Nice place but water problems
The location is lovely and the view is great, as is the pool. We enjoyed grilling and otherwise cooking. As others have noted you can kinda hear the people upstairs when you're outside but it's not a bother. Janie and Gary, the onsite managers, were responsive and as helpful as they could be. The issue we had was with the water: two days of no hot water and then no water at all, which meant moving to a hotel at vast expense (difficult to find places last minute). We were ultimately out of the unit for 4 nights. Nick did reimburse us but sadly it didn’t cover the expense or the stress.

Excellent Villa and Location
Very friendly check in on arrival and good communications. with Janie. We had everything we needed at the Villa which was well equipped. Located at the top of the road it was energy consuming walking up from the town. We had a hire car which was really useful for shopping and sight seeing.

Holiday Villa
This is a lovely property, but under no circumstances could it be called a Villa. It is a ground floor apartment, with another apartment above it. It is particularly disconcerting when the tenants in the apartment above are a party of at least eight who, when sitting on their balcony, end up overlooking the pool area of our apartment. Unless you are looking for an apartment, with overhanging neighbours, give it a wide berth.

Thank you for your much valued review, Villa Boutique is one of 11 cluster villas in the very best location in Los Gigantes on the cliff with views over the ocean that are second to none. We have never had any issue with anyone in any other villa and we was not made aware of any issue by the guest whilst on holiday at the villa. We ensure all our guests have a wonderful time at all our villas so to read the details of the review is very confusing.

Living the dream
4 weeks spent at this beautiful villa. Everything we needed for our stay was in the Villa. Beautiful outdoor space with an adequately sized pool, tables, chairs, parasols and barbecue. The lovely Janie, the property manager was there to greet us on arrival and showed us how everything worked and left us a few supplies to get us going. Juan, the pool man came twice a week to check the pool and clean up the dust from the outdoor area. Beautiful location overlooking the cliffs and the sea. A 5-10 minute walk into town but takes a bit longer if you walk back up the hill but taxis are available in town. Overall a wonderful time was had by all.

A lovely villa in a wonderful setting
The villa is in an excellent location, away from the centre of the town and with amazing views but only a 15 minute walk to the bars, cafes and restaurants. The villa is really well appointed and the living area is very comfortable. The pool and terrace are small but perfect for a family of four - in October, the terrace is in sun from lunchtime until sunset.

Lovely relaxing holiday
We stayed in Villa Boutique for 9 nights in August and had an absolutely lovely time there. Leading up to our stay, any questions we had were quickly answered by Nick to put us at ease. Upon arriving at the villa, Janie was there to greet us and show us around where we found all the essentials available for our arrival which was great given we had arrived late into the evening. The villa itself has everything you need, is clean, comfortable and has some great views overlooking the sea and marina. The WiFi was great too. We went in the height of the summer with temperatures rising to mid 30s every day so the pool was a very welcome sight. I was originally a little worried about the size of the pool before arriving but it was the perfect size even fitting in a couple of Lilo's as well as a family of 5 and we spent a lot of the day in it. It was cleaned a few times during our stay too which was a great. There's no getting around the fact the villa is on top of a very big hill. All other reviews state this but this wasn't an issue for us as we walked down to the town every day (10 to 15 minutes walk depending on where you go) and for less than €5, we got a taxi back. If it hadn't been so hot, we might have attempted to walk back but for that cost, there really wasn't any need. We had budgeted for that anyway. In the town there are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from serving some lovely food and entertainment. The only slight negative is we didn't find any shops close by so popping for some milk or bread wasn't too easy and needed to walk into the town. There might have been one but we just didn't explore enough given the heat of the day. All in all, a great stay and a lovely time had by all.

Well equipped villa with a great pool in a quiet location at the top of the resort - quite a steep walk up and down but fine for us. Villa was very clean and Janie responded quickly when we contacted her . Might be worth putting on villa details that there is only air conditioning in two of the three bedrooms . Otherwise a lovely stay - thank you.

