Artists and photographers flock to Lanzarote for its special light; this intimate hotel in the little whitewashed village of Mozaga is a favourite. Charming Maria has lovingly restored her family’s 18th-century house, built on ancient volcanic rock in the very heart of the island. Old family photos and heirlooms remind you it’s a genuine Canarian home, cherished and authentic – staff welcome you in the same hospitable style. Nearby, you can visit the well-known family vineyard with its small museum. Inviting farmhouse style rooms look onto the courtyard and are dressed with fine linen and plain fabrics; bathrooms are beautiful. Enjoy sophisticated Mediterranean and local dishes in the popular and softly lit restaurant, housed in former stables – once the home of a camel! Breakfast is varied, plentiful and delicious. There’s a charming terrace and volcanic garden in which to relax, with a hammock for dreaming in (and a small library with board games if the weather turns). Beaches and markets are close by; couples in search of quiet relaxation and the authentic Lanzarote will be in heaven.
A delightful haven with a lovely room and patio overlooking a lava cactus garden. Gorgeous terrace for evening drinks and an exquisite Manrique style lounge. Friendly helpful staff and an excellent restaurant. Near to El Grifo for fine wines and other vineyards.
