Jardin de la Paz

Rooms

Three separate buildings house the various apartments and villas, and all offer a good deal of privacy along with expansive panoramas of the gardens and ocean.

Both of the Luxury Studios are a spacious combination of living/dining area, bedroom and kitchenette. Spectacular Casa Bruno has an expansive open-plan layout, which is further enhanced by ocean-facing glass walls and a terrace overlooking one of the pools. Casa Victoria also has a balcony and the added luxury of a secluded garden.

There are 4 1-bedroom Junior and Design Suites: all feature a kitchen or kitchenette, a living room and bathroom with a shower and/or bathtub. Casa Teotima and Casa Domingo are slightly smaller (and cheaper) than Casa Frederico and (the particularly romantic) Casa San Marco, which has a private outdoor Jacuzzi pavilion.

Of the 2-bedroom Premium Suites, Casa de las Palmeras has the edge over the upper-level Casa Santiago by way of a lawned garden. However, the latter has by far the better views. This category also has the benefit of larger kitchens with extra amenities like a dishwasher and 2 bathrooms.

Each Villa has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Casa Alberto is the preferred choice for families with small children due to its seclusion and its large, self-contained garden. Or you could push the boat out with Grand Villa Gabriela; a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa with a marble staircase, extravagant furnishings, a huge open-plan dining and living room, and a well-equipped kitchen. It can also be extended into 3 bedrooms by utilising the Casa Antonia Studio below.

You may find some of the décor can be quite pastel and peach - slightly dated with a lot of white wicker furniture. If you prefer something more modern opt for the Suite (Casa Buenavista); a newer addition with an open-plan layout, a whirlpool bathtub and a dramatic light-well.

Features include:

• Bathrobes
• Hairdryer
• Safe box
• WiFi

Eating

All of the apartments and villas feature a kitchen or kitchenette, plus a dining table and chairs. Tea- and coffee-making facilities and fridges are also provided. The nearest supermarket involves a 5-minute drive to the village of La Matanza.

For breakfast (8.30am until 10.30am), there's freshly squeezed orange juice from trees in the garden, cheeseboards, walnut, fig and goats cheese canapés and a vast array of cold meats, fresh fruit and breads, plus eggs cooked to order. It's served in the stylish Vista Paraíso gazebo and terrace, which is set within the garden. Here you're surrounded by orange and lemon trees, as well as those panoramic sea views.

For other meals, Casa Juan is within walking distance of the hotel, and offers a varied menu including seafood, grilled meats and daily specials. Several good restaurants are within a short drive, including La Sabina (creative Canarian cuisine), San Nicolas (fresh fish) and La Cuadra de San Diego (tapas served at lunchtime only). We loved Tito's Bodeguita, serving tasty tapas and traditional Canarian dishes in a pretty courtyard flanked by palm trees. Late lunch consisted of octopus salad, vegan moussaka and fresh grouper. Delicious.
