Without context, it's hard to tell, but I think it's referring to something that belongs to Hortensia rather than to Hortensia herself. I've never seen "aconseable" before and can't find it in the dictionary.

Now would you please go back to your profile page and fill in your levels of proficiency in Spanish and English? It's hard to know the best way to communicate with you and help you learn without that information. Also, it's nice to know whether you're male or female since it often makes a difference in language usage when speaking to or about you. People will be much more likely to help you and to vote for you if you do that one simple thing. You might even get a better answer from a native Spanish speaker. I am but an advanced beginner.

My guess is: No sé el de Hortensia sea el más aconsejable.... I don´t know if Hortensia´s man is the one most willing to accept advice.

This is just a guess, as AnnRon said there is no context plus there are spelling mistakes.
