Charming
Rural Hotel in Vega de San Mateo, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands,
Spain
 |
This noble
house, the origin of which goes back to 1800, is situated 3 kilometres
away from La Vega de San Mateo heading towards Tejeda, in the hamlet Caserio
de La Lechuza.
In Las
Calas all the structural elements have been chosen in harmony with the
architectural tradition of the area. The stone and the wood distil
the rustic essence of the classical and the timeless, with ethnic brushstrokes
of far-away cultures such as the Arab culture, present in the bas-reliefs
and latticework of doors and windows and the rotundity of African art in
the numerous sculptures that punctuate the lounges.
The
niches and masonry work furniture adapt themselves to the walls with great
naturalness because of their rustic appearance, like the toasted yellow
tone, the same as that which covered the original building more than two
centures ago. |
| 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 squre metres, trees
of different species alternate (plum trees, pear trees, orange 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.
|
| Spaces
designed for relaxation, like the lounge with a fireplace for those winter
days, the swimming pool with hydromassage, a spacious, bright lounge with
music, the pergola or the gardens. Places conceived to transmit a
warm, cosy sensation or simply to rediscover sensations...
