San Bartolome Hotels & Apartments

Reviewed by:

"We had one of the two suites (No 9), and having a lounge in addition to the bedroom and bathroom makes a big difference. It was spacious, tastefully and traditionally furnished and comfortable, with a picture window in the lounge giving a fine view over the hills. One drawback was a TV that picked up only Spanish and German stations, and the remote control was decidedly iffy. A simple radio would have been nice, and I'd even have put up with CNN on the telly. Also, water in the bathroom took an absolute age to run hot - not good on Lanzarote where water is a precious commodity. But unless you like cold showers, be prepared to watch it run down the plughole. The owner and staff were very friendly, and the restaurant serves good food that's refreshingly not the typical tourist fare you tend to find in holiday destinations. Wine prices are reasonable, with good selection of both local and mainland Spanish varieties. The inland location of the hotel near San Bartoleme is well situated for exploring the island by car, and it's located in a peaceful spot. Well, theoretically it is. The one fly in that ointment is having yapping dogs in nearby properties, which were an unwanted distraction. Fortunately their owners seem to take them in during the evenings, so you'll get a good night's sleep. Were my wife and I to revisit Lanzarote we'd certainly seriously consider staying here again (maybe by that time the dogs will have been put down!). In a rustic kind of way it's definitely a cut above your average holiday hotel."
