Hotel Rural Fonda de La Tea

An inn in the middle of the village

The Fonda de La Tea is a rural hotel of 11 rooms spread over four floors, in a refurbished 19th-century house in the heart of Tejeda, within the Nublo Rural Park. According to its website, botanists, artists, novelists and poets passed through it. It has an inner patio with wooden balconies, a lounge with a fireplace for the cold nights on the ridge and a terrace from which you see the Roque Nublo, the Roque Bentayga, the Roque Nariz and the Mesa de Acusa. In 2025 it received the ASETUR award for the best rural hotel in Spain.

The rooms

They have air conditioning, satellite television, minibar, safe, hairdryer and free internet. The buffet breakfast is included in the price. There is a lift, a relaxation area with showers and hammocks, and massages by booking. Dinners are served at the Cueva de La Tea restaurant, Canarian cooking, in the same village. The house also manages apartments and country houses in Tejeda, such as La Casa de la Esquina, opposite the church.

Getting there and getting around

By car, from Las Palmas, nearly an hour along the GC-15 and Cruz de Tejeda. The hotel has free covered public parking. Without a car, bus 305 from San Mateo reaches the Tejeda station, a few steps away, and line 18 leaves from there for the Roque Nublo. The inn organises walks with or without a guide, bicycle hire and airport transfers with advance booking. For a summer swim there is the municipal pool.

Who it is for

For anyone who wants to sleep inside the village, dine and breakfast without taking the car and set off walking from the door. If you are travelling with a dog, the website does not mention it: ask before booking.
