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!

We loved staying at Hanne and Jespers little gem of a house in Playa Santiago. The kitchen and terrace outside invite you to spend your days outdoors even when you are not out to explore the island. Thank you for a great holiday!

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!
