Gran Drago

The old Canarian house has been renovated beautifully, with lovely decor, and it’s peaceful at any time of day. The views and magnificent dragon tree at the entrance make the location special. Inside, the temperature was wonderful, the bed, duvet, and sofa were comfortable, and the modern washing machine worked perfectly. It felt like a special stay, and I’m sure we’ll return. A few practical things could be better. Some of the lower areas are a bit dark, and the rocky footpath makes it awkward to carry things unless you wear comfortable shoes. Clearing the weeds in the garden might make breakfast at the little table nicer. We could also have used a few more kitchen items in the occasional room, and utensils by the barbecue.

There’s loads here to make a holiday comfortable, from the very nice bathroom and living room to DVDs and music. The owner was attentive and helpful, and pets are allowed. We’ll definitely return. The house is up a sloping dirt road, so getting luggage or groceries out of the car is a bit of a pain, but the setting makes it worth it. It’s wonderfully quiet, with tables and chairs in front and behind the house, plus a barbecue and charcoal grill. Everything inside is well equipped. There’s an upstairs bedroom with a double bed, and the living room sofa turns into a bed. The laundry room has detergent, softener, a clothesline, and an ironing board. The kitchen has a gas hob, electric oven, big fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and blender, along with basics like salt, sugar, oil, foil, napkins, tea, a scrubber, and dishcloth. It feels like you never left home.

Marcos was a great host, and that barbecue is a must. The house was lovely and peaceful, with all the comforts in a rustic setting. I’d happily come back.

The silence there has a way of settling you, and the house has such a lovely charm. Marcos was an extraordinary host. We’ll definitely return, 100% recommend.
