Hotel description
In the heart of the soulful village of Garachico lies a picturesque country house called Gara with 16 individually furnished rooms on two floors. This country house was built in the 18th century and recently fully restored. Loving design reflect the sunny temperament of the hotel owners: bright walls decorated with Mediterranean oil paintings create a gleaming contrast to the warm tones of the dark solid wood furniture. Bathrooms with glass-walled showers and countless mirrors emphasize the importance of comfort and cleanliness at the Gara Hotel. From some rooms there is a fantastic view of the sea and the promenade along the Avenida Tome Cona. Beyond a cozy rooftop terrace and a courtyard café, the hotel offers a spa area decorated with artful stone walls, including sauna, jacuzzi and bithermal shower.
Romantic Hotel: Relax while looking for shooting stars
A rooftop terrace with a wonderful view invites couples for romantic nighttime stargazing and dreaming to the sound of the waves. Couples can also find time for relaxing together in the two-person sauna and jacuzzi of the romantically-lit wellness area. An incomparable highlight: El Caletón, lava swimming pools arisen from magma flow from the Volcán Garachico, just a short walk away.
Boutique Hotel: Warm-hearted, familiar atmosphere
Open, warm reception from hotel owners Sonya and Miguel is one of the particular charms of the Gara Hotel. This country house is absolutely not one of those places seeking to quickly dispatch with tourist masses. With only 16 rooms and personal reception by the owners, who are glad to help with individual tips for excursions, the hotel feels very familiar. Good meeting places are the hotel terrace with its excellent panorama view or the tranquil courtyard.
Food & Drink: Bed & Breakfast
From 8:30 to 10:30 am in the courtyard café at Gara Hotel, guests can choose between English and continental breakfast. On top of the ample buffet, fresh pressed orange juice or eggs on request can be ordered. For lunch and dinner (11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) drinks and small snacks are available in the cafeteria. For more variety when it comes to evening cuisine, there are many restaurants right around the hotel.
Sports & Leisure: Lava swimming pool & tennis
With direct access to the lava swimming pools only 50 yards away, the owners of Gara Hotel hold a real trump card. Every day but Mondays, hotel guests can take advantage of this unusual atmosphere for swimming. Sports enthusiasts can use the tennis courts across the way from the pool. Bicycle and car rental allows tourists to explore a broader range of Tenerife’s sights with ease. It is also possible to book hiking, paragliding and diving excursions at the hotel.
Location: Breath-taking sea view and easy driving around the island
Calle Esteban Ponte, the street where the Gara Hotel is located, runs parallel to the coastal promenade just a short walk from the North Atlantic. Other tourist destinations on the island, like the Teide (about 40 miles away), are reachable within 2 hours with a rental car, offering an opportunity to explore the northeast side of the island as well.
