We really enjoyed our holiday staying at Casona de Yaiza. Lovely place to come back to after a day's walking and sightseeing. Our favourite walks were the circuit from our hotel in Yaiza to Femes, great views from the beginning. Stopping for some lunch in Femes at a bar with views down to the coast before heading back. Also the Haria circular which had spectacular views from the cliffs. The circuit round Mount Tinasoria was great, unfortunately we picked a windy day, very breezy on the top. Make sure you find time to have a coffee in the friendly bar opposite the Church in Uga. We also purchased a take away sandwich from here to take for our picnic, can highly recommend. We had booked a few extra days, after our week with Inntravel, further north, and the plan was to visit La Graciosa but unfortunately our last couple of days we were on lockdown so never made it. Perhaps we will have to return.
A delightful week of sun away from winter rain in U.K. La Graciosa visit was the highlight - pick a calm day for the ferry. César Manrique museum and Hariá well worth the visit. Meals enjoyed at Casona and La Era.
Our highlight? Day out to and walking on La Graciosa. If possible sit at the back on the ferry where movement is least. There is a super baker on La Graciosa to provide an excellent picnic.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip having never been to Lanzarote. The Cesar Manrique home in Haria and the Foundation were highlights for me. The volcanic scenery of the National Park, including the coach trip and the vineyards of La Geria (and the volcanic white wine) were much appreciated by both of us.
This was an excellent holiday, based from a charming and characterful rural hotel with very good restaurant. The walks were varied, and the 6 walks we did ranged from lovely to stunning. The notes provided ideas for fascinating visits, from lava tubes to wine tasting. We recommend adding a few extra days to do the island justice.
We did Walk 1 on la Graciosa to Playa de las Conchas but felt it was a shame to just go there and back. Instead we followed the footpath to the north of Montaña Bermeja and then followed the coastal route back through Playa de Lambra and Pedro Barba. Very picturesque and well worth doing. Around 5 hours including picnic stop.
Lanzarote was a great surprise - we fell in love with the island! Our personal highlight was the trip to La Graciosa plus César Manrique - fascinating and beautiful.
The Casona provided an excellent base for a week's exploration of a fascinating island. The view from the summit of Atalaya gave a very good introductory overview. We very much enjoyed learning about the volcanic history and highly recommend a visit to the visitors centre near Mancha Blanca. Walking highlights included the ascent of Caldera Blanca, and the descent into Monte Cuervo, as well as the ranger-guided coastal walk. None of these were physically severe, but rough going underfoot, so we were glad to have boots. In total contrast we enjoyed visits to Teguise, and especially liked the atmosphere of Manrique's last home in Haria. After a very wet winter at home the sunshine was very welcome, and a good temperature for walking, but we would echo previous comments and emphasise the need for some cosy clothes for morning and evening at this time of year.
Not our best Inntravel trip but interesting nonetheless especially Timanfaya and La Geria
We were impressed at the quality of food everywhere we went, it was amazing to get two coffees in "tourist hotspots" for around euro 2.40! The island seems laid back and the locals want the visitors to be there. Even in mid-January we enjoyed 18 to 23 centigrade during the day and probably only down to 15 overnight. It was great to sit in the courtyard for breakfast, and only had to resort to going inside on one damp morning. It made an excellent January break from the wet and gloom of January at home. We ate in the hotel restaurant on 6 evenings and enjoyed both the food and the local wines - the black rice and mixed paella can be particularly recommended though everything was excellent.
Worth visiting some of the other things on the island such as the Cesar Manrique house and museum and the sites that the local ministry of culture (CACT) run are also worth visiting - their multi-site tickets give savings and are valid for 2 weeks. If visiting the volcanic park queues onto site start mid-morning, so worth going early, again prices in the restaurant there were reasonable. Apps are available for both, and the Cesar Manrique one provides an audio guide to both sites which we enjoyed and the CACT one information about their sites.
Overall the walking was great, the arrangements were well done, the recommendations for things to do really helpful. Our best day was the trip to La Graciosa. We enjoyed Lanzarote very much. Our only real grumble would be the restaurant at our hotel, which was otherwise good. We found the menu inconsistent. One starter we chose was very large, another very small. Several of the main courses could only be ordered for two, in advance. One fish dish we chose having had it described in the fish of the day turned out to be a few deep-fried ribbons of something insubstantial with a few crisps. Even allowing for things lost in translation, this was not a main course. A cod tempura main course came with no accompaniments, just a piece of fish! There was some good food but it was unreliable.
Lanzarote has a recent (18th and 19th C) volcanic history and as a result, the landscape is spectacular. Of particular interest are the wine growing areas in the black lava fields which yield a very acceptable wine. The coastal path walk including across the wide sandy beaches on the south coast are well worth the effort. El Golfo on the west coast is worth a visit and the restaurants there offer a spectacular view of the Atlantic waves crashing on to the lava cliffs. Highly recommended.
