There are towels, sheets, toilet paper and soap.The little kitchen has hot water, cooking gear, a microwave, a toaster and a coffee machine. There is  some basic food like olive oil, sugar and salt. The closet contains clothes hangers.

There is no international airport  in La Gomera. Normally you use the airport of Tenerife South and then you have a 30 minute drive to the ferry terminal of Los Christianos. The boat will take you in an hour to San Sebastian de la Gomera.

• Boat: There are two options for ferries to La Gomera . Check the timetables here: www.fredolsen.es and www.navieraarmas.com.

• Car: rent a car online with Cicar (allows for up to three drivers and they do not charge extra) at the airport or in the Port of San Sebastian de la Gomera. Fill the tank as there is no petrol station in Alojera.Playa de Alojera is a little over an hour drive from the ferry port of San Sebastian de la Gomera . The landscape is astonishing along the way. Try to avoid driving or arriving after sunset, especially in bad weather conditions.
• There is a small local airport in the south of La Gomera (Alajeró). With Binter Canarias you have connections to other Canary Islands such as Tenerife and Las Palmas.

It’s best to do your shopping in advance at Tu Trébol in San Sebastián.

On the small square in the center of the village of Alojera, there is a bar with a small shop, “Bar La Plaza”. You can usually also get something to eat there. It’s about a 30-minute walk from the beach (there is a footpath uphill that you can find on MAPS.ME or KOMOOT). By car, it takes about 8 minutes to drive up.

For larger shopping needs, you’ll need to go to the supermarket in Vallehermoso or Valle Gran Rey.

Don’t forget to buy water, as tap water has a poor taste.

There is a regular coffee machine and a moka pot, so it’s best to buy ground coffee.

Usually, there is an emergency supply of salt, pepper, olive oil, and vinegar. If the previous guests haven’t left any behind, you can also find these at Bar La Plaza.

The temperature on the Canary Islands allows for year-round swimming, but as this is the Atlantic Ocean, always beware of the waves. With low tide it is easier to enter and exit the water.

The sea is very close by. You hear the sound of the waves.  Some people prefer ear plugs to sleep.

The Rother walking guide of La Gomera exists in English, German and Dutch. You can buy it in specialised bookstores or online. The free app Maps.me (available in the Google Play Store) Komoot and all trails also has those hiking trails. The mountains can be misty and cold, so be sure to pack the proper equipment when preparing for a day hike (or even a shorter walk).

The housing comes with a rooftop sun deck equiped with sun loungers and parasols

In winter, we remove the parasols due to sudden gusts of wind. Please make sure to always store the parasols.

ATM’s are available at San Sebastian, Vallehermoso or Valle Gran Rey. For comfort, be sure to bring some cash tot the island. As for safety issues: there are none to worry about in Alojera.

Check in after 15:00, and check out before 11:00.

Arriving earlier and leaving later is sometimes possible if you are flexible with Ana doing the cleaning. We cannot foresee in advance whether other guests will depart or arrive that day. In this case, you can leave your luggage in the car or on the terrace and enjoy the surroundings

If no payment could be made in advance, a cash payment is required. You can pay to the cleaning lady . If you do not see her you can put the money in the key locker.

Park your car up the road and walk 160 meters  to the apartamentos ” Sunset in the Atlantic”
Bring along your printed booking details for the wifi code, the code of the key locker and the room number as there is no mobile internet on 4G available.

You walk via Bar Prisma to the sea, then turn right along the promenade until the last building, “Sunset in the Atlantic.” People with limited mobility may have difficulty with the stairs.

The apartment is normally for two people. However, there is a sofa bed in the living room for one or two children. For adults, it is not really comfortable as a bed. There is also a baby crib available. Please remind us the day before so we can set it up.

Bar Prisma is nearby and has excellent seafood. It’s closed on Wednesdays.

Bar La Plaza in the village of Alojera also has a limited menu.
