It was great to stay at Christina's flat and in La Aldea which is a very nice small town away from the tourist hotspots. We we're welcomed by Christina parents and they invited us for the new years eve fiesta at their house! We can highly recommend Christinas flat which has everything one needs for a nice holiday in a calmer part of Gran Canaria!

At the beginning we were completely welcomed by Cristina parents - including a large bag beautiful tomatoes -. Received. The house, in which several apartments of Cristina are just getting the finishing touches, but there was no reason on construction noise or the like to complain. As the first guests we were allowed to search for an apartment and chose the second floor with a small balcony. It was very spacious and equipped with everything you need. Many things and new furniture, some also used. What I also want to mention is that we had access to the roof terrace from which one has a good view of the neighborhood. The location is really great, the place to visit, but also a slightly longer walk to the sea with its gorgeous, lonely, dark beaches we were not too far. I can only highly recommend Apartment and wish Cristina and her parents all the best on this peaceful and beautiful corner of the island.

Excellent apartment in an authentic local Canarian Aldan town! The best possible location, the big supermarket around the corner, next to a lovely park. A well-functioning wifi. La Aldea is a real cozy little town.

The apartment is large and very clean. The decor is simple and thrown together but everything is and does. The Internet is absolutely great ... fast and reliable. The bathroom is a bit strange, especially the seat bath tub with shower, from which the water flows only sparingly. For women with long hair, it can become a problem. But we were so clear tidy. Our host is very attentive and nice. He responded quickly to every request and was very hard to our well-being. For people looking for rest and explore the "hinterland" of the island want a good choice.

Very beautiful!

The flat is confy and with 2 bedroom. Could have more sofas to rest after the big routes you can enjoy there but who want to be in the home when you are surrounded by a paradise of mountains, secret beach, traditional bar like the bar Severo in los caserones Village with amazing fresh fish, traditional Canarian recipes and big jar of refreshing vino tinto at a wonderful price. 8 euros 2 dishes, dessert and a drink! Included beer. As a bakery mention the Panaldea close to the center with homemade bakery and free coffe! You have supermarket and pharmacy really close Warning there is a bar after panaldea with picture of hotdogs and other fast food picture don't go to eat there! Expensive and really low quality, we went there cause is the first one we meet and completely frustrating experience. We enjoy the routes in bike and do walking in the area a must see is the "balcon" wonderfully place. In los caserones you have a 3 routes ending in a small lovely beach. There you have aswell a very high difficult route with 12km going to guigui beautiful secret beach you will have to rise 3 mountain the highest with 750 m. No need of climb just walk but no recommended is lazy or vertigo apply to yourself but indeed worth the effort and there is some house of lovely people living in the middle of the mountain and beautiful views. You can reach this aswell from Tasartico village 2 euros the bus and the bus top is just at 20 m. of you door. In tasartico beach is a man fishing and cooking the fish for you and all a experience to meet real food. Enjoy!

Thanks! My stay was fantastic. Nice little apartment in an authentic local friendly neighborhood.

Emilio is a great host, and responded quickly to querstions and suggestions via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) (suggest you get a local sim). quiet area which is what i was looking for. no foreign tourists at all, all spannish tourists, which adds to the charm of the place. place a great for hiking, local beach is great with some excellent places to eat, just need to work out when they are actually open!! good kitchen and bathroom with shower and hot water. wifi was excellent. you will need a car as it is secluded. i will def be back, i love La Aldea!!

Charming house in the village of San Nicolas. Precious.

Adalia's house is clean and comfortable, but the street traffic is a bit noisy at times. And the restaurant offering in the area is deceiving. Be ready to use your car, btw the surrounding roads are grandioses.

Adalia was lovely, both houses corresponded perfectly to our way of life, even if the lighting, the evening left a bit to be desired. We regretted not having been notified of the closure of the AGAETE road which made it impossible to visit the north of the island. But we have to better Aldea discovered and appreciated its distance from mass tourism. And delicious oranges ...

A nice property. However, something far away, so you have to go for trips pretty much winding roads through the mountains. The place is also not to be missed.

