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 double bedroom with a double queen size bed, a twin bedded room - and a room with a single bed.
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, food processor etc.
The rooftop is split in two: the semi covered patio containing a living area - and the sun terrace.
The “patio” 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 dishwashing machine and oven, which you find in the kitchen below. Furthermore you find a gas barbacue here so you dont need to go downstairs to do the cooking

The patio area 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.

Christmas getaway
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.

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

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/salat table - as we just enjoy making a salat - 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.