Great location, lovely views
This is a nice apartment in a fantastic location. The views of the cliffs, the sea and La Gomera are wonderful, especially at sunrise and sunset. Yes, it's a bit of a walk down into the town and back (10-15 mins), but equally that means that you don't get all of the noise from the bars and restaurants. There was some noise from the apartment above and next door, but this is to be expected I guess - I didn't see any detached villas in Los Gigantes, it is built up a cliff after all! The pool was lovely once heated (necessary in April). We enjoyed boat trips to see whales and dolphins (can thoroughly recommend WhaleWise Eco Tours), a kayak trip, a great hike along the Camino Real (Canaventura) and a trip up to Teide on the cable car. Communication with Nick and Janie was excellent, they were very quick to respond and act when we needed them.

Family holiday in Los Gigantes
Whether inside or outside, there are wonderful views of Los Gigantes rock formations. Most days we walked into town and would take around 15 minutes. The steep walk gets the heart pumping for sure. The accommodation was spacious and well equipped for family. Perfect outdoor space for soaking up the sunshine and dips in the pool. Great TV, films and internet. Communications with owner and representative was easy and efficient. Comfortable beds. Clean. We had a hire car and location made airport, day trips and supermarket run easy.

Excellent secluded property
The property is spacious, well appointed and well equipped. Although away from the centre, up a hill, it is not a difficult walk unless walking is problem for you. It also means that it is quiet and secluded with a great view over the sea. Being December we opted for pool heating which works well. WiFi is great but location means mobile phone reception in the villa is a bit intermittent. Overall we were very pleased with the property and enjoyed our holiday.

Stunning views
Beautiful property in a lovely location with stunning views of the cliffs. We had everything we needed for a fantastic holiday. Plenty of great restaurants, etc. all within walking distance. Only slight negative was the exhausting walk back to the property with the road incline being seemingly endless and us older folk realising how unfit we were!! Having attempted it a few times we resorted to the much more pleasant and reasonably economical taxi ride home (max €5). For us, the highlight was probably the rapido boat trip where we saw dolphins and whales in their natural habitat - wonderful!

Amazing villa in perfect location
We’ve recently stayed in Villa Boutique and enjoyed every minute of it. The kids loved the villa but enjoyed the pool even more. Perfect for them to jump in after a busy day. Only a ten minute walk in to Los gigantes where there are more than enough bars and restaurants to be able to try something different every day if you wanted. All in all the perfect place for a holiday. Can’t wait to go back. Daniel and Becki

Lovely accommodation with fabulous views
We had a lovely stay in Los Gigantes. The accommodation was great for 4 adults and 3 children. We had the pool heated which was needed for the kids at this time of year, but we still had some lovely weather too. You can walk into town, although it’s up hill on the way back, however is definitely doable and there are taxis if needed. The views from the apartment were great and it was a pretty quiet location on the whole with just a few people coming every now and then to look at the fabulous view, however not enough to disturb the peace. Janie was also very helpful prior to us arriving and when checking in. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The description does not correspond to reality.
We have a rest in Tenerife for the sixth times; we have never lived in such bad conditions.We stayed for 3 weeks. 2 adults, two children. All people have different tastes, so I want to present only the facts. This is not a villa, but an apartment. It is dark, cold, damp and smells of old age. The sun does not shine in any window. In January, without heaters, the temperature is no more than 17 С. There are no good blankets in the villa, instead synthetic bedspreads are offered. The apartment is old and requires complete repair. The owner writes about the updated bathrooms - but apparently it was a long time ago. Plumbing is old; shower and faucets do not work well, the boiler is only 80 litters. The sofa in the living room is designed for the street, very hard. Children's room (where there are bunk beds) are in the basement, it is damp, dark and cold. The apartment has very bad sound insulation. Hear everything that happens at the top of the neighbours. If you get noisy neighbours, then there will be no silence. The owners in the description forgot to talk about the regular guests - cockroaches. We had 3 days to destroy them. The owners could not have been unaware of this, because there were a lot of anti-cockroach tools in the kitchen. Now a little about the beautiful views, silence and relaxation (as written in the description). The view is only on the rock. A beautiful ocean view photo, placed in the description, is made from the adjacent apartment on the floor above. Ocean view is available only from the far corner of the yard and only if you are standing. In January, the sun comes to the terrace only after 12 hours. And illuminates no more than half of the terrace and pool. Only four people can sunbathe at the same time. There is no place for more sun loungers. The apartment is on the road. At 10 meters there is a path to the observation deck, so from dawn to dusk people come and come to admire the views. Car doors are constantly slamming and loud conversations from people are heard. In the evening, when tourists stop walking, you can “enjoy” the constant noise from the pool equipment. Quiet never happens. The pool is heated, but there are a lot of broken tiles. Our son badly cut his leg. For 3 weeks stay no one has ever been cleaned. +: Super fast Internet. Good location. Summary: This is not a luxury villa, but an old 2-star apartment. He is not worth his money. The price for an apartment is overestimated at least 2-3 times.

