Hotel San Roque

Garachico, Islas Canarias••€€

“The hidden jewel of northern Tenerife”

About the hotel

Hotel San Roque is an 18th century mansion in Garachico, a fishing village that was once Tenerife's most important port before a volcanic eruption transformed it. The natural lava pools, colonial architecture and tranquility of northern Tenerife create a perfect contrast to the touristy south.

Nomadiq Pick

The natural pools of El Caletón and a stroll through the colonial old town.

Why we love it

  • La Casa de Ponte, built towards the end of the 18th century by a descendant of the aristocratic Genoese Cristóbal de Ponte, founder of the town and port of Garachico.
  • One of the first boutique hotels in the Canary Islands, opened in 1996 by the Carayon family, pioneers of small-scale rural tourism when the islands were a mass vacation destination.
  • The unique fusion of traditional Canarian architecture, with arched corridors, exposed beams and two serene courtyards, and original furnishings from the Glasgow School and Bauhaus movement.
  • Works of art by Miquel Navarro, Carmen Calvo and José Noguero in dialogue with the chalky stone of the patio.
  • The tan orange color of the building and its large rectangular watchtower, visible at less than 300 meters from the rocky coastline

History

The San Roque is the creation of the Carayon family, who discovered the 18th century Casa de Ponte in 1990 and restored it between 1992 and 1996. This important house was built towards the end of the 18th century by a descendant of the aristocratic Genoese Cristóbal de Ponte, founder of the town and port of Garachico. The restoration, driven by Laly and Dominique Carayon, honored the house's past while breathing new life into its spaces.

Restoration

1996

This 20-room, adults-only, luxury boutique hotel was a mansion before being restored. A Bauhaus-style décor was added to its traditional architecture, both understated and functional. The hotel masterfully combines the high ceilings and arches of its historic structure with the parallel lines and distinctive look of the original furnishings of the Glasgow School and later Bauhaus movement. From the chasnera stone that adorns the courtyard floor to the works of Miquel Navarro, Carmen Calvo and José Noguero, every corner breathes creativity and tradition.

The Surroundings

Islas Canarias

The hotel is located in the historic town of Garachico, on the north coast of Tenerife. Garachico was the most important port of Tenerife until a volcanic eruption in 1706 transformed it. The natural pools of El Caletón, formed by lava that reached the sea, are just a short walk away. The colonial old town is perfectly preserved. The Teide National Park, with the highest peak in Spain, is less than an hour away.
