Casa Princess Arminda

Location, laid back atmosphere, restaurant food excellent, our host (Juan) was exceptional. He can cater for groups in the 5 rooms available. Liked the music room (must remember this for next time). Huge car park considering the location.

Nothing to do with the hotel, but the whole of Betancuria closed down around 6:30 pm. Nowhere for dining until 12:00. am. If breakfast is an issue, you would have to provide this yourself.

Great location in a beautiful historic village in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. would highly recommend as an antidote to the excesses of the coast.

No breakfast was available as the cook was sick, which wouldn't have been a problem as we would have bought supplies - however there is no shop in the village and although there are some very nice cafes and restaurants they dont open until 11 am for day trippers by which time we were getting a bit hangry, but soon banished with a good coffee and sandwich from nearby Casa Santa Maria

Lovely old historic building with lots of character. Bed was really comfortable. Private parking at the back of the hotel which was great as it can be really difficult to park in Bentancuria.

The shower wasn't very hot. This is not a criticism of the hotel but something to be aware of if you are visiting Bentancuria in winter - when we visited in December there were no restaurants or bars open in the evening.

I like the historic feeling and style of the whole building. A good restaurant in the evening. Good shower.

There was no possibility to eat breakfast, and still about 9:45 no other restaurants or bars had opened. There was no possibility to make our own coffee/tea. We had to leave - hiking - without eating at all. That should have been communicated better! Many reviews mention the good breakfast, so we felt sure about that issue, otherwise we would have had a little supply with us, of course.

Lovely location, old house with lots of character - very quiet (only 5 rooms), and the patios are gorgeous. The room was okay, with a single bed on the main floor, and a double bed on the mezzanine.

As mentioned in a few reviews, the lovely owners are not on site most of the time, so you may have to figure things out yourself, for example; on our first morning, other guests explained to us that we could use the kitchen´s teapot to make our own coffee (we supplied our own coffee and water). The room was nice, but worth noting that as two tall people, we both bumped our heads in the staircase leading to the mezzanine - not a big deal, we´re both clumsy. There was also almost no natural light (only one very small window opening on the patio). There were quite a few "air fresheners" in the room, to which I had an allergic reaction, so we looked for them and kept them out of the room. We didn´t get a chance to try the restaurant as they were only serving food from 6pm to 8pm, and we were still out and about at that time. We struggled to find the place with the GPS due to streets being closed to cars (this may be more of a google issue that the hotel can´t resolve, but worth noting) - there is a parking next to the hotel, which is super useful once you know it.

the wonderful old house, the historical surroundings, the tasteful "carne de cabra"

friendly Host, tranquil atmosphere, authentic
