My name is Kay Gonzalez and I am the owner of *Alberto Dorner - Boutique and Luxury Lodging*. Born in Germany of Canarian parents, raised in Canary Islands, went to college in Barcelona, Cologne and Bonn, lived the last 10 years in Chicago. Now, I'm back to Canary Islands, to the breeze at the beach, hiking the mountains, boating to hidden beaches. I enjoy meeting new people, showing my friends and guests the island, taking them to places they would never find by themselves. My goal is to have the most beautiful apartments on the island; my philosophy is that our guests are travelers, not tourists; my motto is authentic, individual, exclusive.

Luxury apartments with concierge service focused on an authentic experience. AD stands for Alberto Dorner, my father, who started our vacation rental enterprise. He inspired us to help our guests experience the local cultures, lifestyles and environments: climb the volcano, hike the hidden path, taste the secret wines in small wineries and have authentic island meals in that back patio in the mountains that only locals know about. We want our guests to discover Tenerife in a relaxed, safe, adventurous atmosphere. We are part of the local community and want to give back. We promote sustainable tourism, with fewer guests but more involved, interested in land and people, respectful with local traditions and culture. We are committed to preserve our environment for future generations, using environment friendly cleaning products and amenities and trying to have a low impact. We truly enjoy sharing our love for the island and its people with our guests. We work hard to make our guest’s stay a memorable, authentic experience. We always strive for the highest quality in everything we do, to be friendly, available, helpful and genuinely interested in our guests and their well-being.

Our properties are located on the north side of the island, an area with amazing nature, ranging from rainforests in the Anaga mountains to the desert in the Teno nature preserve, from the lava fields on the Teide crater to the volcanic beaches and basalt cliffs on the ocean. The villas are located in a quiet, upscale, residential neighborhood, a 3 minutes drive to the beach with its restaurants and 3 minutes up the mountain into town. It is perfectly located for exploring the island and for hiking. Nearby: beach and restaurants, shopping, groceries, golf, tennis, hiking, yachting, colonial town center with cafes, medical facilities, pharmacy, etc. We discovered the area and the first villa back in 2006 and immediately fell in love with the view. We bought and completely renovated it, turning it into elegant apartments with stunning views. We love the area so much, we bought the neighboring villa in 2014 and renovated it as well. In 2016 we bought a third villa. We always respect the local architecture and the environment. Every five years our wonderful interior designer gets to redo our apartments to make them more beautiful.