Not our favourite review but not a true reflection of our beautiful villa and the guests stay in our home. Some Guests believe it's OK to damage property and leave the villa in an absolute state when they depart. So when asked to recompense the owner to the cover the costs then I guess we can expect some type of retaliation in the form of an inaccurate review full of untruths designed to ruin our hard earned reputation. Previous reviews from our fantastic guests have a majority review rate of 4.6 stars out of 5 due to recent past guests leaving well balanced and honest reviews. Pure retaliation is what has driven this silly review of inaccuracy. Just the week prior to the guests stay the previous guest commented in her review "We had a marvellous week in this stunning villa" "The views across the ocean include the neighbouring island of Gomera and glorious sunsets; the spectacular sheer cliffs of Los Gigantes form part of the lovely vista from the terrace area" "In fact we booked it again the moment we returned home!" "The villa is spacious, very comfortable and extremely well appointed and equipped" Villa Review December 2018. So it's really odd because as detailed below: We don't have a cellar in our Villa? The Villa was renovated just 6 years ago? The Sun Shines on every window? We have heaters for every room? (although not always necessary) All Blankets are changed every 3-6 months? We do not and never have had a Cockroach infestation? Nor do we have Cockroach Tools - Whatever they are? In Winter Sunshine arrives on the Patio at 11am not 1pm? There are no broken tiles in the pool? The Sunsets are amazing The Pictures show ample space for Sunbathing and amazing views? The Villa is in the most peaceful part of Los Gigantes? If you are reading our response to this review and would like any assurity to the items mentioned above then please feel free to contact us to discuss. Thank You.

Superb villa - a real gem
We had a marvellous week in this stunning villa. In fact we booked it again the moment we returned home! The views across the ocean include the neighbouring island of Gomera and glorious sunsets; the spectacular sheer cliffs of Los Gigantes form part of the lovely vista from the terrace area. We swam in the pool on Christmas day and walked ( 10 minutes) to the delightful harbour of Los Gigantes village for delicious freshly grilled seabass and chilled Tenerife white at El Ancla. The villa is spacious, very comfortable and extremely well appointed and equipped. Janie the manager met us on arrival ( even though our flight was delayed) - she was warm, charming and very helpful and we appreciated the welcome pack of basics ( we were too late to shop ). Staying here is a lovely experience and really we cannot recommend this lovely villa, in this great location,highly enough.

Los Gigantes I believe is the best place not only in Tenerife but in the whole of the Canary Islands it has something for everyone and is such a beautiful destination to relax and enjoy the lovely warm weather. A tremendous amount of work is done by Janie to ensure each guest has the most wonderful holiday and Janie is always on call should you have an issue with anything whilst on holiday.

