A Word from the Owner:

"Eco Finca de Arrieta is a unique, tranquil retreat providing the perfect base from which to discover the hidden charms of Lanzarote. We promote living in harmony with our environment - the villa and garden cottage are built from stones from its grounds, our eco-energy systems and green credentials are superb and our free range scrambled eggs with freshly picked tomatoes are scrumptious! The retreat has been designed so that our guests can be as private or sociable as they choose. Our guests have a wonderful time holidaying in this paradise that we are lucky to call home."

Customer Feedback:

"Our week at the Eco Villa at the Finca de Arrieta showed us a side to Lanzarote that most people don't know exists - not a package tour, coach party or ugly hotel block in sight...just sandy, unspoilt beaches, fantastic local food and drink within spitting distance and hosts who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. As for the Finca itself, we loved the fabulous design and decor, organic fruit and vegetable garden and free-range hens (almost everything you need to prepare the perfect tortilla espanola!) and the kiddie-friendly animals on site (great entertainment for our two under-fives) - and it's all run on wind and solar energy! A fantastic example of eco-tourism and sustainable living that's not just good for the environment, but stylish and comfortable too. Can't wait to return. "

"What a pleasant surprise, quiet, peaceful, totally different, out of this world. We stayed in the Eco Garden Cottage which was wonderful, exactly right for us. Wonderful and magical. So easy going, I loved the fact we could go and get our eggs in the morning all fresh and free from the 40 chickens and feed them scraps and visiting Mollie the Donkey every afternoon who seemed to wait in anticipation of our visit with an apple or carrot. The wine that Tila got at a very reasonable price was local and delicious. The amenities were great and just of the beaten track to the beach and some wonderful restaurants. Thanks Michelle and Tila and Freddie, for a wonderful experience. Definitely to be repeated."

"I just returned from a wonderful 10 days with my friend Aria, staying in the Eco Villa at the Finca de Arrieta. We looked for weeks at all options in the Canaries before choosing to stay at Arrieta, because we wanted sun but didn't want to end up in a sprawling tourist development. We were delighted with our choice; the villa was spacious and well appointed and Michelle and Tila and their family were very friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed mixing with the other guests in the communal areas also - thanks again Simon for the amazing barbecue! The fresh eggs were a highlight for me as was the fact that we were in an area that felt ''unspoilt''. We will definitely return."

"We had a wonderful relaxing break staying in the Eco Yurt in March 2009. Michelle and Tila are fantastic hosts and made us feel really welcome, along with their lovely kids. The Finca is very chilled with some beautiful beaches very close by (definitely recommend a car). One of our highlights has to be lying in bed with the door open looking out to sea! Thanks for a very special holiday."
