| Villa Casa GAIDA is more than a country
house, but classical embracement of what is most authentic of the magical island,
Lanzarote. Situated in a unique spot at the foot of the mountain bearing the
same name and just outside the Natural Park of La Geria, CASA GAIDA offers its
guests: Traditional Canarian architecture,built aproximately 2 centuries
ago. Large interior rooms with thick walls and high ceilings providing plenty
of light and stable temperatures – fresh in summer and warm in winter. It
has been restored in accordance with the philosophy of César Manrique:
light, spaces, art ... Exterior spaces. The house is situated on a enormous
14 hectare estate, comprises of gardens, allotments, cultivated areas of volcanic
ash and fruit trees...leading directly to the mountains and the Natural Park of
La Geria. For those who enjoy hiking, there are various footpaths leading from
the house itself to beautiful areas in la Geria and Timanfaya. The essence
of la Geria,for its wine, water and cultivation.
- There is a well of drinking
water in the house, which filters through volcanic ash from the Gaida mountain
and is collected in a small well. Guests may use this delicious water for drinking,
cooling, ..etc.
- A traditional wine cellar where the guests can taste the
malvasía wine, made by the house owners.
- The cultivated land surrounding
the house, which is covered ash(picón), to stop the moisture from evaporating,
produce vegetables and seasonal fruit. Visual space.- Incredible scenery
can be seen from the house, with views out onto the mountains, sea, Arrecife,
Puerto del Carmen and the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. Being a sparcely
populated village with little illumination the uninhibited beauty of the sky is
there to behold; making the view at night seem like something taken from a Fairytale.
