Hotel Rural Senderos de Abona

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Hotel Rural Senderos de Abona on that narrow stretch of Calle de La Iglesia, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in unassuming packages. This little gem sits right in the heart of Granadilla de Abona, and I mean literally – you’re steps away from the old church (hence the street name), and you can actually hear the evening bells if you’re into that sort of thing.

What struck me immediately was how the staff actually seemed to care about the place. Check-in was smooth, no rushing you through some corporate script, and they gave me real recommendations – not the touristy stuff you find in brochures. The woman at reception told me about this tiny local bakery around the corner that opens at 6 AM, and honestly, those pastries became my daily ritual. The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable, nothing fancy but everything works properly (you’d be surprised how rare that is). I stayed on the second floor and could hear a bit of street noise in the mornings, but Granadilla isn’t exactly bustling with traffic, so it’s more like gentle life sounds than actual disturbance.

Here’s the thing about this place – it’s got that 9.1 rating for a reason, and it’s not because they’re trying to be something they’re not. The location puts you right in authentic Tenerife, away from the resort crowds but still connected to everything. You’re about 20 minutes from the coast if you want beaches, but you’re also perfectly positioned to explore the island’s interior. I used it as a base for hiking in the morning (the Senderos trails are literally what the hotel is named after), then hitting different villages in the afternoon. Parking was never an issue – there’s space right outside, which anyone who’s driven around Tenerife’s older towns will appreciate. The breakfast was simple but good, local ingredients, and they don’t rush you out. I actually found myself lingering over coffee most mornings, planning my day while watching the town wake up. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying somewhere real, not in some sanitized tourist bubble.
