Gato Azul Coliving

We had a fantastic workation at Gato. The integrated coworking space and the rooftop terrace are perfect for working remotely: ergonomic chairs, fast Wi-Fi, and monitors are available to borrow. Everything you need. The rooms and common areas are cozy and clean, so you immediately feel at home. Orotava itself is a really beautiful place, but you're pretty much stuck without a rental car. So definitely rent one! ;) And since La Orotava is in the north of the island, it's a bit cooler in the mornings and evenings than you might expect in Tenerife. A jacket/sweater and long pants are definitely necessary. ;) Nice bonus: The owners, Ingolf and Nana, are incredibly kind and helpful.

Gato Azul is a truly living, long-standing home! I spent 2 weeks there (far too short!). The place feels warm and homely. Wherever you look, you stumble upon little rays of beauty — in the crooked barrel on the porch, the carved dresser, the checkered tiles. You can relax in the garden, catch the sun with a coffee on the rooftop, stay up late talking with wonderful ppl. And La Orotava itself is one of the most beautiful towns on the island. After a full day of hiking, you can wander through charming streets without the overwhelming tourist noise. Beyond the beauty, there’s also a comfortable workspace, excellent organization, and Sonja, who took care of us, is incredibly helpful. I truly hope to visit Gato Azul again!