Absolutely perfectly fabulous and highly recommended
My 15 year old daughter and i stayed in September. We were welcomed by Eileen who showed us round. There was tea,coffee, sugar, milk, water, Orange, bread and jam waiting for us which was a lovely touch. The villa was spotlessy clean and everything you could ever need and more. The pool was just perfect and provided great fun for us both. The terrace was excellent and the sunloungers were comfy. Its location is idyllic with the most amazing views that you can never tire of. The beds were very comfy and the shower was great not a trickle in sight!! The owners obviously care very much for this property and i look forward to returning again soon and hopefully staying at their other properties. Were there any negatives - i've tried to find some but i can honestly say no. It was just perfecto

Lovely Villa, Excellent location, would definitely come back
Came here with my wife and 2 children along with my mum, dad, brother and nephew for 9 days. Had an excellent time and the villa was excellent. The kids spent as much time as they could in the Pool whilst we relaxed on the sunloungers enjoying the sun. Despite it being at the top of the hill this caused no problems as it was a pleasant 10 minute stroll down to the restaurant and bars and on the way home we would get an 8 seater taxi for just 5 euros. The pool was just the right size for the kids. The villa was just like it said on the website. Bedrooms are a good size (air conditioning in the kids bedroom would have been nice although a fan was provided) We were met by Janie who showed us around the villa and was very helpful. Nice little welcome pack of the essentials of bread milk coffee etc was there when we arrived. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend this Villa and Los Gigantes.

Lovely villa
The villa felt very spacious, with lots of room for 3 adults and 4 children. Having two large bathrooms was great, there was always plenty of hot water and towels were provided. The kitchen was well set out and well equipped and the dining area was perfect for us. We were pleased to find the beds very comfortable, unfortunately we were regularly wakened early by other tourists looking to enjoy the views from the cliff path opposite the villa, bin men and street cleaners, but that was a small price to pay for the fabulous views of the cliffs and the sea, sunset views were spectacular. There was a problem with the electricity fuse box a couple of days before we left and we were without the use of sockets overnight. This was responded to promptly by Janie who we found to be lovely. The only real iissue this caused was we weren’t able to charge our phones. We all enjoyed the lovely pool, the children would have spent the whole ten days in it if we had let them. The polite notice placed on the walll at the entrance to the garden was a bit of a surprise and a disappointment. This pointed out that the Spanish older neighbours had a right to peace and quiet at all times, hardly possible with a pool and four young children enjoying themselves. Perhaps this info should be shared with people before they book, I know it inhibited the fun we had outdoors. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Boutique and we came home fitter than we arrived, thanks to the hill top location, which was a bonus!

nice...but not a nice as it could have been....
We were welcomed nicely and on first impressions the property looked lovely! The pool had missing tiles at the bottom and a cracked filter near the same area and one of our sons cut his foot badly on this. There was no I Pod docking station as stated on the details and we were disappointed as we had brought our music to play. The house keeping overall seemed OK...but we found dirty ladies knickers in our bedroom. We had workmen banging and drilling and making a lot of noise everyday in the apartment directly above us which was very disappointing as we chose somewhere we thought would be relaxing and private! (we appreciate work has to be done, but everyday into the early evening was a game changer when you are only away for 5 days! and this should have been communicated if we were to have to tolerate this) The area that housed the pool machinery was exposed, the cupboard unclosable and was very close to patio doors of our boys bedroom, so we did keep these doors shut and locked at all times. The holiday was for a special occasion and to get some winter sun...unfortunately the villa only had the sun come round onto it about 2.30/3pm in the afternoon, and as it was winter the sun was gone by 6pm which was a real shame! not positioned well for sun worshipers! we enjoyed the local area and dining out but we would not stay here again, as even though the views were nice there was constant traffic from dawn till dusk from tourists walking or driving and parking up close outside to look at the rock face! And finally..we are a fit and healthy family! If you are older or have any difficulty in walking this is certainly not the place to stay as positioned at the top of a very very steep hill and there were lots of steps to get down to the restaurants, bars and shops which caused us no real problems but still gave us a very good workout everyday!!!

