Gran Canaria 
A difficult but beautiful road leads you to the village of Artenara, which at an altitude of 1270 m (4167 ft) is the highest village of the island and also one of the oldest.

Beauty of a simple life
Gran Canaria 
Clinging to the mountainside, this peculiar village is doubtless the most spectacular of the island with many of its houses built in the solid rock of caves dating from prehistoric times. Although some of them – with their painted façades – look almost like ordinary houses, and most of them are equipped with all modern amenities.
Gran Canaria 
Traditionally life in the courtyard of the caves, took place mainly in the evenings before dusk. The courtyard was used for many everyday chores, cooking, laundry, shelling almonds, drying figs, cleaning potatoes, toasting maize, and espcially to "talk".

This was our second stay. Great weather, clean facility, lots of lounge chairs. Housekeeping did a very good job cleaning our rooms. The Spar mini market had everything we needed for our few days stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Hotel is obsessed with charging for everything and in many cases things that ought to be complimentary. Dish washing liquid and cloth €4.5; one coffee pod €1.90; bottle of water €4, etc. The fridge was full of more drink than the usual mini fridge.
