"A wonderfully peaceful and beautiful spot."
Part of a 300 year old former farmhouse, the garden apartment at Finca Botanico has been fully renovated and offers stylish and comfortable accommodation for two people in an idyllic and tranquil edge of village location.
The property is entirely independent of the rest of the finca ensuring total peace and privacy for guests and is located in Guatiza, just five minutes drive from the popular yet unspoiled beach at Arrieta and five minutes’ walk from Cesar Manrique´s world famous cactus garden.
Finca Botanico boasts a beautiful private courtyard garden which is packed with mature tropical plants, and divided into different chill out areas with comfortable seating and an outdoor shower. Enabling guests to relax in style and enjoy a real feeling of outdoor living and a connection with the stunning surrounding countryside. Whilst internally the property has been furnished and decorated to a high standard, offering guests free high speed Wi-Fi, smart TV and a wood burner for winter nights.
Beach towels are provided as well as bath towels and linen.
The village of Guatiza retains an authentic rural and unspoiled character and Finca Botanico is surrounded by fields where local farmers cultivate a variety of produce. A supermarket, cash point, bars and restaurants are all within a few minutes’ walk of the property, with wonderful scenery and plenty of delightful country walks right on the doorstep.
The Garden Apartment can also be combined with the Secret Garden Villa for parties of up to six guests, subject to availability
Guest Reviews
Highly Recommended, Wonderful Getaway.......Olivia and Walter M, March 2019
We stayed for a week earlier this month and could not have been happier with Finca Botanico. The gate in the road looks very anonymous and is hard to open but once inside there is first the glorious tropical garden with seating places in sun and shade and then the little house itself. Very simple, there is first a sitting and dining area with well equipped kitchen to the left, with a pleasant bathroom with walk-in shower behind and a bedroom beyond that. The bed is a five-footer and there is plenty of storage space, although annoyingly no chair or stool on which to put day clothes taken off at night. Gaby is delightful and very helpful and responsive. Gautiza is wonderfully situated in the middle of the island so all points of interest (and there are many) are not far away. We much enjoyed the landscape and all the Cesar Manrique sites and would highly recommend this accommodation and the island as a wonderful getaway for sunshine with more than a touch of culture.
Glorious Finca, Beautiful Garden.....Kate and Jay, Feb 2019
We are extremely happy here in this glorious finca with its beautiful garden. We came for sunshine, peace and rest and this place ticks every box and more. Gaby is lovely and we plan to come back again next year. Lovely scenery and great walks, and good road and bus links.
Haven of Peace and Tranquility........Paul D and Charlotte H, March 2018
We can’t praise the Finca Botanica enough, the accommodation is well equipped, welcoming and tasteful; Gaby was welcoming and helpful; and the walled garden a haven of peace and tranquility; a memorable stay!
Lovely Apartment and Garden........Bill and Mary S, December 2017
The apartment and garden are as lovely as the pictures show they are. The apartment is modern, clean and well equipped. The bed is comfortable and everything works well, including the wifi. Finca Botanico is ideally located for exploring the island by bike or car, especially if you want to spend more time in the northern half. You can walk to Manrique's Cactus Garden or drive to the beach at Arrieta in 5 minutes.
Beauty, Peace and Quiet............John and Marion, 01 May 2017
If we closed our eyes and imagined our ideal private hideaway on Lanzarote, it would look like Finca Botanico! The garden has been designed to provide sun and shade, and has an amazing variety of plants (as well as a healthy population of lizards!) The house has all you need - a well-equipped kitchen area, an airy lounge and a comfortable bedroom. The property is on the edge of the sleepy village of Guatiza, so it is wonderfully quiet. And the night skies are amazing. The supermarket is a 5 minute walk away and has most of what you might need for self-catering. Gaby, the owner, looked after us very well and was on hand to answer any questions, and suggest places to visit.
If you want entertainment and noisy excitement, this is not for you! But if you want beauty, peace and quiet, and privacy in an unspoilt part of 'real' Lanzarote, then look no further. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
Excellent, High Quality Accommodation................Diane H. 01 Mar 2017
We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks' stay. We had researched our choice of accommodation carefully and wanted a nice garden for relaxing in, a comfortable bed, a walk in shower and wi-fi in a quiet yet accessible location. Finco Botanico had all these things and lived up to our expectations. Gaby and Nick were good hosts and although we did not need much support we knew they were there if we needed any information. Many thanks to them both - a lovely place to use as a base to explore Lanzarote.
