The finca's apartments are housed in buildings that are over 200 years old and are furnished in the traditional Lanzarote country house style. During the renovation, care was taken not only to use soft ecological colors, but also to adhere to the color rules of the artist César Manriques: walls outside white, windows and doors in agricultural areas green. The partially bricked and tiled bathrooms, kitchens and furniture such as sofa benches and beds are also typical of the islands. All of this ensures that the entire area of ​​the finca has a very special atmosphere that invites you to spend a lot of time here.