Adalia house is perfectly equipped and incredibly loving. The proximity to the Playa de Aldea with a beautiful bay, Playa Chica has given us the most beautiful hours. Adalia nephew Romen has shown us his tomato plantation and was always very helpful! Overall a great hotel with a family connection, highly recommended!

Our stay in Aldea de San Nicholas was very nice. Angelina is a nice housekeeper and helps out when you need something. She speaks only Spanish, but it was no problem to communicate with her. The house is very big and there is place for 8 people. The only noisy thing is the main road in front of the house. In the night it's calm, but during the day you can here the cars on the terrace or even in the bedroom. The area is very nice to stay and you have a small supermarket in short distance. The Beach is in a distance of 30 minutes by walk or 10 minutes by car. The local guys, the mountains and the small port, make the place very special.

The stay has been great. The house is fine, nothing is missing and the host was very friendly and helpful.

The tastefully renovated house of Cornelio is very nice and the area too, with its volcanic mountains with surprising and breathtaking landscapes. I recommend this destination for real trekkers who want to find away of South overcrowded beaches. The activity swimming here is not the priority, even if the small pebbly beach is nice. It is a village devoted to agriculture, more authentic than the postcard villages. We spent a very pleasant week full of beautiful landscapes discovered over the hiking (3h, 5:30 ET, for those who wish). Cornelio and his family are very friendly and care about the welfare of their guests.

We had wonderful days in the house with private pool! :) Cornelio and his wife are the best hosts that you could wish for. They are always available and help you immediately when something is. I highly recommend it and would again at any time to them :)

We had a wonderful week at Tia Dominga. The house is lovely, in Canarian style, with mountain views. Also the pool is situated beautifully in the mountains. But it was quite cold when we were there. Cornelio and his family welcomed us very friendly and made us feel at home immediately. We were with two adults and two children (10 and 7). The bed in the kitchen is not ideal, but we slept very well. The beach of playa Aldea is fine. But the town is not very nice, and it's difficult to find a good restaurant there. Unfortunately the northern road was closed, so the town is even more secluded. We drove to Mogan (1 hour), the kids love the beach there... The walk to Guigui is beautiful. Although the weather was not that great (stormy and cloudy) we (from the Netherlands) were very satisfied with some sun and 20 degrees... Thanks to Cornelio and family for a wonderful week!

Cornelio and family are wonderful hosts, making you feeling home since you arrive. The house is very clean, fully equipped (digital TV, washing machine, outside pool), large and comfortable with a big outside area where to eat or relax taking tan. The area isa rural one, wonderful view of the valley and very quit, no noise. Cornelio is fantastic in supporting your stay through Whatsap, telephone, phisical presence, with all the explanations. More, in the house there are all the guides to address your holidays and activities. We had several experiences with Airbnb, this has been very, very positive and genuine.

Cornelia has not provided for receiving a bottle of red wine now and we even picked up in the center, because we have the way not initially found. The house was sparkling clean.

Fenomenal!! Una casa muy limpia, muy agradable y gente muy amable. El lugar perfecto para descansar y conocer el interior de la isla. Stunning location and wonderful clean and tidy house - we loved the traditional straw roof in the bedroom! It's the perfect place to unwind, relax and go for a walk up the hill just behind the house, a wonderful view of the sea and Tenerife in the background. We loved the drives into the interior of the island - a bit windy sometimes but truly worth a visit if you are into discovering the less touristic routes. The family is absolutely wonderful, friendly but not intrusive, they offered to go on a walk together but sadly we had arranged to visit Mundo Aborigen. They happily shared the avocados and tomatoes from their own garden! It's a small farm too, and you are really made to feel at home. Thank you Cornelio, we would have liked to have more time - 2 weeks didn't seem enough!

Casa Tia Dominga is an excellent place to stay! We felt welcome from the very beginning and enjoyed relaxing evening in the beautifully equipped house after eventful days mainly in the northern parts of Gran Canaria. Casa Tia Dominga is located a little bit outside of Aldea de San Nicolas on a hill providing an overview of the whole valley of Aldea and when looking to the east Roque Nublo and Roque Bentaygy are visible. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the casa and want to thank Cornelio a lot for the pleasant stay

Beautiful house with magnificient views over the mountains and sunrise/sunset. Very kind people that love to help you with anything. Surprising swimmingpool with mountainview. Overall beautifull, quiet, rustique place which is really good value for money. Wil, Helena and Lauren

Great value property in a good location for walking and the beach.

