Minola Ilica
I spent just over 2 weeks at EcoIsleta and found it to be a truly beautiful experience. The place feels like a home, and during my stay it came with a wonderful group of people who quickly felt like a quirky little family that I was lucky to be part of. I also had the chance to connect with both the local scene—which EcoIsleta is clearly involved in—by attending a neighborhood recycling event, as well as with the wider traveler/expat community. Because the place is located in a quiet local neighborhood, yet just a couple of minutes from the beach and the more touristy area, it really offers the best of both worlds. With most of the colivers working too, the atmosphere stayed calm and focused during the week and became pleasantly livelier toward the weekend (exactly what I was hoping for!). Not to say that, if you were looking for something more active during the week, it would be difficult to find—plenty of options are close by. The facilities met all my needs, with a great co-working environment in the shared kitchen and a wonderful rooftop terrace. My room (La Gomera) was compact but very comfortable. All in all, I had an excellent experience and genuinely look forward to returning.
