Holiday homes on La Palma: AI photo comparisons and 75 virtual tours

Both photos show the kitchen of the Ático Lúa holiday apartment in Puerto Naos. For this comparison, we used AI to add flowers, plants, a fruit basket and other decorative touches to a copy of our photo. Which details were actually there on the day?

For our second example, we deliberately went over the top with AI editing on a photo we took at the Casa Nazaret holiday home in Puntagorda.

The edited image shows a family at a table laid for Christmas, lavish decorations, snow outside the window and even a reindeer at the patio door. We made up the scene to illustrate what AI can do.

Photos give you a first impression of the light, the rooms, the furnishings and the surroundings. A digitally added armchair can turn an empty corner into what looks like a cosy reading nook. New décor can make even an older photo look as though it was taken recently or the room has just been redecorated.

Imagine seeing a breakfast tray with cups and crockery on the bed. You might look forward to having breakfast that way on holiday, then look for the tray when you arrive. It may have been brought in for the shoot. With AI editing, it could have been added on screen. Even the crockery in a photo can shape what you picture for your stay.

If almost every photo shows lavish bouquets or the table is laid down to the last detail, take a look at the other pictures. See whether they show the same spot from different angles. Is there a bouquet on the table in one picture that’s missing or a different colour in another? Those differences are a reason to look more closely.

Flowers can be replaced between photo shoots, and a table can be laid especially for the camera.

At Clariso – Ferienhäuser La Palma, we photograph properties as we find them on site. We keep staging to a minimum and never add flowers, furniture or other objects when editing our property photos. We focus on the rooms, furnishings and amenities that were there on the day.

To give you a closer look, we also create virtual tours on site. They show the property as we found it when we captured it, and we don’t add objects afterwards. With 25 new virtual tours, you can now choose from 75 tours of holiday houses, apartments and other accommodation on La Palma.

In a virtual tour, you can change your viewpoint and see how the different areas connect. How is the furniture arranged? How do you get from the living room to the terrace? Are the bedrooms close together or apart? This helps you decide whether the layout suits a trip as a couple, with family or with friends. If a detail matters to you, check it against the amenities list or ask us directly.

For each tour, we schedule a visit to the property and then process the footage for the virtual viewing. We also invest in equipment and cover the ongoing costs of hosting and maintaining the tours. It’s work we’re happy to do so you can get to know your accommodation before booking.

Open the list of holiday accommodation on La Palma and choose a property you’d like to explore before booking.

1. In the property listings and search results. When a tour is available, you’ll see a “Virtual Tour available” button on the right. You can tell at a glance which houses and apartments you can visit virtually.
2. On the property page. If a tour is available, use the yellow button on the right to open it.
3. Inside the tour. Move through the areas we captured, look around and check the details that matter to your stay.

You can also view the floor plan to get a better sense of the layout. The measurement tool gives approximate dimensions and distances, which can help you judge how much space there is. Many tours also let you explore the garden and other outdoor areas.

Our new tours include more houses, apartments and rooms at Hotel Rural Los Piratas. Here are a few you can explore before your trip.

Next time you’re looking for a place to stay, take a moment to open the virtual tour on the property page. Explore the rooms from different viewpoints. If there’s a detail that matters to your stay, just ask us.
