The distinctive pink hue of the former mansion of the Marquises of La Quinta Roja is a fine example of baroque architecture in the Canaries. What’s more, it gets even better once guests step inside, for the renovation is shown off to its fullest around the fantastic interior patio area. The original building is 16th century and was constructed following a royal donation from King Carlos and then further redeveloped in the next century. Although it somehow survived the volcanic eruption of 1706, it was badly damaged by a fire. Yet today the building stands renovated and refreshed, living out its former glory with a masterful design that is a true landmark of the area.
The original walls and beamed ceilings remain and house surprisingly spacious rooms (the double plus rooms and junior suites are the ones to go for to experience this at its best). All rooms and suites have modern amenities: music system, satellite TV, air-conditioning, a safe and free wi-fi internet access.
Although La Quinta Roja doesn’t have its own pool, this won’t be missed when guests can go to the nearby volcanic rock pool just down the road in which to swim. There is also a conventional swimming pool nearby. Meanwhile, to relax, there is a spa, sauna and solarium in which to rest those weary legs and recuperate (many guests like to trek or cycle in the surrounding area). Bicycles can be hired from the hotel. The Pigeon Loft lounge provides an attractive and more contemporary-looking space in which to look out over the historic town of Garachico and maybe read a book.
Garachico itself is a ‘casco histórico’, which means something akin to ‘historic town’. This means that the town around the hotel is almost exclusively made up of traditional buildings, appearing somewhat as though time has stood still, with old churches, restaurants and a tiny castle.

Reviews
Reviews from Little Hotels Travellers:
I think the existing reviews on this delightful hotel say it all already. Needless to say we had a lovely week, everyone at the hotel is so friendly and welcoming and we immediately felt relaxed and refreshed despite the drive there from the airport with the slightly scary hairpin bends for the last 8 kilometres down the mountain to Garachico!
On that we talked to the hotel and they recommended driving back to the airport the 'long' way around so heading towards the airport in the north of the island and then back round to the south. This has the advantage of being on motorway most of the way and so avoids all the climbing into the mountains and hairpin bends and took us just under an hour and a half including a stop for fuel. Its a much easier way to get to/from Garachico and takes no longer than what appears to be the 'direct' route. You might want to consider this as an alternative route?
You really don't want a big car to get around the streets in Garachico and they were keen to upgrade us at the airport with a more powerful car but that would make negotiating the narrow streets and finding a place to park much more difficult. We also used the buses locally and the service was excellent and very cheap.
Overall a really great holiday and somewhere we would definitely return to in the future. |
| Just not long home from an enjoyable week at La Quinta Roja. The hotel was very nice and very comfortable, the staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was good with a great variety, lovely courtyard to relax in and the jacuzzi was a nice treat. The room was good but had problem with the shower doors as they were hinged and impossible to open them without letting water on to the floor after a shower. Lovely quiet location in the main square. Overall a very good small hotel and enjoyed it so much we plan to return in the future. |
We stayed at the Quinta Roja in Garachico for a week. Fabulous hotel, super breakfasts, lovely people. Very highly recommended. Restaurants round about are also very good. We ate at Ardeola, La Perla and La Taskita de Eduardo, all highly recommended and very good value for money. Drive from the airport was fun!! especially if you like hair-pin bends.
Hope to travel with you again. |
| I was a little apprehensive about going to Tenerife thinking it might be a bit too lively but I was very pleasantly surprised by Garachico. This is a very relaxed little town, buzzing with locals and some tourists. There is an excellent choice of restaurants and La Quinta Roja was an extremely comfortable hotel.
This holiday has changed my view of Tenerife and we would definitely consider it again as a winter destination. |
I have recently returned from holiday at the hotel Quinta Roja which we booked through little hotels, the hotel was exactly as your web site described it, I found your site very good and easy to use in fact I am about to book another holiday through yourselves in the next few days, I shall also give your car hire a try.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance. |

A beautifully restored hotel in a traditional Tenerife town. This hotel had been on our want-list for a long time.
