An 18th-century Canarian house in the old town of Adeje, with its courtyard, its timber and its stone. Today it is a rural hotel, restaurant and bar.
The house
A Canarian house in Adeje old town
Fonda Central is an 18th-century Canarian house on Calle Grande, right in the historic centre of Adeje. It has been restored and is now a rural hotel, with a Canarian restaurant and a bar.
From the street you see a blue façade with wooden windows and a stone base. There are two doors: one into the restaurant, one into the hotel.
Calle Grande is also home to the church of Santa Úrsula, parts of which date from the 16th century, with a Mudéjar-style interior ceiling.
The courtyard
A courtyard open to the sky
Step inside and the house opens onto a courtyard. Wooden galleries run round it on both floors, against pink walls and exposed stone. Several bedroom doors open onto these galleries.
Below, a pergola of wood and reed shades tables and wicker armchairs among plants and lanterns. Above, the sky.
Inside
Wood, stone and colour
Inside, wood sets the tone: staircases, banisters, doors, posts and beamed ceilings. In between, there are exposed stone walls and others that are whitewashed or painted yellow, pink, green or blue.
The main rooms are furnished with antiques and hung with framed old photographs. Reception has a wooden counter, tables and green leather armchairs.
Corners
Places to linger
Beyond the courtyard, the house has corners for sitting, reading or doing nothing at all.
The fireplace lounge
A corner fireplace, a rocking chair, a gramophone, a vintage television and an old sewing machine. Yellow walls and exposed stone.
The reading corner
A bookcase, a table and wooden armchairs. Next to it, sliding doors lead into the wine cellar.
The gofio corner
Set up like an old village shop: scales, a cash register, wicker baskets, a hand-turned stone mill and packets of gofio, the toasted maize flour of the Canaries.
The wine cellar
Stone walls, a beamed ceiling, barrels used as tables, high stools and more old photographs on the walls.
Up top
The sun terrace, among the rooftops
On the roof there is a sun terrace with a terracotta floor, cacti and potted plants, and tables with wicker armchairs.
From up there you look out over the tiled roofs and wooden galleries of the house.