Thank you for your review although a little unbalanced as you forgot to mention the Amazing Ocean Views from the Villa Terraces, The Beautiful Pool and Garden Area with it's Outside Dining Area, The Fantastic Facilities within the Villa, including a newly Fitted Modern Kitchen with New Appliances, The Beautiful Bathroom and EnSuite and the well appointed Bedrooms and Living accommodation. In response to the 5 issues you mentioned in your review, we acknowledge that 3 of the mosaic tiles on the pool floor are missing and this is being resolved at the end of February 2018, however we do not have a filter on the floor of the Pool although we do have an outlet water gully which we have examined and found it to be in perfect order, so I'm not sure where the filter is that you mentioned and considering Myself or Janie my Villa Manager in Tenerife never received communication from you in all your holiday in relation to any of your issues. We advise every guest to contact us immediately should something not be to their satisfaction and we will endeavour to remedy the issue as immediately if possible. We do have a docking system in the villa agin if you couldn't find it then maybe you could of contacted us to ask where it was. Prior to every Guest arrival the Villa is cleaned personally by Janie my villa manager, Janie's cleaning is meticulous, ensuring the villa is spotless and ready for new guest arrivals (Janie also meets new Guests on arrival at the villa), so it's highly unlikely that any belongs of a previous guest is left in any bedroom or indeed any other part of the villa, but again you did not contact us to make this known whilst you where at the villa. We have spoken with the owner of the villa who had work carried out on his property and this was for one day only, not 5 days, certainly not pleasant for the day which we accept and apologise for. The Door you mentioned leads under the Patio deck, not to the pool room and it's generally locked again if you was unsure then you could have contacted us. The Villa Patio/Sunbathing Area receives Direct sunshine from 9am in Summer and from 11am in Winter when the Sun is lower in the sky its the same for the whole of Los Gigantes, this is due to the height of the mountain to the North of Los Gigantes. We do not have constant traffic past the villa as the villa is at the end of a Cut de sac. No Steps just a leisurely 5 min walk along the footpath into the village or get a Taxi for 3 euros.

Nice apartment with good views
The apartment was convenient and views over the bay. Well equipped in kitchen (could benefit from having a washing machine for people who stayed longer). Sadly there was no WIFI which although was stated was something that really is needed these days and is normally provided for especially in this price rating. The television had problems with the reception signal. For some reason whilst watching TV, signal lost would be displayed...this happened too frequently and made watching TV unbearable. There was however a DVD with a selection of DVDs to view. The beds were comfortable and there was even air conditioning in the rooms if you needed it but we were fine with just the ceiling fans installed. Nice touches were the milk, bread and water left for us upon arrival including some sachets of tea. Host was very pleasant to deal with and the couple who showed us around the building were very kind and helpful. Just one thing we noticed attention was that some of the swimming pool tiles were starting to lift off on the base of the pool. Nothing too serious but would need sorting at end of season. Overall though enjoyed our stay - theTV and Wifi are the main two things that I would say would have definitely improved our stay.

Thank you for your fantastic review of Villa Boutique, we are so happy you had an enjoyable stay at the Villa and glad you found the process of booking and dealing with myself and my team in Los Gigantes seamless and an easy experience. The Villa does have a washing machine in the utility cupboard so not too sure why you could not find it. Cabled WiFi is very slow at this end of the Rock so it wouldn't be much use if we had it installed I'm afraid. The Solutions are to connect your PC to your "Hotspot" on your phone to gain access to the internet (it takes 5 seconds to set up - real simple and doesn't cost a penny extra) or you can do what I do which is go get a cappuccino at one of the many Bars/Cafes in the village, chill out for an hour and log on there. Alternatively a WiFi Box can be hired for 30 euros per week this works the same as connecting to your hotspot on a phone so probably best use your hotspot tbh. Occasionally the signal strength on the TV aerial drops (happens all over Los Gigantes) which can sometimes stagger the picture but hey ho it's sun-shining outside make the most of it :-)

