A guide to what the “New Normal” means in Tenerife, what to expect in our Apartments and the official requirements to visit Tenerife.

Dear Guests,

After months of lock-down under very stringent conditions we are very happy to announce our return and the fact you have found this page because it means we will be welcoming you back (or maybe for the first time) to Tenerife, where the climate is the best in the world, people are friendly and everything is affordable.

We ask you to respect the rules and regulations imposed by the Spanish / Canary Government and local authorities so we can stay open to continue to provide you with holiday accommodation.

From our side we have made sure that the apartment you stay in has been deep-cleaned by our in-house very experienced staff with Ultraviolet Germicidal Ozone lamps besides the traditional cleaning with bleach (1:50) guaranteeing a virus-free environment.

All our apartments are governed by the Cabildo de Tenerife under a holiday let license (V-V Vivienda Vacacionales)

Welcome!

IMPORTANT – UVC / OZONE GERMICIDAL RADIATION LIGHTS

The sanitizing lights we use in the apartments to completely eradicate viruses and other pathogens use a wavelength between 200 – 280 nanometres, UV-C), this is the most effective way to sanitize areas according to major studies.

They are used in hospitals, airports, airplanes, buses, and trains all over the world.

The lights come in the shape of ordinary light bulbs, they are safe to use but they should never be used by unauthorized persons as they can cause damage to the skin and eyes in seconds.

For this purpose, the lights are fitted with remote timers making it possible to operate them from a distance.

The lights in the apartments are clearly marked and normally removed for the duration of your stay.

In some situations (late self-check-in) it can be that the lights have not been removed (but will not be on), in this case you will always be informed and receive clear instructions.

All apartments are sanitized before you arrive, the cost is included in your stay, the next scheduled clean will be after your departure.

Should you require additional sanitizing please contact us and we will give you quote according to the size of the apartment you are in.

If additional sanitizing is requested please take into account that no person can be inside the apartment during the process and for at least 1 hour afterwards.

!!!WARNING!!!

 ¡At no time should any guest operate UV-C / Ozone germicidal lights, without exception!
