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.
Recent improvements include the addition of a washing machine for guests staying for longer periods, barbecue, fibre optic broadband and IPTV which gives access to hundreds of TV channels and a video club with the latest movies, series, etc.
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

Fantastic First Visit to Lanzarote...Janice G, 31st January 2020
Just returned from a week in January in the Garden Apartment. We had a fantastic time, the apartment has everything we needed and more. Gaby was a perfect host giving us lots of local knowledge to make our first visit to the island such a success. She even saved the day by meeting us at the airport when a passport got left behind in the apartment on our return home. Thanks again Gaby.
Tranquil escape away from the crowds.......John H September 2019
Having visited Lanzarote on several occasion previously we wanted to stay away from the large tourist centres and thus booked the Garden Apartment in Guatiza. We really liked the sleepy feel of Guatiza and the lack of tourist and really felt like we were staying with the locals. The village itself has a smallish mini-market and one excellent Italian Restaurant that I would highly recommend for a simple but delicious meal. César Manrique wonderful Cactus Garden is on the edge of the village and a great place to be at first before the crowds arrive. In fact an early start is recommended for all of the wonderful attractions on the Island thus beating the tourist coaches that inevitably turn up. The Garden apartment is tucked away off Guatiza’s ‘main’ road behind a discreet and modest gate. Once inside you encounter a beautiful tranquil oasis of a garden and a simple but lovely little house which is perfect for a couple. The house is as described and as per the photos published. Do note there is no air con in the property which may be an issue for some during very hot periods but we found the property to be cool and tranquil when we visited in early September. You will need you own transport when staying in Guatiza to get the most of your holiday which I believe is very well situated for all the sights in Lanzarote. In summary a great place to stay away from the crowds which left us with the feeling we had visited the real Lanzarote.
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!
