Accommodation
CASA ISAITAS takes its name from its previous owners: the couple
Isaac and Susana who, along with their three children, lived in the
house for many years after Susana inherited it from the people who had
brought her up; a schoolteacher (her godmother) and her two brothers
one a shoemaker the other a miller.
We rebuilt a beautiful ruin that
was hardly holding itself up when we found it. With the irreplaceable
help of family and friends together with a great team of craftsmen,
sound advice from architects and technicians, thanks to the support of
island institutions we began the restoration of the house with the aim
of recovering the most traditional flavour of popular Canarian
architecture.
During two years we rehabilitated it respecting the old building style
of exposed stone, whitewashed walls, wooden balconies, recuperating
doors, wooden beams, tools, whilst adding wooden balconies, galleries
and new rooms integrated into the original structure always offering a
comfortable space for its dwellers. Several parts of the house are over
two centuries old and are arranged around two courtyards (patios).
Since September 2001 it has been an oasis of tranquillity where our
guests feel welcomed and treated like guests of the house
