Hotel Spa Villalba

Prachtig sfeervol hotel, super gelegen in de naaldbossen op 10’ wandelen van het bergdorpje Vilaflor.  Mooie SPA met alle voorzieningen. Aangenaam restaurant met typische gerechten.

Great mountain retreat. A really excellent 4* hotel and spa outside the highest village of vilaflor in tenerife. With a few tweeks it could easily have been a 5* experience. Easy car parking on cul de sac road but no help with luggage, just one person on duty at all times. We had a terrace room with a hot tub which included a good-sized bedroom and a sitting room. The bathroom was big, twin basins, with a shower over a jacuzzi bath. With the amount of room, it would have been nice to have had a separate walk-in shower, and the taps on the bath didn't enable it to be used by two people. Surprisingly, the bathroom was not supplied with shampoo or conditioner nor any tablet soap. There wasn't anywhere to hang robes and towels near the hot tub or jacuzzi, and the shelves had not been dusted. The sitting area had a TV, a fridge with bottled water, nespresso coffee, and a kettle. Nice dining area in a conservatory which had patio heaters required in January. Pity the windows weren't cleaned well. Adequate breakfast with cooked items to order. Lunch and dinner were the same menu. Generally, very good food and excellent staff. Pleasant lounge area but no bar and difficult to order drinks. We couldn't find any information about the hotel and its history nor much about vilaflor. Discovered the star gazing night at the hotel by accident- but it was a great experience. The spa and pool in the basement was capable of opening to the outside but not in January! And it was a little too cool for us. There are several nice walks into the pine forest and across the valley to the village and the "big pines." Two or three day-time cafés in the village but we didn't find anywhere near to eat in the evening. I hope my comments are taken as constructive criticism, which could probably be dealt with by management. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return for longer next year.

This is a superb hotel, we visited just after new year. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable and clean. You get a great choice for breakfast and the omelettes are the best we have ever tasted. The staff are all incredibly friendly and provide very good information on walks etc. Spa Facilities are also really good. Evening meals and drinks are reasonably priced and good quality, only very minor point is the starters seem to be overpriced compared to everything else. Great quiet location, set in lovely grounds, easy to get to Mount Tiede and national park and about 35min drive to coast. There are also some nice restaurants in the village but best to check opening times. I would say you do need a car, we found Topcar at Tenerife airport to be good. A great experience, we would like to return and would definitely recommend.
