The tea and coffee facilities - we would have liked to be able to make our own in our room - or at least have full access to boiling water etc.

It is the most wonderful location - to be able to sit outside at breakfast and enjoy that spectacular view - while being waited on, was the highest luxury and greatest delight.

Limited local dining options in the nearest local town in the evening (possibly because of the time of year or because it was a Monday when we needed transport) and lack of taxis from the town. Fortunately the excellent value Casa Lolo was 15 minutes' walk away while the fabulous Casa Romantica about 30 minutes away but not open in the evening.

Stunning location with amazing views up the valley and of the surrounding mountains. Lots of great hikes nearby.

The access to the hotel needs addressed. Definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. We had the evening meal a couple of times-although not expensive, menu could be much improved.

The location of this small hotel was really beautiful- set in a luscious valley. The rooms were furnished with antiques and were spacious. Pool area was lovely, staff friendly and breakfast good. The view from the breakfast terrace was really nice. Our bedroom was large and well furnished and bathroom good. Car hire essential.

The lane connecting it to the main road was narrow and bumpy The dinner option could be improved

Lovely breakfast on terrace with splendid views of the valley Beautiful setting in a lush valley - palm trees, orange groves, a cactus garden… Building is a 19th century country house, elegantly furnished with antiques - the feel is of being a guest at a private house, much more enjoyable than an impersonal, characterless hotel experience. But you feel free to roam and use the gorgeous drawing room , reading room with vast windows and views all the way to the sea… yes, some of the furnishings are a bit worn - but such beautiful fabrics and original pieces!

The staff should speak at least a couple of words in english. Only the manager could speak english.

The hotel is in a beautiful place, the breakfast was really good (you can pick from a list what you want, and the staff will bring it to you)

Swimming pool is clean, though I would recommend to remove the little leafs this would look prettier (but I m control freak)

Little paradise in a green valley, next to the lovely Aegete village and a little harbor. Historic house, with a lot of charm, in the middle of a fruit garden. We had a large double room, totally calm and cool even during warm days (loved the decoration of the bathroom). For the breakfast (a la carte and prepared a la minute, with fresh products) you will face the wonderful valley and hear little birds. Staff is professional and friendly. There are not too many rooms and most of the time you feel you are alone in this big property and this is just perfect to relax (cannot describe the feeling but it just feels wonderful and relaxing). There is a swimming pool and e Bike rental options (did not try). In the evening, they offer dinner options, otherwise you can try one of the tapas restaurants in Aegete or the sea food restaurants from the harbor (highly worth the visit), and finish with a walk to the natural swimming pools on the sea side. I can only recommend this place (wish we would could have stayed longer).

We had a three course dinner in this fab hotel one night for only €17.. The main dinner was tasty but the pudding could have been much better. We think they should charge higher price but improve the menue. However this is only a constructive recommendation .

Perfect service from the management (Lourdes), atmosphere, location , peace and tranquility. Staff were all very curteous and under perfect management of Lourdes one would not expect otherwise.

we had dinner on two occasions - food was adequate but nothing to write home about.

breakfast was great - nice selection of foods and wonderful views from terrace. Nice gardens to wander round, fun to pick fruit from organge trees etc.

Nothing to dislike really. The diner is convenient and functional home cooked food. Adequate, but look elsewhere if you want a more indulgent feast.

Exquisitely located old Canarian working finca set in a beautiful valley amongst palm trees and vines. Great place to relax and friendly atmosphere amongst guests and staff. Feels more like a homestay than a hotel in its cosiness. The downstairs rooms opened directly to the courtyard which gave them a nice sense of space.

Evening meal menu was not the quality i expected.

the hotel is in a wonderful location, breakfast views were spectacular. Room was nice and quiet

Stayed in June 2021

The shower slider was broken. The loo wasn’t fixed to the floor so that when I reached sideways to get the loo roll it tipped! Terrible thin loo roll 😬. The mattresses were very hard, I was fine but my husband couldn’t sleep and was very stiff each morning despite the hotel kindly putting a quilt on top of the mattress. This is what made us leave two days early. The breakfasts, that previously had been a glorious buffet were presented as a not terribly clear list on a piece of paper tick box. We didn’t discover until the second last day that there was Spanish Serrano ham available, the ham listed that we tried on day one was ‘plastic’ reconstituted.

We last stayed here in 2018. The location is mainly what drew us back, in the green valley of Agaete. The pool area is comfortable, lovely to lie on the loungers under the orange trees with the scent of blossom. The staff are charming. The water is hot, the room (2) large and airy. The restaurants just down the road in Puerto de las Nieves are very good, delicious food and not expensive, we went down each evening.

Dinner was extremely poor. Apparently they had no chef and precooked food was brought in

Food was fair. Location excellent

Terrible food. Room cold and damp, bathroom window did not close, bugs fluttering in at night, damp towels, poor lighting, in general dismal atmosphere.

The history and furnishings

Stayed in February 2023

It looks underfunded and understaffed. It needs a jolly good tidy up, it's too shabby and unkept. Very little atmosphere. A pity as it's essentially a beautiful place that has heaps of potential.

We were excited to visit this hotel as we loved the fact that it was a beautiful old family home/finca, located on a plantation in a beautiful valley. We had a pleasant stay, but really the place looks tired and so much more could be done to make it amazing. It has so much potential, but you get the sense that it is underfunded and under staffed. Perhaps it's fallen on hard times due to the pandemic, who knows. We had a pretty bedroom, but our ensuite shower room was small and the loo smelt at times. We had dinner there one evening which was underwhelming (expect average home cooked food) although it was very inexpensive. There was no atmosphere in the dining/lounge areas which was uninviting. The communal areas look shabby, no one seems to make any effort to tidy them. There are various window blinds that are broken and just hanging unusable. The pool area was lovely and peaceful and the breakfast was good. The views are beautiful. The gardens and surrounding orchids are really unkept and look really sad. We felt the overall experience should've offered up more for the price we paid.

We went in December and it was a little hard to find good local places to eat in the evening but Agaete is a nice town.

Very peacefully, authentic older hotel and comfortable. Set in a stunning valley with excellent walks which is what we wanted. Staff were very helpful.
