Overview
Why stay in an ordinary hotel when you can bunk up in a beautifully preserved 16th-century mansion? Rural Victoria is where history meets homey vibes, tucked between sea views and mountain breezes in the heart of La Orotava. With just 13 rooms and a suite, it’s like having your own little slice of Tenerife’s heritage. And did we mention the food? The on-site restaurant serves up Canarian classics and wine that’ll make you want to buy a bottle—or five.

Location
Right in the historical centre of La Orotava, you’ll find yourself wandering cobblestone streets lined with colonial-era buildings and gardens that look straight out of a postcard. The iconic Casa de los Balcones is basically your neighbour, and if you’re into hiking or jaw-dropping views, Teide National Park is a short drive away. Want some beach time? A 15-minute drive lands you in the lively Puerto de la Cruz with its black sand beaches, buzzing nightlife, and foodie-approved restaurants.

How far is the nearest beach?
Only 7km to the black sands of Puerto de la Cruz.

Distance from Airport
Just 28km from Tenerife North Airport, so you’ll be sipping wine in no time.

Rooms
With only 13 Double and Superior Double rooms plus a suite, this spot keeps it cosy and personal. Each room comes with:

• Views of either the historic town or lush green hills

• A private bathroom (because, of course!)

• A flat-screen TV, minibar, and free Wi-Fi for all your scrolling needs

The suite even throws in a separate living area, perfect for sipping coffee while pretending you own the place.

Food & Drink
Forget your usual takeaway—this on-site restaurant is all about authentic Canarian cuisine paired with local wines. Fancy something lighter? Pop by the bar for a casual drink or a cheeky nightcap after exploring.

Sports & Entertainment
While there’s no gym or pool, who needs that when you’re surrounded by Tenerife’s natural beauty? Free Wi-Fi is available, so you can upload those views and make everyone at home jealous.
