Great Location. Very well equipped
I stayed here as a solo traveller for 5 nights in the middle of March.
The communication with Daphne and from Miriam (her local on-site person) was excellent both before and during the holiday.
The accommodation is very well equipped, like home from home with everything you need. The amount of kitchen equipment was amazing! The only thing missing was an iron and ironing board which I did leave a note about so hopefully that will be reviewed. There was a washing machine and a dryer and great drying space on the terrace.
The rooms were very spacious. The weather was cold during my stay for 4 out of the 5 days, so I was glad of the many heaters provided. I did not need any in the bedroom as the duvets were very cosy.
At night time, in the cave bedroom, it is so peaceful and dark so you can get a good nights sleep!
There is no Wifi, but you can use the library (Monday to Friday when it is open usually twice a day and there is a very friendly librarian).
There is also 2 grocery shops again, open twice a day every day which are very handy. The Gama store seemed to have everything you need and fresh bread every day.
I used this as a base for walking and I had my own Rother Guide (they also provide one but not to be taken away) . I did 3 long walks (to Tamadaba picnic area, to Acusa Seca and to Cruz de Tejeda.
I would thoroughly recommend the Acusa Seca one as there are beautiful views and at the end of the walk you can see many interesting cave houses. I actually got sunburnt on this walk as it was very hot in the valley. On the other two walks, which were high up in the mountains, it was a lot colder but well worth it for the views. I got caught in a hailstorm on the Cruz de Tejeda walk so was very glad to have some warming food at the Parador! So the weather can be very different up in the highest village in Gran Canary.
Lots of interesting things to do and see around the village itself. A tip is to avoid going to the Museum when it opens about 11am as hoards of tourist buses arrive then!. I did not have any car so relied on pubic transport to get myself to and from Artenara. However there was enough to keep me occupied in the area. If you have a car, you will have even more scope for walking and exploring.
There is a lovely terrace as well with great views.
I would thoroughly recommend and really enjoyed my stay there
