Renters FAQ
Why a rental property instead of a hotel?
On initial inspection, you may be fooled into thinking that a hotel is the cheapest
and most appropriate option for your Tenerife vacation, but once you begin to
consider and see the many luxurious Tenerife rental properties within each of the
many areas of Tenerife, the disadvantages of a hotel becomes apparent.
Total privacy, no matter what type of rental accommodation you choose, such as a
Tenerife Apartment, detached villa or Townhouse, the whole of the property is
yours for the full duration of your vacation. This ultimate flexibility and space,
is unrivalled, and allows you to come and go as you please no matter what time of
day or night. Many rentals properties offer flexible check in/out times to ensure
that you get the very best value for money.
Many hotels struggle to offer accommodation for larger families and groups
travelling together. This results in the need for multiple rooms thereby increasing
the cost of your accommodation. Our Tenerife rental properties can accommodate in
excess of 16 people in a single detached villa, and there is no need to worry about
the number of bathrooms, as many properties offer them in abundance, ensuring
that everyone is catered for. Some properties even offer the luxury of having two
master en suite bedrooms, which is ideal when two families or groups travel together.
Location is always high on the priority list when considering where to book
your accommodation,. All of our featured communities are within easy reach of
all the major attractions, shopping malls and golf courses etc, as well as having
a host of local shops and restaurants nearby.
The facilities in our Tenerife rental properties ensure that everything you need
to enjoy your holiday in Tenerife is provided, without any extra cost to you.
For those who prefer to travel light, many properties have a fully functioning
laundry room, complete with washing and drying machines, so there is no need to
take all those clothes, and unlike hotels, there is no extra charge for the use
of these appliances. Other popular facilities include cable TV, games console(s),
telephone, Internet PC and many more. So if you would prefer a day at home with
your family or friends, without the noise and distraction of other tourists, no
problem many properties include your very own private swimming pool. Or perhaps
it's a quiet family meal you prefer, simply buy your own produce from the local
supermarket before returning home to your very own fully equipped kitchen where
you prepare and enjoy your meal together in the privacy of your own home or on
your very own terrace. This can be a welcome change, and indeed a great deal
cheaper than having to eat out each night in any one of the many restaurants on
offer in Tenerife. Then after diner and whilst the dishwasher is on, perhaps you
would like to relax outside, perhaps take a walk or enjoying a leisurely swim.
Then it's back inside to watch some cable TV before retiring to your very own
separate bedroom.
You may be asking "But what about the cost?" This we feel is something, which
you the renter need to decide upon and research, as each property has a price
specific them. Each rental property has an individual page which shows what
features and facilities are on offer, if you have any other questions about a
specific property, then please do not hesitate to contact the owner direct with
the use of their personal contact details as also shown on the property page.
What type of rental properties, are available?
Direct Villas Tenerife offers a variety of accommodation to those looking to
rent their very own property. The main types of accommodation are Tenerife villas,
townhouses and apartments.
Tenerife Villas are quite simply detached properties, which come complete with
everything you require, including in most cases with that all-important private
pool. Villas come in a variety of sizes and floor plans, and as such are suitable
for all sizes of travelling parties. Both single storey and two storey properties
are available.
Townhouses in Tenerife offer terraced or semi detached style accommodation, which
is spacious and can also accommodate large travelling parties. Although some town
homes have pools attached, many do not. To compensate for this, many communities
offering this style of accommodation also feature extensive recreational features
including large pools. A cheaper option to that of renting a Tenerife villa,
townhouses are growing in popularity.
Tenerife apartments are also growing in popularity, many offering space and
facilities equal to that available within some townhouses. The larger resorts
such as Costa Adeje, have undergone substantial development resulting in some
of Europe's most up to date and exclusive apartments.
What facilities are in each property?
Each property listing has comprehensive details of all the facilities available
at the property. These include such items as a domestic telephone, Internet PC, spa,
children's crib etc. In the event of you requiring confirmation about anything specific,
then you should contact the owner direct via your preferred means.
How do I pay for my accommodation?
All property owners will confirm the ways in which you can pay for the accommodation.
This will appear on the individual property-listing page.
Are pets/smoking allowed in the properties?
Many properties do not allow smoking within them at any time, confirmation of this
can be obtained from each individual property listing in the form of an icon.
In comparison, many more owners do allow pets to accompany visitors. Again this
information is available from the respective property listing in the form of an icon.
Remember if you are unsure about any aspect of a property and the terms and conditions
associated to it, simply ask the owner for confirmation.
Is there a discount for longer stays?
Many property owners offer discounted rates for stays in excess of 14 nights. Each
offer is subject to availability and the rate of any discount, is set by the respective
property owner.
Do I need a hire car?
The simple answer to this is yes. Without the use of a vehicle, your stay will be inhibited.
Public transport is not as widely available as it is in countries such as the U.K, therefore
to ensure you get the most out of your Tenerife vacation, a hire car is a must. The most
popular and trusted hire companies are situated at the major airports, making the whole
process of picking up your rental vehicle so much easier. For a quote please use our hire
car quotation facility.
Where is each villa located?
Our interactive mapping system identifies the exact location of each of the many Tenerife
resorts/communities, along with the location of other facilities such as airports, theme
parks and other areas of interest. Each Tenerife resort/community page shows the distance
to all major theme parks and airports within the area.
What is the average temperature in Tenerife?
This chart shows the average monthly temperatures, daily hours of sunshine and average
rainfall for the state of Tenerife.
How can I confirm that a Property is suitable for disabled access/occupation?
Each villa showing the appropriate disabled icon indicates that the property has been
designated by the owner as being suitable for disabled visitors. To ensure that the property
conforms to your specific requirements, contact with the owner is advised. In the unlikely
event of incorrect information being given, Direct Villas Tenerife requires notification,
so to allow us to amend or remove the listing as required. Each disabled friendly property
can be identified directly from the search facility, which allows a search to be made
ensuring that only disabled friendly properties are shown in the results.
What do I do if I have any problems whilst staying at the property?
Each Tenerife rental property owner has a designated property management company,
who maintains the property in the absence of the owner. It is the responsibility of
each property management company to ensure any problems encountered by a renter is
addressed at the earliest opportunity. Details, including a telephone contact number
of the management company should be obtained prior to your departure.
Are welcome packs available?
Many owners offer welcome packs that include essential provisions to ensure that you
have everything you require for your first night. In addition to this specific items
can also be requested. This service is normally a payable extra, the cost of which
should be confirmed with the owner prior to departure.
Is there a house keeping service available?
Although each property includes a vacuum cleaner, and other such items, some owners via
their respective property management companies offer interim cleaning services. It must
be noted that such services are a chargeable extra, the cost of which should be
confirmed with the owner prior to departure.
Where can I get a hire car suitable for disabled drivers/usage?
Most of the major car hire companies offer adapted vehicles for use by disabled
visitors. To obtain a free no obligation quote for your specific type of hire
vehicle, go to our hire car section.
