Choosing a holiday cottage in Chira offers a different way to experience Gran Canaria: along quiet lanes, through ravines, among highland scenery and unhurried afternoons outdoors. Around Cercados de Araña, close to Chira Reservoir, life slows down and makes room for what matters most.
La Montaña de Chira 1 (GC0273) is made for exactly this kind of stay. This holiday cottage sleeps up to three guests and forms part of a traditional estate with other adjoining homes. Its cosy scale and setting make it an excellent base for a couples’ escape, a small family holiday or a trip with friends looking to enjoy nature without planning every hour of the day.
Chira: Gran Canaria at its most peaceful
Chira lies in the mountainous interior of Gran Canaria, where slopes, pine trees and reservoirs shape the landscape. Here, a holiday is not about ticking off as many plans as possible; it is about walking, taking in the views and returning to a quiet home after a day outdoors.
Being close to Chira Reservoir gives the area its distinctive character. It is an appealing starting point for walkers and anyone who enjoys mountain roads, always with the calm that defines the island’s upland areas. A car is recommended for getting around freely and discovering the different corners of the interior.
This part of Gran Canaria is especially well suited to a true switch-off break. Start the morning with a stroll nearby, then end the day on the terrace, with no schedule beyond the sounds of the countryside and the changing evening light.
A comfortable holiday cottage for an easy escape
La Montaña de Chira 1 has one bedroom with two single beds, a living room with a sofa, a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. The kitchen includes a fridge, freezer, coffee maker, microwave and cooking utensils: practical for relaxed breakfasts or an easy dinner after a day on the trails.
The cottage also has a private terrace with outdoor furniture. It adds a great deal to a rural escape, whether for breakfast outside, reading in the shade or simply enjoying the fresh mountain air. There is also a television and electric heating, useful when the highland air turns cooler.
The maximum capacity is three guests, making it a good choice for travellers who want an independent stay in a compact, comfortable setting. If travelling as a group, it is possible to book several cottages on the estate at the same time, while each family or couple keeps its own space.
Shared pool and relaxed outdoor spaces
One of the highlights is the shared 2 x 4 metre swimming pool, complete with a sun terrace. This is not a stay designed around crowds or noise, but the pool is a welcome extra for alternating hiking days with slower moments on the estate.
There is also a shared barbecue area for enjoying a meal outdoors together. It is ideal after a day of walking or for a relaxed evening without leaving the accommodation.
Outdoor parking at the property makes arrival and day-to-day trips simple. In a rural area like Chira, having a car close by means you can stop at viewpoints on a whim, visit other inland villages or shape each day around the weather and your mood.
Ideas for enjoying a break in Chira
The most natural plan from a holiday cottage in Chira is to leave room for spontaneity. The local paths and routes reveal Gran Canaria’s interior at a gentler pace than the island’s coastal resorts.
Spend a morning walking near the reservoir, bring water and a few snacks, then return to rest on the terrace. Another day can be perfect for exploring nearby mountain villages, browsing their small local shops and sampling Canarian food.
To make the most of the stay, pack comfortable footwear, a warm layer for the end of the day and a willingness to step away from screens. Chira rewards those who are not in a hurry: landscapes best enjoyed slowly, long conversations and peaceful nights away from urban routines.
