Banana House, Hermigua Overview
Banana House is located in Hermigua, Spain. Rated 8.6 out of 10 based on 7 guest reviews.
Banana House in Hermigua, ES, is a practical base for travelers who want quiet, outdoor time in the hills of La Gomera. The address, La Castellana s/n, places you outside the densest village streets, so expect a more rural rhythm than a town stay. Guests with a shared 8.6/10 rating in limited reviews tend to value the independence of the setup and the calm surroundings, with several visitors mentioning that it feels suited to unwinding rather than rushing from one stop to the next. The home’s terrace and outdoor spaces make it easier to plan meals around the weather, and the BBQ facilities are a straightforward way to keep evenings relaxed. Inside, the free wired internet helps if you need to stay connected, while the fully equipped kitchen supports longer stays or simple self-catering. If you’re arriving by car, the on-site car hire service can reduce friction when exploring the island’s winding roads. For guests traveling with pets, the property is pet-friendly, which can be a deciding factor for animal owners who don’t want to compromise. Check-in runs from 2:00 PM to midnight, and check-out is at 11:00 AM, so it works well for day-trip schedules. It’s also a good match for couples and solo explorers who are comfortable driving to viewpoints and beaches, including Garajonay National Park about 27 km away and Playa de Santa Catalina around 14 km from Hermigua. Families may find it best if everyone is happy with a car-led itinerary and time outdoors rather than constant walkable amenities.
