THE RESTORATION
The Restoration General - the basic concept has been to create a balance between the old and the new, the aesthetic and the practical. Working with the best professionals in Lanzarote and incorporating precious materials from Asia, have enhanced the beauty of this unique building.
The well known designer, Luis Ibáñez, and the architectural firm of Estudio 96 directed by Jose Maria Pérez, are just two of the many participants who have contributed during the past three years to bringing this great project to fruition.
THE CEILINGS - Three of the building's ceilings, which date back 300 years, are made of pine. Their restoration has proven slow and arduous but the results are impressive. The two upper storey ceilings are true reproductions in mulberry of the originals below and crafted by a carpenter from Teguise itself. More Details
THE CISTERNS - The new one is approximately 15m³ and the old one, with basalt arches, is approximately 30m³.
THE WALLS - The original walls are in fact 50 - 70cm thick with doors that connect almost all the rooms on the main floor forming a perimeter around the patio.
THE WASHROOMS - They are located on the main floor next to the restaurant. The walls are finished in jade tiles imported from China, high ceilings and the most modern fittings and accessories. More Details
