La Casa de los Naranjos

Style

Orange is the new black

Setting

Lanza-hotty

A treasure trove of antique frills and frippery, La Casa de Los Naranjos is as boutique as they come. Built over 200 years ago, the emblematic manor house sits at the foot of the Peñas del Chache, surrounded by 30 fragrant orange trees from which the hotel takes its name. It’s quite the scene, and interiors are equally coo-worthy – a charming mix of antiquarian finds, original features and comforting contemporary touches spread across eight rooms, a library full of 19th-century volumes, candlelit dining and lounge spaces and a sun-dappled courtyard.

Room Service

At the Hotel

Beach towels and umbrellas, free WiFi throughout. In rooms: Nuxe, Portus Cale and Keiji bath products, free bottled water, TV on request.

Our Favourite Rooms

It’s room number 1 for a reason; mainly, the remarkably spacious bathroom and the standalone vintage tub that adorns its centre. Room number 5 is another heartbreaker with its palm-painted panels crowning the bed.

Poolside

There’s no pool, but within a 15-minute radius of La Casa de los Naranjos, you’ll find several wild, white-sand beaches to shack-up on.

Packing Tips

Bring along a trusty pair of hiking boots for scaling the island’s numerous volcanic climbs.

Also

Meow! If owner Jose’s antique collection doesn’t steal your heart, the resident kittens Socks and Gabardina definitely will.

Children

Welcome. Babysitting can be arranged for €10 an hour with 24-hours notice and the restaurant will happily whip-up kid’s versions of whatever’s on the menu.

Food & Drink

Top Table

For views of the town’s thousand palms opt for dinner on the terrace. If, however, you’ve ever fancied yourself in a period drama, the candlelit dining room has just the ticket for a subtly costumed cosplay.

Dress Code

Time to dig out your best vintage finds – just like Jose’s interiors, we’re serving old-school elegance with a hint of modern eccentricity.

Hotel Restaurant

Much like the other spaces of the house, the hotel’s petite restaurant is antique-chic with chandeliers, vintage paintings and a rather bodacious grandfather clock. Chef Pedro Jorge Hernández Felipe uses local market ingredients to create a rotating menu of fine European fare. At breakfast, go for the Nordic toast, a decorative take on the open sandwich, and when it comes to dinner you can’t go wrong with the duck rice.

Hotel Bar

There’s no bar as such, but guests are welcome to order a glass of Canarian wine to take on the upper terrace, patio, salon or library.

Last Orders

Breakfast runs from 8.30am to 10.30am and brunch from 10.30am to 1pm. Take afternoon tea between 4pm to 8pm and the last seating for dinner is 8:30pm.

Room Service

Available in-room or a location of choice between 8am and 12am.

Planes

César Manrique International Airport is a 40-minute drive away. The hotel can arrange taxis for up to seven people, prices on request.

Automobiles

Wheels are a great option for exploring all that Lanzarote has to offer at your own pace. On-site parking is free for guests and open daily between 7.30am and midnight.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

One of Macaronesia’s most dramatic islands, there’s much more to Lanzarote than its tired old resorts-on-sea reputation. Moulded by its volcanic terrain, the island has a rich history of swashbuckling pirates, mediaeval feudalism and, by some accounts – thanks, Jean de Bethencourt – polygamous women. Thankfully (or not; we’re not here to judge) most of the island’s modern-day offerings can be enjoyed with less than three husbands and only the pirates you’ll encounter will be staffing the Museo de la Piratería, which, coincidentally, is also a great way to spend a rainy afternoon. The hotel has a number of curated experiences to whet your cultural appetite: discover the traditional houses and fish-forward cuisine of the Canary’s eighth island La Graciosa, or sail along the east coast stopping off at unpopulated coves and protected natural spaces. For the oenophilic among you, a visit to La Geria’s lava-forged vineyards followed by a sensory tasting of the island’s local grapes is sure to please. On Saturday mornings, make a beeline to Haria’s Artisanal Market where you’ll find all manner of farmhouse fare and local crafts. Pop into the César Manrique House Museum, a space dedicated to the artist who shaped and protected Lanzarote from the fishbowl fate of its siblings, before visiting his public oeuvre dotted all over the island such as the Cactus Garden, Jameos del Agua and Mirador del Rio. Finally, fasten your laces – the 90-minute trek up the Mirador del Haria is worth every step for its unparalleled views of the village and surrounding islands.
