Vistalroque
$75-120 / malam
Pesan ini jika You want to trade the chaotic beach resorts for a silent, starry-skied hiker's lodge where the trail starts at your doorstep.
Mengapa Orang Menyukainya
- David, the owner, is a 'perfectionist' host who makes everyone feel like family
- Homemade breakfast served on a rooftop terrace with sweeping Atlantic views
- Direct access to the GR131 and Roque del Conde hiking trails (20m from the door)
Ringkasan Cepat: A spotless, soulful mountain guesthouse that feels magical if you hike, but might feel isolated (and rooster-loud) if you just want a beach flop.
Ditinjau oleh @MarieGracie5971255: I stayed here while exploring Arona and it was the perfect hiker's retreat. The rooftop terrace became my favorite spot to check the weather over the mountains. It's super clean, the kitchen has everything you need, and the host made me feel like a local immediately.

- You are a hiker or cyclist wanting to start your route immediately after breakfast
- You prefer authentic Canarian village life over English breakfasts and neon signs
- You appreciate a host who acts as a personal concierge for local tips

Is there a pool?

5 hal yang perlu Anda tahu sebelum pergi
💡The 'shared bathroom' is kept spotlessly clean, so it's less of a horror show than usual, but you might still wait in line.
💡You are effectively staying in a local's house; the vibe is communal, not anonymous.
💡The WiFi can be spotty due to the mountain location—don't plan on hosting Zoom webinars.
💡There is no elevator, so be prepared to carry luggage up narrow stairs.
💡The temperature here is consistently 3-5°C cooler than the coast, which is a blessing in summer but chilly in winter evenings.
