Hello and welcome ✨
My name is Tess.
A travel soul born I the south of France, After many years of traveling the world, I chose to settle in Tenerife, where I created my own oasis Gurugu.
Gurugu is a historic home with soul, located in the north of the island. It is much more than a house to me — it is a place I have carefully restored and nurtured with intention, respect, and love. My vision was to create a space where people can truly feel at home, slow down, and reconnect with what matters.
Over time, I have welcomed guests from all over the world, and what I value most is creating an atmosphere based on trust, clarity, and mutual respect. I take great care of the house, and I appreciate guests who do the same — treating it not simply as a rental, but as a living space to be respected and enjoyed.
Gurugu is especially suited for those who are looking for a calm, elegant and inspiring environment — whether to work remotely, rest, or share meaningful moments together.
Depending on the time of year, I also host guests individually through what I call the “Gurugu Residency” — a more immersive experience centered around living, connecting, and creating together.
I am always happy to share local recommendations, assist when needed, and ensure your stay is smooth, comfortable and aligned with the spirit of the house.
If this resonates with you, it will be a pleasure to welcome you.
Warm regards,
Tess
