Built in the 18th century, this former private residence has been lovingly transformed into a beautiful boutique hotel. Located in the north of the island within the pretty town of Garachico, the San Roque offers guests a relaxed ambience and striking contrast to larger tourist hotels of the south. There are just 20 comfortable rooms, each beautifully decorated with its own unique style. Other facilities include a small heated outdoor swimming pool, a sauna, rooftop terrace and library, as well as an excellent restaurant serving local produce. The owner, Señor Carayon and his family, take immense pride in looking after their guests and would be delighted to make suggestions as to how to spend your time during your stay. Children under 14 not accepted. No lift.
