La Casona de Yaiza is a very nice boutique hotel on inland Lanzarote…read more The building and surrounding complex is fabulous. I especially liked the wonderful flowering shrub that makes a beautiful tunnel at one side of the building. Te courtyard outside the reception office and dining room was also a pleasant spot to sit in. The courtyard was kept spotlessly clean. The room was cool, despite having no air-con. The bed was comfortable and the flat screen TV enabled us to watch TV and movies on our laptop (we brought the HDMI cable ourselves). There is WiFi too, which was available near reception and the dining room. The pool offered welcome break from the hot hot sun, especially after a day hike or a bike ride in the surrounding area. The breakfast buffet was quite good, a fine array of food to chose from. Dinner in their restaurant was nice, but the wine was quite expensive, by Lanzarote standards. It was lovely wine, but 21 EUR. The manager was a very nice guy to deal with. The waiter, a little odd, but was always paying attention to his diners. There are few things that make this review a four star instead of a five star: The lack of storage in the room. There was very little storage and one chest of drawers (which was in the bathroom) only had one drawer with a working handle. The lack of light in the bathroom. We could open the shutter, but the window was right by the courtyard and generally there was someone out there that could see in. The lack of staff at times, once when we arrived to check in and then during the day at the bar. But still overall a nice experience here upon our arrival to Lanzarote at La Casona de Yaiza.

If there was a drawback it would be the lack of a swimming pool. Sit in a private garden style terrace and read undisturbed and enjoy the sun. Currently undergoing a renovation to increase its size and facilities, the hotel has its own website and booking enquiries can be made online.

Lets go wine tasting!…read more Such a wonderful experience at the Bodega. We were blown away by their beautiful cactus garden which is located in front of the entrance. The Bodega is quick large and I really enjoyed the informative displays all around walking us through the process of wine making. Once we viewed the nice museum inside the Bodega we walked out to go visit the actual vineyard. It was very impressive, its a place I have never seen before with a very unique style of hole pits for each grape tree. It was very impressive! After we walked around the allowed areas we went inside to their nice tasting room and tasted a few of their unique grape wines. I really enjoyed all of them and we were happy to take some home with us as our souvenir. I would highly recommend visiting one of Spain's oldest vineyard's. It is such a unique experience and such a beautiful one of a kind landscape!

We had a wonderful tour and tasting experience at El Grifo. It is the oldest winery on Lanzarote,…read moreand the tour through the museum was so informative. We appreciated learning more about the challenges of grape growing on the island and the unique landscape. Highly recommend booking one of the guided tours - we learned a lot about the terroir and saw some incredible old vines that were untouched by phylloxera. The winery is working on interesting new projects including winter harvest. We enjoyed several of the wines and stayed for some delicious local cheese and ham.
