“Perfect for mountain walkers seeking isolation!”

Fantastic views and isolation perfect for mountain hikers wanting local base.

Lovely host, gave us lots of useful recommendations for the island in general, beautiful home that is decorated with lots of care, highly recommend staying here!! You don’t have any data or wifi, but it’s a great place to go for hikes and be away from your phone.

I absolutely loved coming here. It is a typical cave-house, and it is beautiful. The garden, the quiet, the view, the silence, the walks, the owner, his charming father, the care they put into making sure you are comfortable. But it's even more than that: this is one of those special bookings. It is a unique site which you will not forget. Whether you go with either your friend, your life partner or your family, sitting on the patio to look at the sunset, or going for an easy or short hike in the amazing hills around you will be part of your life memories. I am so glad we decided to book this unique site! Make sure to pack warm clothing.

“If you want to disconnect from the city life and spend time hiking in the mountains, this is a great location to stay.”

The remote location, the garden and the magnificent view

“Peaceful house in nature”

The view and peacefulness were amazing. Also the host Pablo is an amazing and helpful guy.

“Great hiking location”

Perfect little house for hiking in the area. Great view from the terrace. Lovely garden with oranges. Very friendly and helpful host.

“A very special and wonderful experience!”

We had a wonderful time in the charming and marvellous old finca (spanish farm stone cottage) which is located in the most beautiful area of the island Gran Canaria in the north-west close to the Valle de Agaete surrounded by green mountains called "los Andes Verdes" (green Andes). At each corner of the finca we had a marvellous view to the nature and mountains, especially from the terrace we enjoyed it so much. Our host Pablo and his father were very friendly and highly supportive and brought us wonderful fruit from their own plants which are growing all around the house so we had every day the best fresh breakfast directly from the garden, what a wonderful present! For check-in, Pablo picks you up from the closest parking (called "Parking público El Sao de Agaete") and brings you up to the finca in his 4x4 manual SUV as you can't reach the house with a rented SUV. He also brings you back to the parking at checkout. So make sure, before you go to the place to buy your food in advance before check-in in a local supermarket (eg. HiperDino in Gáldar) to assure the SUV transport to the house :) Otherwise you need to carry everything on your own 15min on an extremely steep path hiking all the way up ;) In the morning you will meet Pablos father and his dog Aria taking care of the plants and building the area all around the house. The dog was very friendly as well and is a typical Canarian race. (In case you are afraid of big dogs you should let Pablo know and he will leave him in a protected place) We highly enjoyed the house and area and did many different hikes all around and nearby (eg. to a restaurant in El Hornillo). We even hiked and walked from El Sao to Agaete and Puerto de las Nieves (11km one way) through the marvellous mountains and valley of Agaete. In Puerto de las Nieves you can have delicious waffles and icecream at the supermarket SPAR in the centre (hint: try the Turrón ice cream there!

“Super!”

Lovely remote location, very kind and helpful host (Pablo), late check-out, fresh oranges to pick, incredible scenery, super accomodation and facilities. I thought I was ready with Gran Canaria after 3 visits, but now I wanna come back, for sure...
