Accommodations

Designed to make you feel right at home, provide ample space for groups, or offer elegant spaces for extended stays, the residences at Leiro celebrate beauty in the details and the importance of tranquility.

Couples or small groups can opt for intimate Studios, stylish Suites, or polished Sky Villas – penthouses that feature separate living rooms, indoor and outdoor kitchens, a private swimming pool, a solarium, and an outdoor terrace. For larger groups, consider the majestic four-bedroom Villas, which are equally as luxurious as the Sky Villas but with a movie theater, wine cellar, sauna, and hot tub on the terrace as well.

A wonderful stay exceeding expectations

Tue May 13 2025 11:54:09 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Nomad371557

Our stay has been wonderful! The apartments are beautiful and have everything you could possibly need. All the staff are so helpful and nothing is too much to ask for. Paula and Roman have gone above and beyond to make the stay special, we are out here for my partners birthday and they have arranged a special surprise for him to celebrate his day. Over and above that, they are always on hand to assist and communication is via WhatsApp, making it quick and responsive, they are also always on the front desk if you ever need anything! The staff in all the restaurants and bars are so friendly and the food and drinks are delicious! We will certainly be back again!

Fantastic place - we already look forward to the next visit

We are a family of 4 and had a wonderful stay at Leiro Residences in a 2 bedroom suite. The rooms are brand new, large and of very high standard - only thing you could criticize is that design in some cases has won over functionality a bit too much (e.g. a hanger for the towel near the shower door would have been nice, but it just wouldn’t match the clean design). The toilet bed and bath is fully integrated with the bedroom, which looks extremely cool but also require very close relations with the one you are sharing the room with. There is a fully functioning integrated kitchen in the suite and a fantastic terrasse with private heated spa. Service and friendliness from staff is amazing - everyone are smiling and helpful and there are many small surprises coming to your door (special thank you to Paola), amenities are beyond great with full access to pools and the large sportsclub at the Higueron Hotel, which Leiro Residences are integrated with although Leiro is a fully separate entity. Location is good but in the middle of a large residential area meaning that there is quite a walk (or shuttlebus/taxi ride) to the nearest store and other restaurants. There are a however several restaurants at Higueron hotel, which are all from good to outstanding but expensive. All in all: We already look forward to the next visit :-)
