extent of the service. Not for anyone who wants to be looked after.
03
Sleep setup
Three real bedrooms - two with king beds, one with two singles - and two bathrooms with showers. Genuinely sleeps six, which is unusual at this size and the reason it works for two families. Travel cot and high chair are listed as included on request. Blackout shutters in the bedrooms.
04
Logistics
Car essential - Arrecife airport is 15 min, the nearest supermarket 5 min, Puerto del Carmen beaches 10 min. Quiet residential area of Tías with no walkable village. Single-level layout inside the villa. Check-in 16:00 - 23:45, check-out by 10:00. Final cleaning fee (around €155) is added on top.
05
Food situation
Self-catering full stop. Kitchen is properly equipped (induction hob, oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, kettle, cookware). Order a Hiperdino delivery to arrive on day one. For meals out, drive 10 min to Puerto del Carmen for family-friendly restaurants, or 25 min to Arrecife for anything more interesting. No on-site dining at all.
06
Where to go for coffee
Coffee & Co, Arrecife
Specialty beans in a sunlit corner spot - worth the 25-min drive.
