Fincahotel Las Calas

This noble house from the 19th century situated in the heart of the island of Gran Canaria, which in its day belonged to a distinguished Canarian family, was for many years a summer residence. In 1998 Magüi Carratalá undertook its restoration and conversion to the present Hotel Las Calas. In the restoration the conception of the original architecture was rigorously respected. The conservation of this building, of sober and elegant architecture, invites one in its restoration to look at the historical past of the island, transmitting tradition and history, and at the same time, a free and innovative spirit with the incorporation of contemporary aesthetics. Each room has been designed exclusively. They are all fully equipped and combine designer equipment with antique furniture from the island with clear Arab influence. The decoration surprises, with pieces and materials brought from the most diverse corners of the globe, each room obtaining its own style and atmosphere. Las Calas has 9 Rooms, 4 Standard Double Rooms, 2 Designer Double Rooms, 1 Junior Suite, 1 Junior Suite with Hydromassage and 1 Suite. Unique rooms, different in distribution, colour and personality, but identical in comfort and service. In Las Calas the peace of the vicinity entraps the traveller when he or she crosses the entrance to the hotel. The house is an explosion of life and colour with exuberant vegetation, and in its 2,000 square metres trees of different species alternate (plum trees, pear trees, orange trees, lemon trees, mandarin trees, almond trees, firetrees and Canary Island viburnums, cypress trees, palm trees, tree bindweed&) with plants that flower during the different seasons of the year (arum lilies, lavender, hydrangeas, dahlias, camellias, rosemary, lilium&). The estate is bounded by small areas of fruit trees and kitchen gardens. A place where it is easy to escape from the world for a few days, to succumb to the simple pleasures of life, to enjoy moments of silence, to diminish the rhythm of everyday life, returning to the equilibrium that nature gives us and of which we are a part.
