Villas Morera, rural houses in La Palma

Villas Morera has three independent rural houses —Teresa, David and Antonio— all fully equipped and designed so you can enjoy a holiday and feel at home.

Casa Teresa
A very cosy option, perfect if you're travelling as a couple or with a small family. It has one bedroom, one bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen built into a comfortable living room to relax in. It also has its own private barbecue, ideal for enjoying meals outdoors in complete peace.

Casa David
Designed especially for 2 adults and 2 children, this house is practical and functional. It has one bedroom and one bathroom, and its big advantage is the location, right next to the heated pool, which makes it very convenient if you're travelling as a family.

Casa Antonio (our accommodation)

It was the house we stayed in and our favourite in the complex. It's the most spacious of all, making it ideal for families looking for comfort and space during their stay.

Casa Antonio, the best option for families

Of the three villas, Casa Antonio is the most spacious and the one we stayed in. It has two bright bedrooms and two full bathrooms with shower, towels, hairdryer and amenities (shower gel and shampoo), a detail you really appreciate when travelling. The living room is large and comfortable, with a television, sofas and board games to enjoy afternoons on the terrace playing as a family.

The kitchen is fully equipped: oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, toaster and a full set of utensils. Perfect if you're after accommodation with a kitchen in La Palma.

The outdoor terrace was one of our favourite spots: breakfasts with a view, coffees at sunset and relaxed moments while the girls played.

In short, Casa Antonio combines space, comfort and rural charm, making it an ideal option for families who want to feel at home in the middle of nature.

Communal areas at Villas Morera

One of the big draws of this accommodation is its communal areas:

The pool was, without a doubt, our daughters' favourite place. They spent hours playing while we relaxed in peaceful surroundings.

Did you know it's heated with solar energy?

Villas Morera's location in La Palma

One of the great advantages of Villas Morera is, without doubt, its location. Set in Breña Baja, a quiet area that perfectly combines peace with a good connection to the rest of the island. From here, everything is relatively close: the airport is just 15 minutes away, and a few minutes more and you can be strolling around Santa Cruz de La Palma.

The villas are surrounded by mountains, nature trails and green landscapes that invite you to switch off, without giving up comfort. Nearby you'll also find beaches, viewpoints and spectacular spots with the most beautiful views of the island.

Thanks to this strategic location, getting around La Palma by car was very easy and convenient for us.
