El Sitio

Top choice in El Hierro


Tucked away just outside La Frontera's centre, surrounded by sloping countryside, this reimagined bodega is an utterly charming, eco-conscious hideaway. Cosily styled rooms occupy a cluster of converted whitewashed or stone-walled buildings amid twinkling gardens and have a soothing boho-rustic look, with printed throws, artwork and kitchenettes. Massages (€60), a yoga room, hiking/biking excursions, local tips and more.

Yoga retreats are often hosted here, and the helpful team also hosts a few arty rooms in nearby Los Llanillos.
