La Casona de Yaiza

A charming little hotel on Lanzarote

La Casona de Yaiza was built around 1825 as the summer home of a wealthy landowner. More recently it became the focus of a small group of artists and hotel professionals who have turned it into a hotel, restaurant and art-gallery. Naturally, the artists have created an interior worthy of their talents, while the wonderful views and surroundings are entirely the result of nature.

The hotel is located in the beautiful Fenauso valley, with the Timanfaya national park on one side and the Papagayo beaches on the other.

The interior of the hotel recreates the art of the Italian Renaissance and the Spanish artists' belonging to the roman School. By placing a varied range of decorative works for the guests' pleasure artist German Carregalo pays homage to the century in which the house was originally constructed. Beds, canopies, wardrobes, lights and paintings, together with the works of art decorating the ceilings of the upper floor rooms, and all of the furniture which graces the hotel makes up a harmonious collection that is in contrast with both traditional Canary architecture and the volcanic wilderness all around.

The hotel has 8 beautiful rooms including 3 suites, large and comfortable, and each named after one of the little places around the Fenauso valley that can be seen from the windows of the hotel. Several rooms benefit from private terraces too, and of course they all have the usual amenities that you would expect in a hotel of this quality.

Outdoors, there is a garden and terrace, and a swimming pool with a jacuzzi alongside. Right beneath the house are ancient stone vaults (once used for water storage) that have been renovated for use as Casona de Yaiza’s own permanent art gallery.

Restaurant:

The traditional “Lagar” restaurant housed a wine press until recently, squeezing the juice from locally grown grapes. Now it is the setting for fine dining, under the supervision of Chef Cristina. She offers a huge range of Mediterranean, Canarian and International cuisine, as well as the best of Iberian “embutidos” and tapas. Most evenings of the year, it is also possible to dine on the outside terrace.

Breakfast is a comprehensive buffet, as well as items cooked on request.
