Tenerife & environment

The main question for planning a holiday is: “When is the most beautiful season?”. The answer is simple: Tenerife is a all season holiday destination. It offers a warm temperature the whole year so that both air conditioning and a heater are redundant. Due to the whole year warm temperature of the Atlantic ocean, go swimming is always possible. Because of the fact that in particular the northern side of the island is protected against the sun by trade clouds in the summer, the temperature e.g. in august is much more enjoyable as at the Mediterranean sea.

If you are flexible with your holiday we would recommend you to travel in the low season – enjoy the same services much cheaper and have a better chance to get the room you would like to have. Low season times are from the beginning of June until the middle of July and at the beginning of December. In addition to that the magnificent anthesis is between May and June.

Santa Ursula is situated apart from the inrushes of tourists. Here you can find our Apartment Vistamar. Santa Ursula is situated 300 meters above sea level and therefore higher than Puerto de la Cruz. Because of this fact you will find some spectacular panoramic views over The Orotava valley.

The northern coast offers a lot of beaches with black sand for having a bath in the Atlantic ocean. There are wonderfull swimming beaches just 30 km away near Santa Cruz with shallow water. Half the battle of the north are various viewpoints, that are offering wonderful views of the blue of the sea, the green of the landscape and the magnificent Pico de Teide. With its 3718 meters it is the highest mountain of Spain and even the highest volcano of Europe.

We recommend to book a rental car for your holiday in Santa Ursula.
