In the picturesque town of Agaete, this hotel has a subtle nautical theme and a fantastic spa to enjoy. Head down to the nearby beach for breath-taking scenery and a swim in the Atlantic Ocean.

Amazing hotel, place to disconnect and relax. The views and natural pools are just amazing.
Set in Agaete, Vilna House with private pool, jacuzzi and garden -Optional pool and jacuzzi heating offers a barbecue. Playa del Ingles is 24 mi from the property.

If you want to get a bit more remote and not in the high rise this is your spot. In the old town there's a few places to eat, don't leave it too lateen a Sunday or there's not much open.
The port is fine, plenty of restaurants you'd expect on the quay. Loved the swim pools, discovered them on our second last day & would have used them and the promenade more had I known!
The road south is great fun with epic views, but not for the faint hearted with tiny windy roads and potential rock falls if it's been raining.
Nice spot, nearby coffee plantations a great day trip.

Fish restaurants in the Puerto area are all brilliant.
Fish restaurants in the Puerto area are all brilliant.
Agaete town is quiet and sleepy, but lovely. Excellent coffee at the bakery. the Huertas de las Flores is a gorgeous and lush oasis of amazing trees and flowers.
the municipal library is a wonderful community space.
Excellent location and starting point for some really good hikes. Local public transport is really good. We took the local bus to Los Berrazales coffee place (finca la Laja), then walked back along the valley floor ('el valle' or 'el barranco').
Perfect place for a quiet holiday - lots of other visitors, but it is not a 'big resort' kind of place, just people who come for hiking and very good fresh fish!

Agaete has a magical spirit, which is hard to describe rationally. In the compact and pretty town center is a wide range of cafés, bars and restaurants. Narrow streets elevate the whole slope up to the topmost view. Often there is some music festival in the town. Surrounding mountain are always visible, being a background for small beautiful places that are worth to seek for. Neighbouring port town offers beaches, natural piscinas and more bars and cafés. Supermarket is located practically halfway between, together with a closed bath (also suitable for children) and gorgeous Hondo café, which would be a mistake not to visit. Agaete is easy to reach by car using highway, which is currently being extended further south. However, bus services are poor in speed due to detouring to many villages along the highway and often delayed, and most of all too infrequent except for the line to Las Palmas.

No hot water when arrived.
No hot water when arrived. Dodgy tap in a bathroom meant no hot water all the stay. Ants in a bathroom all ten days. Damaged bathroom door. No toaster. No "free toiletries or toaster" both advertised.
Sparse kitchen utilities. No pegs for hanging out washing. Two outside lights missing.
Contacted both booking.com, Holidu and the useless Victor Ramos. E mails over nearly all ten days, and the responses to all queries raised. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Victor exists to stall clients, do nothing and prevent money being spent. He blames the owners if he cannot do anything (he know exactly what he is doing ...........) Basically rubbish

We weren't that impressed about Agaete as there were only few shops and the local supermarkets had a rather modest choice of food. Agaete scores well in terms of atmosphere (old buildings, narrow roads, picturesque port) but you can't compare it with the much more lively, bustling Galdar. We liked the port area and the rock pools but didn't find them outstanding in any way. Agaete is certainly worth visiting but we felt it tends to get a bit overrated. For us Agaete was a great base for exploring the North and West of Gran Canaria but a bit less of a great destination on its own.

A small town with a number of small shops, two banks and a couple of places to eat out or take a coffee. There is no supermarket. There is a town square with a pretty church, but this is usually closed. The nearby Maipes archaeological park is well worth a visit. The botanical gardens are tiny but for €1, again worth a visit. From Agaete you can walk to Puerto de las Nieves in about 20 minutes (Spar supermarket en route) where you can enjoy the beaches, the natural swimming pools and watch the ferry going to a from Tenerife.
This is an extraordinarily nice place to spend a week, and we can't wait to return. Very close to the wild waters of the coast (and the amazing natural rock pools), as well as to the valley of Agaete and the restaurants of El Puerto de las Nieves. Invariably friendly and courteous service, warm and civilized atmosphere. Comfortable outdoor pool space, and the rooms with the sea view have unforgettable vistas.
An absolutely stunning property. A perfect stopover to end our long distance hike across the island. The house is incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated and the host was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The location is perfect and in a beautiful part of Agaete. What an incredible surprise to enter this wonderful property that has been finished with incredible detail.
Fantastic hotel & Resort.
We had a supremely easy check in and found our apartment to be spacious and comfortable. We loved our little private balcony with the views of the ocean.
There were plenty of activities offered by the hotel, including a bar and cafe/restaurant on site. The location was perfect with only a short 10-15 minute coastal walk to Playa de Amadores and Playa de Puerto Rico.
Just perfect! Very big and comfortable apartment with everything you need. The view from the living room is one of the best I had in my hole life during holidays. I regret we spend there only 2 days... :( I wish we could spend there all time, we were in Gran Canaria. And Sonia is the best host, thank you!
First of all, a big THANK YOU to Tomas and his son who took care of our stay so well! It was the perfect location for us: between Puerto de las Nieves on the coast and the very nice village of Agaete. It is also the perfect starting point for hiking tours in the Agaete valley.
Appartement is big and has everything you need. The pool is clean and not at all busy. Also seems very secured, you need keys for entering the pool area.
Overal location in Agaete is very nice, not super touristy but with enough nice places to go out for drinks and diner.
Fantastic location close walking distance to beach, restaurants, hikes, large Spar (grocery), and Agaete’s attractions. Secure underground parking. Host-owner is very responsive, welcoming, and helpful. Get José to tell you his two top restaurant recommendations.
We loved Agaete and this was a great stay, we felt at home.
The place was clean, kitchen had all the amenities we needed for cooking, the balcony was a great addition and communication with Paolo was smooth and friendly.
Would definitely recommend staying here!
It was a very good stay. The apartment is not big but a cozy one. The bed is comfortable, I like the quality cotton sheets. The outdoor space is very big, an awesome terrace. Agaete is a lively historical town, not to be missed. Owners are very pleasant
Lovely remote location, very kind and helpful host (Pablo), late check-out, fresh oranges to pick, incredible scenery, super accomodation and facilities. I thought I was ready with Gran Canaria after 3 visits, but now I wanna come back, for sure...
Great hotel with spa facilities, underground parking and huge rooms. Staff was very friendly. Excellent location, a stone throw away from the port and fish restaurant, less than 10 minutes walk from the natural pools.
The location of the hotel is perfect. Close to the natural pools and the harbor. The room has a balcony with sea view which is fantastic. The pool is huge and breakfast is good. You get everything you want.
Typical spanish town house. Situated in a living area of Agaete. Nice garden to sit outside for dinner. Perfect to discover the northwest of Gran Canaria.
We've stayed here before and enjoyed it both times. Hotel buffet dinner is good, and there are some lovely restaurants on the harbour a short walk away
