“Beautiful, peaceful location - excellent choice!”
Situated just outside of the lovely town of Frontera (2/3 minute drive) this property is blessed with location, stunning views, peace and tranquillity. The apartments, whilst compact and basic, have everything you need for a very relaxing 2/3 day stay. Special thanks and commendation to our host Burhy who was not only welcoming and very knowledgeable about the local area but went well beyond his remit in helping us through a bit of a medical issue, bringing us to the local clinic, waiting for over an hour and a half and helping translation where required. Can't thank him enough for his genuine concern and selfless help!! We will be back.

Our stay in El Sitio was very pleasant and peaceful. The mini-house Salmor we were lucky to call home in Frontera was one of the cutest places we have ever stayed at. The pictures presented are very accurate. The hosts were very kind and helpful.

Amazing stay! The location is perfect, with stunning views of the mountains and ocean. It’s on a quiet street with easy parking. The room and outdoor areas are beautifully decorated, with lots of thoughtful details. The kitchen was well-equipped with high-quality tools, making it easy to cook. I stayed in the Sabinosa house, which features a private terrace that enjoys a few hours of afternoon sunshine. The host was incredibly friendly and helped with my special request. I loved the variety of activities available, like yoga, climbing, and massages, all organized or facilitated by the hotel. Highly recommend!

“A cozy place in a practical location for exploring El Hierro”
The cottages are very cozy and have local character with very comfortable beds. The view is great and you have all the basics necessary for preparing breakfast in the morning. The location is great for exploring the island and going out to eat at night.

I loved every single thing about this place! It is located in amazingly picturesque place, it is super quiet, our studio was well equipped, beds were super cosy, it was super clean and well taken care of! It is definitely The Place with a Soul. The owners put their heart in every detail and you can feel it straightaway. Waking up to birds singing and drinking coffee in well-kept , beautiful garden with breathtaking views, what else is to wish! I want to thank owners of the place and staff for making our stay incredible!

“Prime location and calm environment, perfect for those who are easy going. Do not expect a hotel-level see”
El Sitio has a prime location in the valley - both close to the coast and the mountains/hiking trails, as well as the Frontera town. Various classes and services are offered throughout the week.

For me, El Sitio is a special place. Not so much a hotel but a creative, restorative retreat. The garden terraces connected beautifully with my simple, well equipped bedroom/kitchen studio. An invitation to live as much outside as inside. There are plenty of semi-private corners around the property in which to read, write, paint or simply stare out to the cliffs and sea. Proprietor Sabine added to the experience by recounting an interesting social history background to the island. Hoping to return soon!