Very friendly and helpful hosts, who did everything to make us feel good. The location is super for those who like nature, hiking and tranquility.

The road through the mountains is spectacular and arrive at accommodation surrounded by plantations, is a hostel type building, very well designed, with parking, common areas and bedrooms on the second floor, I was in a private room with bathroom and mountain views. The beach is a three minute drive and there are restaurants with fresh fish at a good price. In the morning they serve a hearty breakfast in the dining room. Will you stay several days in this valley if not because the island has many other things to do. Laura Thanks for your kindness.

The host canceled this reservation 23 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The village is a place I love for its tranquility and the area around it has. The room is simple but spacious. It is made of less somewhere to hang clothes. The treatment was very good and the hostel is very good. Breakfast is included in the price. A pleasant surprise.

Very nice hosts! Since I had quite a lot of luggage and the bus stop did not go in front of the hostel, I was kindly brought to the nearest bus stop. The room was fine, unfortunately the wireless did not work most - to get on the internet, one floor had to get deeper into the breakfast room / lounge embark. Very nice location - between the mountains and within walking distance to the sea in Puerto de la Aldea (cute little place), but also very isolated. I can recommend the hotel, but rather for a short stay of one probably. 1-3 nights.

clean room, hearty breakfast, Laura is very nice and welcoming. When I left, she took me to the bus stop, I really enjoyed. Staff very helpful too. Car recommended if you are alone (e).

Note: road from El Risco is currently closed most of the time. My first night was in a dormitory, comfortable bed, all ok. In my other 8 nights bed was not so comfortable in my en-suite single, but the room was large with magnifico views from a spacious bay window. Limited WiFi in room, but excellent on terrace/reception area. Friendly, easy going staff. Simple breakfast of good quality bread & jam(s) hot drink, concentrated orange juice. Great value hostel - recommended. Wonderful scenic area with many great hike routes, be sure to go on easy walk to Cruz del Siglo, magnifico panorama over town & canyon. San Nicolas is such an interesting, unique & friendly village, everyone says Hola & social capital is high, with locals even beeping horns in recognition as they pass each other in vehicles. Probably due to the large farming co-ops. When my bus failed to turn up after a hike near Mogan, I knew I'd be able to hitch & was picked up within 15 minutes:-)

The place is an old house and I guess a typical Spanish house. Nothing modern about it and I found it freezing cold in the night. The best feature is the roof where I spend most of my time sunbathing in the daytime. The kitchen was poorly equipped and basically the place was not very well set up for tourists. The location is isolated and I would say that hiring a car is essential since the buses are expensive and stop running around seven in the afternoon and the nearest nice beach is an hour away. The village was nice and quiet but not much going on there. The place is ideal for a quiet stay but if you are looking for fun, restaurants and beaches it is not the place. The hostess was nice and spoke english. All in all i would say it was a little overpriced regarding the location and the facilities.

Fantastic. Very peaceful place. Good for meditation as well.

Johannes&Markus sind prima Gastgeber. Das Frühstück ist super und die Gespräche sehr inspirierend. Danke Markus! Ich komme bestimmt wieder.

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

lugar de Laura era simple y bonito y barato. Dormimos en el dormitorio, con buenas camas, ropa de cama limpia y en instalaciones limpias generales. Incluido en el precio fue excelente desayuno y acceso a la cocina y nevera. Recomendamos encarecidamente el lugar.

Gral. met betrekking tot de zeer goede locatie en de accommodatie heeft een veel waardigheid ... schoon, stil en goede prijs ...

We are waiting for a bottle of wine and delectable fruits.

