Casa Emblemática Gildana

We had a fantastic week at Casona Gildana. The house is truly spectacular, situated within a historic building in the heart of Arucas, right next to a beautiful neo-gothic church. Despite its central location, the neighborhood was surprisingly quiet and calm, allowing us to enjoy our stay without disturbances from traffic or tourists. The house itself is spacious, well-maintained, and convenient. I particularly appreciated the two large bathrooms, spacious kitchen, and cozy courtyard in the center of the house. While the internet connection was excellent, there is room for improvement in terms of distributing the WiFi signal more effectively throughout the house

The kitchen could be better equipped. We missed having a larger refrigerator and an oven. There is no parking space near the house, but you can park for free in the large public parking area around 200m from the house.

Beautiful house with lovely pool and stunning courtyard area set in the heart of pretty Arucas. The beds are really comfy and the home is packed full of character. Book it if you can. The town is really friendly, like everywhere else in Gran Canaria, and you could not be made more welcome.

Very spacious rooms, very clean, lovely outdoor seating area, kids loved the play room with toys, the swimming pool and fantastic value for money. Great location, beautiful church on the doorstep and only round the corner from a lovely little town. Not far from bus station so was able to get out and about. Went to Poema Del Mar in Las Palma's - brilliant aquarium, and Las Arenas Shopping centre, but our main reason for the stay was a family wedding at Jardines De La Marquesa which was a beautiful day and this property was ideal location for that.

Swimming pool was cold but did not stop us getting in. No oven at the property not that we planned on cooking there but we did struggle to find food options for the kids in town, some bars did not serve food and some restaurants didn't open till late. Town was quite hilly and steep in some places.

It was clean. The rooms are big, the terrace with the swimming pool with views of the top of the cathedral is amazing. There are 2 bathrooms with 3 showers and the kitchen is huge which is very convenient for a large group of people like ours (9). Overall, an amazing relaxing experience.

If I have to mention something it would be that every bedroom have skylights which is amazing during the day but it's not so good if you pretend to sleep until late.

- Nice and spacious old house on perfect location - bars, restaurants <200m; supermarkets within 500m - large fully equipped kitchen which easily accommodates 10+ people (8 burners, large fridge, large pans) - pool and many shaded options in courtyard

- WIFI can be improved in some rooms - Fans are provided, but rooms can get hot in summer - No curtains for large ceiling lights, so if you are sensitive to day light, you wake up early - some street noise
