Hermitage Homes PSJ

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Hermitage Homes PSJ? It’s tucked away on this quiet residential street in Guía de Isora where you’d never expect to find accommodation this good. I mean, Calle Isla de el Hierro isn’t exactly where tourists usually end up, but that’s actually part of its charm – you’re staying where locals live, not in some sterile hotel district.

The whole setup feels more like crashing at a friend’s really nice place than staying at a typical 3-star hotel. The owner clearly gets that travelers want space to spread out and actually live a bit while they’re there. Each unit has this lived-in comfort that you just can’t fake – proper kitchens where you can actually cook (not those sad hotel kitchenettes with one burner), living areas where you want to hang out, and honestly, bedrooms that feel like home. The 9.2 rating makes total sense once you’re there because it’s those little details that matter. Like having enough electrical outlets in the right places, decent water pressure, and windows that actually open properly to let in that amazing Canarian evening breeze.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays at night – being on a residential street means you’re not dealing with the usual hotel corridor drama or street noise from bars and restaurants. But here’s the thing about the location that most people don’t realize until they’re there: you’re actually perfectly positioned between the coast and the mountains. Playa San Juan is maybe a 10-minute drive down the hill, and if you want to head up toward Teide or explore the interior, you’re already halfway there. Plus, there’s this little local market just a few streets over where you can grab fresh produce and those incredible Canarian tomatoes – way better than trying to find decent food in tourist areas. The parking situation is refreshingly stress-free too, which anyone who’s driven around Tenerife’s coastal towns will tell you is not something to take for granted. I’d honestly choose this over those flashy resort hotels any day, especially if you’re planning to explore the island rather than just plant yourself by a pool. It’s got that sweet spot of being comfortable and well-maintained without feeling overly polished or impersonal.