A lovely villa in a gorgeous location
Myself and 4 friends stayed in this villa at the end of August and had a fabulous holiday. The villa was perfect and had everything we could want. We were met by Janie who was lovely and so helpful - as was the handy welcome pack that was left for us. There are many local bars and shops nearby - the taxis did come in handy as the villa is at the top of a hill but at only around €3, who would complain? We used the private pool every day - even the inflatables that had been left by the family before us. Our holiday was perfect- hope we can visit again in the future!!

Amazing Villa
Just returned from our amazing family holiday at this villa . On arrival we was greeted by Janie who made us feel welcome. The villa was immaculately presented and spotlessly clean . Our 3 teenagers couldn't wait to get in the inviting pool - and continued to spend most of there time in there whenever we was at the villa . The local resort was lovely with lots of restaurants and bars to pick from, and as we had a car we found other resorts a short drive away if we fancied a change. We was a little sceptical about choosing a villa holiday but we are now converted and would love to stay at this villa again. As mentioned in other reviews the villa is very high up in the resort but as a taxi ( 5 people minibus) was only 3.5 Euros this was no problem. We would highly recommend this villa to any of our family and friends. Absolutely amazing .

Excellent property in quiet, beautiful position
Family with 3 teenagers. Need to be fit to walk down to town and back but only takes 10-15mins and Los Gigantes has enough restaurants and bars without feeling tacky or over developed (unlike Las Americas area). Enough for our older teenagers to do. Plenty of local boat trips and attractions like Siam park accessible within half an hour. Weather and location spectacular.

Thank You so much for your lovely review, we are glad you had a super holiday and found our Excellent Villa to be in a Beautiful & Quiet Location. Hopefully you will visit us again soon. Out of interest you can get a Taxi too and from the villa to the Beach, Marina, Shops, Restaurants & Bars, Village Centre for 3.5 euros if prefer not to walk down into the village (normally takes 5-10 minutes to walk down).

Lovely villa in stunning location
We stayed here for a week in June, a party of 4 adults and 2 children. The villa is in probably one of the best locations in Los Gigantes, at the top of a hill with breathtaking views of the mountains, marina and ocean. We happily walked down into Los Gigantes most days and got a taxi back costing around 3 euros. The villa is in a lovely, quiet location, the pool was a good size and was cleaned regularly. We took a trip to Lidl to get some groceries and cooked alot in the villa, with plenty of space to cook and sit altogether inside or outside. The bedrooms were good sized with comfortable beds, bathrooms clean and gave good showers! We took a few trips around the island but quickly realised how special Los Gigantes is, the people in the bars snd restaurants were so kind and lovely with our children; it really felt like home. Its worth mentioning that the small bay isnt the best, but we were happiest around the pool and happy to travel to better beaches if we fancied it. We caught the bus and used taxis instead of hiring a car. Wifi would have been great, but we coped without it. Overall, really impressed and will definitely be returning. Thank you for a wonderful holiday :-)

Boutique Villa review- The 1290-character limit heavily reduces the depth this review could’ve been.
The Villa yet set in a beautiful location in a lovely town managed to somewhat spoil what could’ve been a perfect holiday.When arriving at the boutique villa it was clean and tidy but had an overpowering smell of damp. This was caused from the damp which wasin the lower bedroom wardrobe, glass cabinet and pretty much every lower drawer in the kitchen. The utensils in the kitchen were flimsy as I found out one evening after I cooked a medium sized chicken and could not find a single utensil strong enough to lift it from the roasting pan. Twice a day we had to mopa pool of water at the base of the fridge as it leaked. The bedrooms and bathrooms were as described but very visibly worn and tired. For the 2 week stay we had a shoddy bath, hand, and flannel towel each and the one set of bedding which was already on the beds. Any linen towel change or cleaning is to be paid as an extra. The bed in the en suite room had collapsed at the base causing an uncomfortable night sleep.Our 2 sons eventually left the main shower to use the en suites shower as its power and shower head were poor. 4 adults sharing 1 bathroom is not what we paid for. In conclusion, great location, great atmosphere but the poor standard to which the villa was kept left us not wanting to return.

