San ROQUE

In the San Roque Hotel life slows to a different pace - where time can be forgotten and where guests can relax and quickly feel at home. Care has been taken to provide the right atmosphere for restfulness and peace.

Spaces have been created for relaxation - the pool is carved from volcanic lava and there is a rooftop solarium. There are pleasant areas to talk, read, meditate or simply absorb both the history and art.

This important house was built towards the end of the 18th century by a descendant of the aristocratic Genoan Cristobal de Ponte, founder of the town and port of Garachico. In former days its tower was the permanent look-out of a prosperous and bustling port serving the important commercial route between America and Europe.

The conservation of this historic building, with its grand and elegant architecture, designs now offers a glimpse of Garachico's past, conveying its tradition and history, as well as an innovative and free spirit in its use of contemporary designs and works of art.
