Hotel Rural Las Calas, Vega de San Mateo

This 17th-century manor house, set in the rugged Gran Canaria mountains, has been carefully lovingly converted into a charming country getaway.

Blending traditional Spanish and vibrant African styles, this peaceful hotel provides an enchanting setting for your visit to this sunny Canary Island. Las Calas is built around a colourful, tropical garden and features typical Canarian whitewashed walls, dark woods and ceramic plate tiles.

Cool off from the year-round sunshine with a dip in the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool. Then, experience the delicious home-made Mediterranean cuisine served in the restaurant, where each dish is made with produce from the surrounding farms.

The hotel is located in the tiny mountain village of La Lechuza. It is surrounded by farms producing a rich variety of local produce, particularly peach and pear juices, other fruits and cheeses. This produce can be bought at the local farmers’ market in the nearby village of La Vega de San Mateo.

Also in the local area you will find the protected natural environments of the Cumbre, the island’s highest peak, and Pino Santo, both of which are rich in all types of wildlife. Here you can go hiking, mountain biking and horse riding. You will also find several golf courses in this World Biosphere Reserve.

Each room has a unique blend of rustic styles, complemented by a personal touch from the hotel’s owners.