Thank you for your review although NOT TRUE. It's a little disappointing that after being asked to pay for hundreds of pounds worth of DAMAGE YOU CAUSED to my wondeful villa you have now decided to leave a review that is completely untrue. The Villa does not have damp in it, nor does the fridge leak unless you leave the door open which I suggest you may have done and this is were you have the damp you mentioned. The utensils are just fine. All our beds are in good order so much so our guests have complimented me on how comfy they are, no bed has collapsed. The Bathrooms have only been fully refurbished 3 years so again complete untruth. We provide 2 sets of bedding and towels for a 14 night visit to our villa and all are renewed every 6 months. Even if any of the above had been true or indeed you had had an issue at the villa then why did you not contact me or my villa manager Janie during your holiday to ask for assistance. Janie will call out within hours to sort/fix any issue a guest may have. I also have a maintenance engineer who calls to the villa twice per week to ensure the pool and gardens are in good order this also enables my guest to speak to him and ask for assistance also. I have 12 amazing FIVE STAR reviews and 2 wonderful FOUR STAR reviews from guests who have previously stayed at my villa who have left messages like "Relaxing and Serene", "Perfect for a Relaxing Holiday", "A little corner of Paradise", "5* villa 5* location", "*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VILLA & RESORT*", "Peaceful Holiday at Beautiful Villa Boutique" certainly worth a look at before your mislead by this ridiculous review.

Relaxing and serene
There were five of us in our party, who haven't holiday'd together before in a villa, so this was a first. The villa is very spacious with all mod cons so there were no problems at all. It is very nicely decorated and stylish. Because it is situated quite high up, it is very tranquil, it's only when you go down to the village that you realise there's a lot going on. My husband and I have been going to Los Gigantes for many years, because we love it, and have only stayed in apartments, but we would certainly return to the Villa Boutique again. Loved it.

Thank you for your super review, staying in a villa as apposed to a hotel or apartment really does make the difference to an amazing relaxed holiday. No expensive Hotel Drinks Bill, No over inflated restaurant prices, No fighting for Sun Beds at 7.30am in a morning and most importantly you have your own Private Pool just for you. Villa life at Villa Boutique really is the most relaxing and carefree holiday experience you can have.

Great venue. Good welcome by Janie (local rep). Basics stocked in fridge. Good directions to get
Overall very good. Wiukd recommend to all, excepting if you have teenager dependant on wifi. This seems to be a requirement rather like water gas and electricity in this age. Will consider coming again after Teenager has grown up. Enjoy!

Thank you for such a kind review of Villa Boutique and that you would be kind enough to recommend my villa to others. Fortunately there are now lot's of ways we can connect to the Internet, at Villa Boutique the very best and speediest way is to connect your PC to the net is by using your "Personal Hot Spot" on your phone. It connects in seconds and the upload/download speed from Villa Boutique is great. So to keep those kids happy log on through your mobile phone (example charges using o2 are £1.49 per day including all calls and texts) alternatively ban all electronic gadgets for a whole week and HAVE A HOLIDAY, just an idea :-)

Lovely villa
The villa was lovely, it was clean, spacious, well equipped, had a nice outdoor area with beautiful sea views. The location was great, very quiet, peaceful and close to the village with all it's amenities. We would definitely recommend the villa to friends and family and would have given 5 stars if the beds were more comfortable.

