Casona Santo Domingo, French restaurant and rural hotel in Güímar, Spain
Casona Santo Domingo is a rural hotel and French restaurant set in an old building in the center of Güímar, on the island of Tenerife. The house features wooden details, rustic furniture, a patio with plants, and a small fountain.
The building was constructed by a man named Bernardo, who also built the church across the street and was known for sheltering people in need in Güímar. From 2016, Nathalie Grossart and Yann Vidrequin took it over and renovated the space while keeping its original Canarian character.
The restaurant brings together local Canarian ingredients and French cooking, reflecting the origins of its owners Nathalie Grossart and Yann Vidrequin. The menu changes with the seasons, as the kitchen works with whatever is fresh and locally available at the time.
The hotel and restaurant sit on a quiet street near the center of Güímar, easy to reach on foot if you are exploring the town. A reservation is a good idea for weekend dining, as the place tends to fill up.
The restaurant serves homemade butter with pink pepper and Himalayan salt alongside the bread, a small touch that many guests remember. The rooms have no televisions by design, encouraging guests to disconnect and enjoy the surroundings instead.