Antonio and his wife welcomed us so warm Super informing us about the area and activities and friendly welcome details of the house is very comfortable with old decoration that awakens interest the quiet area with access to services and beaches just 5min drive experienza very satisfactory

It has been a pleasure staying in Antonio Miguel's typical rural Spanish house. The house is beautifully decorated with antiques, which makes you feel you are stepping back in time. The house location is an oasis of tranquility surrounded by sea and mountains. Antonio Miguel is a wonderful host who was always available for us whenever we needed his help.

Antonio has very helpful shopped food in the late arrival. But otherwise communication are (only Spanish, possibly even translated into English by the son of Antonio) not been recommended and Apartment: The property is also at day only with electric light available, because there are three small, high-altitude and only in the bedrooms are also darkened with fly screens hatches and no proper windows (in the kitchen-living room falls a little light through a frosted glass pane in the door). It is crammed with "flea market items", so that almost no storage space is available. For more than three guests it is my view too narrow, it then does not offer enough space for the luggage. It is very basic, cooking is hardly possible given the lack of facilities for it and because of the very shaky two-plate stove. And really quiet, it is not: not only because of the neighborhood and the poorly sound-proofed walls, but because of ongoing roadworks, the zoom also contribute to night noise. If the highway to the north is done only once, the quite close Located on the road home is also likely to be too loud even incidentally. The access goes directly to the predominantly used by the neighbors parking lot, so there is no way to sit outside the apartment and eat. Finally, we had to remove several rather large cockroaches from the apartment.

Antonio Miguel is very friendly and nice and very clean house and its history shows. hna is placed in rural areas, the nature around is incredible. the only thing is that the road to the south or north (mogan or agaete) are slow and twisty.

Clean, spacious apartment. Transparent ad and supportive personnel!

Good hostel, good facilities and comfy bed, bus to the hostel however is very bumpy

I have unfortunately not met Laura but someone was there to welcome me and was able to answer some questions. When you are walking it is difficult to visit the area. The albergue is clean and well decorated. A place for a stopover in peace.

Good night in this hostel! Good ambiance and managers are very cool ! I recommand

Thank you for everything! We had a great stay with you, and if we are coming back to La Aldea, we will stay with you again

Es ist eine saubere und schöne Herberge liegt in einem Tal mit herrlichem Ausblick. Ideal im Osten der Insel zu erkunden. Das Personal, sehr schön. wirklich schön und die Menschen kümmern, die Sie zu Hause fühlen werden. Viele Grüße!

The apartment was very clean and tidy. The pictures correspond to the reality. On the terrace you can look beautiful to the sea. La Aldea de San Nicolas is not a tourist town, where you can Gran Canaria know aside from tourism. A rental car is definitely recommended. It was a very relaxing beautiful and peaceful holiday for us. Thank you Martin for your hospitality.

We had a lovely stay in Martins apartment. It is a nice, not very touristy place. The Wi-Fi signal could be stronger, it was not working everywhere.

Both the host and his brother were attentive to our needs 24h. Good deal, friendly and close. The village is a place with magic and its inhabitants make you feel at home. From the apartment you can enjoy the sunset and end up having dinner at the bar "El Chozo" you feel like you're eating at your grandmother's house, while the murmur of the sea accompanies.

Just great. It was very thoroughly cleaned. Martin is very nice and has four apartments in this house. All costs far as I know the same thing. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, but with the small shower I would take as a last resort. May note that the road in front of the house is. During the day much traffic. Everyhing was great. Todo perfectamente

The reception was OK - the stay is spent peaceful and pleasant - the amazing people.

Martin is very accommodating to the hours of output and arrival into place. Lucky for us. Simple accommodation, but clean in the corner of the unknown island tourists but ideally placed for hiking in the range of Guigui. warm welcome from his mother with some fruits and vegetables. Thank you to all 2

Very good experience at Martin. Everything in order, privileged site and very attentive, he and his family. Strongly recommended! :)

House petite and pretty, great location for those who want to turn Gran Canaria also in no tourist sites but fantastic.

Our stay by Sabrina was just comfortable. He gave us the smiling and friendly welcome, explaining everything for the home and to help make the most of our time in La Aldea de San Nicolas, It's a very interesting lady with whom you can talk about many different things. The house is an open space, and we especially like the rooftop. If we go back to Gran Canaria, we return to Sabrina. Thank you so much.
