description
Our Gran Canaria hotel can be found nestled high in the heart of Gran Canaria’s rugged mountains in the tiny hamlet of La Lechuza.

Once a 17th century manor house, now a cosy country inn. Renovated in 1999, the inn is a comfortable mix of traditional Spanish furnishing and African flair, with rooms built around a verdant central garden. Your neighbours are the productive farmers of this rich agricultural region – the weekend market at the nearby village of La Vega de San Mateo will be filled with their juicy peaches, pears and fresh-picked greens.

travellers' tales
Found the use of the old buildings/renovation of them fascinating, retention of old features in the rooms (we had an old oven in ours), the different levels of the garden and the fruit trees - just wonderful.  (more)

  • how this holiday makes a difference
    Staying at our Gran Canaria hotel has a direct benefit on our area and its population. Local farmers, families running small restaurants in the village, independent crafters and artists and young, talented people increase their job opportunities thanks to our guests.

    Places otherwise known only to local insiders become popular and this benefits all the people living there. All this is managed with the utmost care to safeguard the local environment.

    The philosophy of the hotel is a natural way of living. Rediscover sensations. The Canarian / Mediterranean cuisine is based on natural food, elaborated with organic products from the area. We buy milk and other organic products from the farmers in the hamlet. We use locally available materials and eco-friendly paints. We use local craftsmen/builders.

    All the staff at our Gran Canaria hotel are people resident in the village so we create employment in the area. We have solar power to heat the water of our rooms. We recycle our wastes and separate glass, metal, paper, plastic, have low-energy bulbs and use biodegradable bags. We collect the rain water & we use it in the gardens & our little plantation and have two water butts. Our toilets have water savers and we ask guests to reuse towels and sheets more than once. We haven't publicity, only a website to save paper. Our construction uses natural materials like wood & stones and use local eco cleaning products. Our gardens are formed by endemic canary flora, so we collaborate to protect them.

    We reintroduce native plants in our environment & we educate guests & locals about surrounding habitat offering to our guests to plant a native tree. We give our guests information about hiking routes from our hotel with stops in local restaurants & a nice fruits & vegetables market. They love it. We offer taxi services & the possibility to rent a bike.

    Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people.

    We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel.

    'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left).

    We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays.

    We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism.

    This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards.
