Large 2 story house and a fine example of Canarian architecture of this period. The ground floor was originally the storage area for provisions and the second floor, the living area of the house. Today, the house comprises of two separate apartments, each with its own private entrance.Many original details have been restored, for example in El Fraile II, the original firewood oven in the kitchen, the spacious rooms and the tradional window seats.El Fraile I is smaller, but equally warm in atmosphere. The interior is divided by large archways and what was once the wine cellar is now the living room. The decoration in both houses has been carefully chosen, with a mixture of antique and rustic style furniture.Outside are large gardens with many plants and flowers.

This house owes its name to the Dominican Monks who lived there, before founding the Convent, Saint Dominic of Guzman (1515 - 1520) and from where the area �El Convento� takes its name.The cobbled path that leads to the house remains the same as in olden times. Here too, is the tree lined path which crosses the upper part of the area, linking it to San Pedro. From San Pedro one can start walking to Garajonay National Park.
