Hotel Rural Victoria

We stayed here for 9 days March /April 2014 and had a very pleasant stay. This is a 14 roomed small hotel, quite old fashioned and sedate which, for us, all added to it's charm. Our room was quiet and had a lovely view. Excellent lunches and evening meals in the restaurant at reasonable prices. The breakfasts had a good,varied selection of cooked or continental style choices. I would say the hotel is best suited to couples / adults as opposed to young children. The gin & tonics are fab! La Oratava is an interesting town with 2 very attractive botanical gardens, good views and numerous bars/cafes. Some streets very steep. We had use of a car and Tenerifian friends so were able to explore off the beaten track; the Anaga Mountains lovely,a boat trip from Los Gigantes to Masca to see dolphins etc also very enjoyable. The "must do" is El Teide which surpassed our expectations.
