I really liked the Hotel Rural Senderos de Abona. It was away from crowds,old and interesting, the food was nice and the people/owners and the gardens. I stayed in a villa after the hotel and for a while I missed staying in the Hotel /senderos. The beach and airport are not far and possibly the most interesting road up the mountain starts near the hotel. If i was ever to go to Tenerife again I would stay there again, at least for a few days.

Not a hotel to stay in if you go to Tenerife for winter sun, being away from the coast it was several degrees cooler during the day and very cold at night. The small heater in the room was barely enough to make any difference at all. The hotel is family run, so much so that we often felt as if we were intruding in someone else's house. Not somewhere we would stay again.

Lovely hotel with local flavour, well away from the tourist trail - just what we were looking for. Restaurant food fresh, high quality and not overly complicated.
We will continue to use your website.

We had a lovely one night stay at the above hotel in Granadillo, Tenerife.

This hotel is amazing-full of charm and character with the rooms being dotted around in between a luscious garden where you can pick and eat your own bananas and oranges There are lots of places to sit and relax amongst the flowers and birds and a small pool, although unheated, makes a refreshing dip if you overheat.

Dinner in the evening was delicious-authentic local cuisine cooked superbly (we had dorada and rabbit) and some good local wines too. Service very friendly and knowledgeable and a traditional dining room with portraits of the family around the walls.

Breakfast is self service and can be taken on a cobbled terrace overlooking the church and square. With its location high up in the mountains but just 8km from the airport it is a refreshing change from the crowds on the beaches down below.

Highly recommended.

This is non-touristy, very Spanish (very little English spoken...but that's part of the fun) and very quirky.....(from the terrace to the terrapin.....and from the parrot to the pool*!!).

Breakfast is taken self-service style in the cosy restaurant (where dinner is also served)...with the family who own the hotel...Grandad, Grandma, two kids and , while we were there, three grand-kids!...again, part of the charm of the place.

The family were very friendly and helpful and it felt like staying in someone's home, rather than in a hotel.

Parts of the hotel need to be seen to be believed...the bar-cum-bar/dining room being one of them....Not the sort of place you'd allow toddlers to career about or where you'd invite your friend from the Health and Safety Executive...but excellent nonetheless as it's a museum/collection of industrial/artisan bric-a-brac ...

* the pool and terrace are small but ideal for a quiet relax in between sight-seeing forays...

The double room we stayed in was spacious and spotless and the hotel staff did an excellent job.

We stayed a week and whilst the self-serve breakfast varied little, the meats and cheeses, cereals and fruit (especially the melons) etc were great...

We only had dinner there once and that was fine...but we like our variety and ate out most nights**.

The hotel is an excellent base to explore the island...far enough away from the more touristy bits, but close to the main communication links and only 20 mins from the airport...

...and ...as for the Church bells ...well, you'll either learn to ignore them or they'll drive you to distraction!

The Church/bells are right next to the hotel and they 'go off' every quarter of an hour ...24/7!

**Recommended restaurant by a country mile....is La Tasca Cantera...(turn right out of hotel to main road ..turn left and it's a quarter of a mile down on the left. All you'll see is a not-very obvious sign on the wall near to the Ferreteria (don't ask!)...with the restaurant tucked away in the adjoining courtyard.

The food and friendliness were the best we have experienced for an aeon...and we reckon ourselves to be seasoned travellers!

Everything was fresh...with most of the produce coming from the finca/farm above the restaurant (We won't spoil the surprise, but the interior of the restaurant is simple...but lovely)..

The owner, who could speak few words of English was a treat...friendly, amusing and very accomodating. After a lengthy exchange, where we were half-communicating over the menu of the day...he asked us to 'trust him'...and said he'd just keep serving us until we said 'stop'....

Five courses of the most delicious sequence of unusual tapas and 'mains'...(which represented some seriously-good food)... later, we 'surrendered'...but he still presented us with a wonderfully light 'postre'....and a 'date liqueur'....5* eating!! (and the wine was good as well!)...at sensible/reasonable prices.

This hotel has a wonderful, rustic charm, but coupled with all the facilities you could possibly want on holiday.

The family who own and run the hotel did everything possible to make our stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible and we spent a very pleasant week in the heart of 'real Tenerife'. We would have no hesitation in recommending both the hotel and the area to anyone wishing to visit Tenerife, and we hope to return at some point in the future.

We have just returned from our Tenerife holiday in the Senderos. The hotel was excellent in all respects. we asked for a junior suite and were given the biggest room ever, furnished beautifully with antique/repro fittings. The bathroom was also excellent with unlimited hot water and clean towels.

All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, despite the fact that most of them did not speak English! We loved the small town and the area, a world away from the nightmare coast of Tenerife, where we ventured one day, to convince ourselves that there are two Tenerifes and most people only see the trashy one.

Staying in Granadilla was like staying in Spain 50 years ago, long may it stay that way, we will certainly go back.

As to the hotel, we could not fault it and would love to go back.

Many thanks and good luck to your company.