Thank you for such a Super Review of Villa Boutique, I'm so glad you had a lovely holiday and found the villa to be a of a high standard, clean, spacious, well equipped, with a great outside area and those incredible sea views. As mentioned it is in a lovely quiet spot and only takes 4 minutes to walk into the village. Comfy beds are very important and quite a personal/individual opinion although most people find the beds to be perfect but with this in mind we will replace the beds during the next two months to find the comfiest beds on the island as it's important that our guests have the best nights sleep to enable them to be full of energy to enjoy the following day.

Perfect vacation base for staying with friends
Die Wirte Janie + Gary waren sehr Supporten, kommunikativ und liebenswürdig. Bei Fragen waren sie absolut schnell erreichbar und die Lösung erfolgte umgehend. Die Ausstattung der Villa war richtig gut und es fehlte höchstens ein scharfes Messer ( es ging aber auch ohne Probleme ohne dies ;-) ). Die Villa ist eingebettet in einem Komplex mit mehreren Apprtments, bei dem wir von den Nachbarn nie etwas mitbekommen haben. Wir würden die Gastgeber als auch die Villa jederzeit weiter empfehlen.

Thank you for your important Review we are so happy you had a great time at the villa and thought it was fine. After a weeks holiday I left my villa the day you arrived and I did not see any unwanted insects in the villa or indeed around the villa. The villa and its grounds are treated twice a year for insects and since your review we have treated the villa for a 3rd time although we did not see any insects in October 2022. Myself and my team are always on hand should any guest have issue with anything whatsoever we are just a phone call, text or email away and will always remedy any issue with out delay. Unfortunately we did not receive any communication from you during your holiday so to find out by a review you had an issue some 2 weeks later is indeed hard to remedy. Sincere Apologies

Wat een super appartement!
Schitterend gelegen en zeer ruim appartement. Hartelijk ontvangst door de vriendelijke hostess, die ook al de eerste levensmiddelen had klaar gezet, zodat het genieten meteen kon beginnen. Het verwarmde zwembad is heerlijk. Restaurantjes zijn op 10 minuten lopen en de taxi terug omhoog kost bijna niets.

Una villa cómoda en una ubicación muy especial
La villa es muy cómoda, ya que, salvo una de las habitaciones, que nosotros nos utilizamos, está todo en una misma planta, sin necesidad de subir y bajar escaleras. La ubicación es excelente, en una zona tranquila y con unas vistas preciosas, aunque sí es verdad que la subida desde el pueblo si uno baja andando puede resultar muy dura, especialmente bajo el sol del día. Sí habría algunos detalles que pueden ser mejorados para considerarla perfecta: - La villa es independiente, pero está anexa a otras y puedes tener vecinos, tanto arriba como en los lados. Creo que habría que ponerlo en la web para que no lleve a sorpresas a gente que quiere intimidad total. - Al ser un entorno muy húmedo, hay algunos cajones y armarios que conservan humedad y, por ellos, sería conveniente vaciarlos por completo regularmente y colocar elementos anti humedad para evitar la aparición de moho. - la barbacoa es muy pequeña para la capacidad de la casa. EN nuestro caso, al ser solo 4 personas suficientes, pero para 8 la vería muy justa. Son solo algunas posibles mejoras, pero tanto la villa como la atención que hemos recibido de Janie y Juan han sido muy satisfactorias y la estancia muy agradable.

Wonderful location in los Gigantes
We spent a wonderful week in this fantastic apartment. The area was very quiet, the house, terrasse and pool just perfect for us 5 adult persons. We enjoyed the beautifull view of the cliffs and location was perfect for us with a little walking distance to Gigantes town. We can only highly recommend this apartment.

Climat très agréable, location bien située
La location est très bien situe et la distribution intérieure est bien conçue. Les qualificatifs sont quelques peu exagérés, le luxe est plutôt vieillissant. Le carrelage de la terrasse n'est pas très régulier et laisse des flaques d'eau devant la porte par temps de pluie. Les matelas des lits superposés de la chambre basse ne sont pas comme on le souhaiterait
