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.

If you want to wake up with the sound of the surf at your front patio, have guaranteed free parking, (which is at a premium in this area), want a very clean space with a responsive host, this is the place to stay! A 3 minute walk along the oceanfront promenade to the port and all its restaurants and the sights of the harbor. One comfortable queen bed, two twin beds. Guide books, and brochures in the apartment to help explore the island. Though we did not utilize it, washing machine available.
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.
Priceless views. Very comfortable apartment. Enough space for 4, preferable 2 adults + 2 children but would serve 4 adults as well. Spacious living room with kitchen and excellent outside area, small garden with sun chairs and terrass with table and chairs. Access to swimming pool with also stunning views. We had all we could need. Area is also perfect, close to port and center of the small town of Agaete, both ways 15-20 min walk. You gave parking place in the garage, waching machine etc. We would definitely come back.
The setting is very romantic and beautiful. Set overlooking the sea in a very rural part of Gran Canaria with excusite vistas. Our sea view room was large, and the beds were super comfortable. There was also a lovely balcony. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. This hotel appears to generally cater for all-inclusive, but we just did B&B. There is a beautiful restaurant at the puerto called Ragu which has outstanding Italian food and I would highly recommend. We will definitely return to this hotel and Agaete.
Location was good, an easy walk to the town and beach. Grounds were well maintained and the pool area was lovely. Comfortable seating in the apartment. One of our party used a wheelchair but there was a ramp and lift so it suited our needs perfectly.
The town was small enough with a pretty harbour, spectacular views and some wonderful restaurants that were reasonably priced.
Agaete has a beautiful natural lido area, we loved it!
Would recommend highly this property and resort.
The house is beautifully decorated with all of the appliances and utensils you require to be able to live as comfortably as you would in your own house. The views are amazing and the terrace is a little piece of heaven in Agaete. The hosts are extremely helpful and super fast at responding to any questions we had before, during and even after our stay. If you are planning on visiting the North West of Gran Canaria, then this is the place to stay. We both loved it!!!!
Beautiful apartment with large balcony with dining table, sun loungers and a great view. In the centre of Agaete, right by free parking. Very helpful and responsive staff. A couple of minor issues occurred & they were fixed immediately.
We stayed a week. In February most restaurants in Agaete Town were only open at the weekend. We were happy though to walk (20 mins) to restaurants by the port. You could also cook in the spacious kitchen/dinner if you wanted to.
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.
We loved the location, suite was very clean & tidy, Agaete is a lovely town nice restaurants, the suite is just short safe lit path from the salt baths and further onto port restaurants, it has a lovely old town area and some good nearby cultural sites to visit, some nice hiking routes nearby also.
We had some issues but were in communication with the booking.com rep
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!
Overall amazing apartment equipped with basically everything you'd need for your stay. Extra nice were the terrace view, tasteful interior, the excellent cleanliness and the jacuzzi. We really enjoyed our stay in Agaete, absolutely loved the natural pools and the Tamadaba National Park! :-)
We like it's central location in Agaete a beautiful village.
Traditional decoration, high ceiling and modern shower rooms.
The host Raul was very very helpful throughout our stay even brought the Roscon De Reyes--- a special cake for us.
Thanks you very much Raul for everything.
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
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.
Very peacefully, authentic older hotel and comfortable. Set in a stunning valley with excellent walks which is what we wanted. Staff were very helpful.
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
