This hotel has so much character! I wish I could have stayed more than 1 night. The staff/owners go above and beyond and are so friendly. Their restaurant attached is also very good.

Not suitable for mobility issues
If you have mobility problems do not use this hotel.when I booked I specified a ground floor room. However there are no ground floor rooms.you either walk across a very rough courtyard and climb the stairs or walk around the building up a steep hill and use a side entrance on the first floor there is no way you could use this hotel if you are in a wheelchair.l did speak to the manager about shortening our stay and obtain a refund for the last week but that was a flat NO. However we were so unhappy that we left after the first week and found another hotel.

This was a memorable visit. Located in San Miguel de Abona, well away from the main tourist centres, this small hotel was formerly a family home and exudes charm and character. Whilst room facilities are basic, they are perfectly adequate, and in any case there is a strong gravitational pull towards the lovely courtyard which doubles as an outdoor cafe during daytime. The host, Augustin, is welcoming and helpful, and always on hand to answer any questions that guests may have. I didn't get a chance to speak to Charo, Augustin's wife, mainly because she was far too busy working flat out cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Whether one orders a snack, lunch or evening meal the food is excellent and reasonably priced, as is the locally produced wine. The indoor restaurant where evening meals are served is intimate and atmospheric, and food is cooked from scratch with locally sourced ingredients. When checking out the following morning Augustin was more than happy to look after my bags for a few hours while I wandered around the town, and when I later met my cousin and her husband at the hotel they were so taken by its ambience that an immediate decision was made to have lunch in the courtyard. This is a hotel full of heart and soul run by hard-working, genuine people, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you are seeking an atmospheric alternative to the sort of sterile tourist accommodation that is pervasive in the southern half of the island then look no further.

Disappointed
The accomodation/casa is on a main road and we drove padt it twice before we found it. The lady in charge didnt seem please to see us at all and was very surly. She showed us to our dark and shuttered room and left us. No offer of a drink or when dinner was etc. Thankfully my husband speaks Spanish. Dinner was fine but again this woman didnt want us there. Breakfast was basic and we had to ask for a 2nd coffee....it was expensive overall for what it was and where it was.

Even though we loved the unique architecture, what we loved most were the people. All staff, from servers to management, treated us like royalty (we’re far from that). Next time in this area, we won’t even look elsewhere. Thanks Augustin. Dave and Darlene, Ottawa Ontario.

A quaint Spanish welcome.
Carolina welcomed us so warmly. The hotel is full of character with lovely wood everywhere and huge keys. It is very quiet but rather dark because mostly guests will be in the garden. The food is generous, varied and delicious. The hotel is only ten minutes from the airport on a good main road.

Back from the Coast but Great
About 10 mins inland from the coast above Golf del Sur, a gem of an old property, modernised rooms and bathrooms. Restaurant good, plus couple of others in this small town, so no need to motor out for dinner. Sunny outside bar in small courtyard. Roadworks on the Golf del Sur roundabout ( which has always been busy anyway) - so recommend leaving main motorway at next junction towards Los Cristianos if going up to San Miguel.

Atmospheric
Impossible not to like this hotel. A beautiful place in an interesting Canarian town. The rooms are good for the price and the beds comfortable but the pretty courtyard is perhaps its best feature. Beware the 'breakfast included' option on hotels.com. It wasn't.

Quirky hotel that matches its brochure entry.
Cuatro Esquinas was the best thing about the time in Tenerife apart from the enjoyable - at least for me - experience of driving up and down via amazing hairpin bends. Room and restaurant and bar and terraced areas all excellent and with smiling -if leisurely- service. One might also point out that the shower was more effective in promise than execution, but adequate.

Beware
I booked this hotel through Expedia and the confirmation stated that I would be charged in euros by the hotel however when I checked my credit card they deducted the amount in GB Pounds this means that I got a poor exchange rate. I think that expedia should ensure that what they state on their booking confirmation is adhered to. Nearly every restaurant and places that I stayed in tried the same trick however I insisted that all transactions were carried out in euros.

Good value overall
A very nice hotel although slightly cluttered with ornaments for my taste. Good points were friendly staff and nice courtyard area to enjoy a drink. Downsides were that our room was right next to the main road meaning early traffic noise was disturbing (rooms in other parts of the hotel would probably be ok). Wifi is currently only available in the communal areas and was a bit patchy on reception - would be great to have it in the rooms too. All in all, a pleasant stay.

Perfect hotel!
Very friendly staff. Nice breakfast and massive room. Beds are amazing. I really recommend this hotel if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing hotel. Good location, 15 minutes from airport, beach and mountain for hiking. The food at the hotel is really nice and there are other restaurants and bars very close to it and food is really good as well.

Relaxing place
Lovely place to unwind from an exciting trip around the island in Tenerife. Hotel rural 4Esquinas was inviting cozy-reminded us of our grandmothers house; old pictures paintings, antiques and boal of sweets,fresh bread and croissants in the am...we enjoyed relaxing on the couch in the living room...and eating dinner at the hotel with their best wine of our choice on the island. I was content about it all, although I would not recommend eating their at lunch ..and having chicken stuffed with cranberry and nuts..disappointed with a few meals that did not meet the standard of the first dinner we had there. I would not recommend washing your clothes there. I asked if I could do a small wash of very little undergarments and was not warned of any costs. I barely used the drier and they charged me 8 euros without warning on my last dinner bill. I was extremely disappointed about it but I did not want to spoil my vacation so I got over it quickly. Advice..owners want your money..and are not as welcoming as you think about having you as a guest.

