"I almost didn’t want to leave a review because part of me would love to keep this place a secret so we can come back and book it again ourselves… but Maria truly deserves the very best review. Casa Amarillo in Garachico is an absolutely magical place to stay. The house sits in the middle of a working banana plantation, which makes the whole experience feel incredibly peaceful and authentic. Waking up surrounded by banana trees and beautiful scenery is something really special, and the historic colonial house itself is stunning – full of charm, history and beautiful details. Our host, Maria, was wonderful. She made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Her breakfasts were absolutely delicious – beautifully prepared, generous and a little bit fancy, turning every morning into a lovely experience rather than just a meal. What we loved most is how different this part of Tenerife feels compared with the busy, commercial south of the island. Garachico is calm, historic and full of character. Staying here feels like discovering the real Tenerife, far away from the typical tourist resorts. Everything about our stay felt peaceful, elegant and truly special. Casa Amarillo is a real gem, and Maria is a fantastic host. We would return in a heartbeat."

"There is no central heating in this place; A gas heater and a fireplace are available. The staff offered to start the heater, which we accepted, and a box of wood was provided for self-servicing the fireplace. The gas heater turned off after 10 minutes cause the gas tank was almost empty. On the other hand, I gave up on the fireplace after 90 minutes of successive failing attempts because the wood was extremely wet. The manager was absent and so was the owner. The three employees who were on duty went over their way and beyond their responsibilities to try to resolve the problems, and they successfully did. When I called the owner the day after to let him know that his business was being poorly managed all that he did was to call one of the employees of the previous night to reprimand her. This place has an enormous potential if it was managed properly. However, the absence of proper management turned my stay into a nightmare. "
