We stayed here recently for 6 nights on a walking holiday. The hotel is in the small town of Hermigua, set in a stunningly beautiful valley surrounded by high cliffs and lush green peaks. The rooms are simple, but very comfortable and pristinely clean. Alex runs the hotel with a mixture of friendliness and precision that is really very charming.... More

Me and my husband stayed in this beautiful hotel for two nights - having a holiday (La Gomera) in a holiday (Tenerife). We were met by Alex which is one of the most welcoming, friendly and helpful persons I have ever met. He speaks English, Spanish and German fluently and runs the hotel with his mother (does not speak English... More

Plenty of space to sit outside on the patio and there is also a sun terrace and garden within the seclusion of the... More

We arrived about 6pm, hot and exhausted after a 10-mile trek down from the Garajonay National Park and Dora was waiting for us, looking a little concerned for our wellbeing -- and not without cause! Dora's English is very limited (like our Spanish) but Alex had left a welcome letter in English, giving us the essentials. A glass of chilled... More

Stayed two nights on a walking holiday. The hostess was waiting anxiously for our arrival as we staggered in after the descent. Alex clearly explained what was happening with regards to taxis for dinner etc. Local restaurants are a taxi ride away but this was organised although the El Faro was definately our preferred meal of the two. The other... More

My partner and I spent 6 nights at this beautiful, cosy and quiet hotel (summer 2012). Alex, our host, was very kind and helpful. Everyday during breakfast he suggested nice hiking routes and beaches that were most suitable considering the weather. He made our stay an unforgettable and relaxing experience. We had a very clean and beautiful room (wooden ceiling,... More

We stayed here for 5 nights with the intention of hiking in the hills. Unfortunately the weather was terrible and we were only able to walk on 2 days. It was also very cold and there is no heating in the hotel. Our room was in the annexe and the wind whistled through the French windows. We had no kettle... More

We stayed here for 3 nights on our honeymoon. Alex was a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome in addition to pointing out all the best local restaurants and attractions. The room had high ceiling and felt large although it was quite compact. It also had a terrace with a spectacular view. Breakfast has a distinctly German feel... More