Its a Marmite Experience
OK the positives. 13 mins by taxi to the airport. Central position near tourist office. Bar next door and across the road. Own restaurant which was rather good. Breakfast excellent Staff friendly and helpful, owner even more so-set chairs for us outside whilst waiting for taxi Now the Marmite: We were shown the room which allegedly wasn't ours- the guy in ours hadn't checked out. Little window with hessian roller blind softened by lavender bags. Bed comfortable enough, we had a good sleep. Kettle, electric plug in radiator, towel rack, hanging rail, desk and chair. Run of cupboards painted blue, topped by a worktop, complete with stainless steel sink which doubled as a washbasin. Excellent shower with multi heads. GET THIS: SHOWER AND LOO BEHIND A MOVEABLE WOOD AND MATERIAL SCREEN.......... BUT... and I think this is the artist in me. there were these little nuances. It was almost as if you were in someones house, the shelves had little nick nacks, out in the corridor of this enclave with marble floors- there were straw hats arranged artistically on bits of furniture, magazine racks, flowers. To the left of our room was a little patio sitting area with chairs and table for sun relaxing. Down a few steps to a little grotto with a pond and koi carp. Then steps to the al fresco area of the restaurant. We had a really nice meal, appetiser starter main course, and the most gorgeous puddings (selected by our excellent waitress), lager for him, nice wine for me (x2) 53euros. Value!

Last stop off on visit
The hotel was our final days stay on the way back from Gomera before heading off to the airport. We were going to travel by bus from Los Cristianos to San Miguel D'Abona but because a complete lack of buses (full up before they even got to the bus station, only two stops down the line) we had to taxi it at 25 Euros. San Miguel is an OK town but the hotel was very charming, and the hotel restaurant served the best food we enjoyed on our trip. I would not hesitiate to recommend this hotel. It is both close to the airport (tenerife south) but nestled up in the mountains and would make a great place to base yourself to explore the island further if you have a car. I just wish that these places would have proper double beds, not just two singles squished together and that Satellite TV provided had some english channels available (disney and storage hunters notwithstanding).

Lovely but slightly remote hotel.
We had a lovely stay here, staff were lovely, couldn't do enough for you. The food in the restaurant was so nice we ate there three times in the 9 days we stayed, we never do that! You would need a car to stay here as a bit remote, but I liked that and the peace and quiet of the area. If you are looking at this and want a more traditional Spanish hotel to the usual everywhere looks the same decor and you don't mind a short drive to the main areas I would highly recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyable stay
This is a traditional small Spanish hotel which has been tastefully renovated to provide an excellent holiday getaway for people who want to enjoy the 'real' Tenerife. This is an excellent base for hikers, climbers, cyclists or just those who want the more natural side of Tenerife. The owners and small staff team are genuinely friendly and helpful in every way. The food and atmosphere in the restaurant are excellent and the breakfast varied for all tastes and appetites. The roof area could be enhanced with comfortable chairs and planting to create a brilliant addition to the excellent courtyard and terrace already available.

village hotel
I spent ten nights here over Xmas 2013. Overall a pleasant stay. Road noise is a small issue if you are a light sleeper, as I am, but it does dwindle to nothing from 10pm-7pm so no big deal. Good breakfast. Single beds a bit narrow with so-so pillows..that's all I can say negative! A nice man runs it and if you seek somewhere well away from the tourist hubs but with easy access to everywhere on Tenerife then this place ticks most boxes.

Easily accessible Hotel in San Miguel about 10 miles North of the Airport. Lovely people, quiet comfortable room and good food. Parking on the street opposite. 20 minute drive to the resorts of Los Christianos and Playa Las Americas. If you wish to get away from the hussle-bussle of these resorts then this is a good choice. Cooked my breakfast as I like it ! 15 minute drive to Golf del Sur where I played golf. Met a few people here who were to hike in the mountains above. Good choice of Hotel for me.

Truly memorable food
4 Esquinas is the perfect place if you like genuine people and genuine food. A far cry from the usual overfilled anglicized resorts of the South! The owners are extremely friendly and welcoming and la Senora's cooking is outstanding! San Miguel is only 20 mins from Tenerife South airport and a fairly good base for exploring the mountains. We stayed for 2 nights before heading to the north of the island.

Rural hotel with all modern conveniences
The owners are very proud of the restoration of the old building which was opened in November last year. The couple give friendly service and helpful advice about local amenities. The bed was very comfortable The bedroom was spacious with a very high traditional ceiling, and the bathroom has a state of the art shower. Tables are laid outside for eating as well as inside for warmth in the mornings. San Miguel is quite high up and cooler than coastal resorts. I live half an hour away near the coast and we enjoyed a birthday night in the hotel as a treat. We were not disappointed. The road is quite noisy in the day, but didn't disturb our sleep at night. The accommodation is very close to the small town. There is a museum El Capitan nearby showing Canarian history. A hotel to be explored.
