Welcome to Hyggeland

oasis of peace under palm trees

Our two apartments are named after the places that have shaped us in our lives:

Our winter domicile the last few years was the Valle Gran Rey on La Gomera, the „Valley of the Great King“, named after the king of the Guanches, the indigenous people of La Gomera. This is why the upper apartment, which towers over Hyggeland, is called „Großer König“, German for „Great King“ – with bedroom, cosy livingroom with sofa bed, bathroom, sea and sunset view balcony and kitchen right next door.

Barbara lived in Italy for a few years, had a B&B there once and still loves the country and its people, so our second apartment is called „Kleiner Italiener“ which is German for “Little Italian”, Mediterranean style with an open livingroom/kitchen area, shower room and seating area in front. Marcel is from Hamburg and Barbara also spent some wonderful years in this Hanseatic city. This is why the bedroom belonging to the apartment, situated in an antique Canarian stonehouse next door is called „Seute Deern“, “Sweet Girl” in a northern German dialect, with a small terrace under an orange tree in front and garden view.

Besides renting out the Hyggeland it is a meeting place for our guests, the villagers and day visitors from the island. We are planning open-air cinema, chill evenings in the illuminated palm grove, yoga, art or craft workshops and much more.

And there is also a Hyggeshop with typical island products: Palm honey from our neighbour, organic wines from the island, organic coffee supporting a coffee project on Gomera and arts and crafts from local artists.