Lanzarote is very different to the other Canaries we have visited, but is full of interest despite the semi-desert environment. Walking highlights were Risco de Famara, Haria, and the Yaiza-Femes circuit. On that last, don't be put off by the cluster of masts on top of Atalaya. The view from the top over to Fuerteventura and around is spectacular, and you can only get it from the top. Away from walking, the experience of entering the auditorium at Jameos del Agua as a recording of a Mozart Requiem was being played was something very special. Wildlife was disappointingly scarce, the most obvious birds being the ubiquitous and unusually confiding Berthelot's Pipit - even looking for crumbs at our picnic sites. And a 'must' for a starter at the Casona is the octopus. Utterly delicious!
Really liked the fact that we did not have to do lots of research on what to do and where to go. Information provided gave lots of options and description on what to expect so we could choose which we preferred. Very important as we were very busy for the weeks before the holiday.
Walks and restaurants recommended all good. In addition, the restaurant Bogavante in El Golfo was good and the restaurant Bodego de Uga. Our favourite in Yaiza was the La Era. The Jameos del Aqua was disappointing, the Coevade Los Verdes much better.
Lanzarote was a pleasant surprise with good walks and places to visit. A car is essential to get around the island in order to see the contrasting scenery and sights. In particular La Graciosa is a must to visit. Getting to the main attractions early was essential to avoid the crowds. Delicious fresh fish and superb local wines were a relevation.
Thank you again Inntravel for choosing lovely accommodation in a beautiful setting. Sadly we couldn't do as many walks as intended. But we did visit the caves and had lunch in the restaurant which was great. The north of the island provides some spectacular views. We recommend a visit to all corners of the island. The cafes are excellent and the restaurant Costa Azul at El Golfo is not to be missed the fish is fabulous. On a lovely evening the view would be wonderful. The car is a must parking is very easy although we were there in March. All walks in the pack allow for covering all landscapes on the island. A good time had by all.
We particularly liked walking through the lava fields. We couldn't do the Haria walk on Saturday as there was some sort of event going on and the place was heaving. We were diverted by a policeman and there was nowhere to stop. If you are not a good sailor, it might not be a good idea to go to La Graciosa as the swell can be fierce! The walk over the island was somewhat spoiled by the number of landrover taxis tearing past.
Another very successful Inntravel holiday and only regret is not staying for 2 weeks! The accommodation in Casona de Yaiza is excellent and we ate there every evening apart from the Wednesday (restaurant closed on that day). Last year we stayed on Fuerteventura and certainly this stay on Lanzarote did not disappoint and we had good walking and beach time taking many photographs of the rough seas. We walked to the beaches east of Playa Blanca but in our opinion the beach of Playa del Paso near El Golfo and that of Playa de Famara were more enjoyable.
Wonderful location with excellent food and many cultural highlights - would recommend.
Your suggested Finca de las Salinas restaurant was closed. In its place, we suggest El Chupadero, a wonderful tapas restaurant 4 km north of Uga. It's down a small dirt track and very modestly signed, so you need to gauge the 4 km carefully in order not to miss it.
The two restaurants we visited recommended by you were v. good: Costa Azul and Bodega de Santiago.
We had a great walking holiday with Inntravel. From the choice of airline (Jet2, friendly staff, absolutely no queues) to the small, family run hotel with an excellent restaurant, we could not fault the arrangements. We would definitely use Inntravel (and Jet2) again.
Excellent walking on a strangely beautiful volcanic island. Quiet and unspoiled away from the beach resorts.
Hotel Casa de Hilario is charming, rustic in the right way, extremely pretty and with lovely views. Rooms are clean and showers are hot. Having breakfast outside in the gentle morning sunshine is fabulous, as are sundowners after a long day's walk, on the terrace. Personal highlight was the fabulous walking across a wonderful dramatic landscape with amazing otherworldly volcanoes which can be climbed up to or into depending upon the route you take. Particular highlight, which was not a walk recommended but which in our view should be, was the Caldera blanca, up to the top of the volcano and walking around the tops. The entire booking process and holiday experience from beginning to end was extremely easy and Inntravel were helpful, professional, efficient and friendly. It all worked extremely well and went like clockwork. We will definitely travel with them again and would highly recommend them - this was our first experience of them.
If the holiday is at the beginning of February our advice would be to take warm clothes for the evenings, which were quite cold. Although it was sunny during the day a chilly wind was with us for all of the holiday. El Golfo was a nice place to have a late lunch.
This location and hotel was another excellent choice from Inntravel. We loved the character of the place and the peaceful surrounding. Despite a disappointing week weather wise we had a superb week walking and eating and relaxing. We are planning a return so we can perhaps make use of the pool which looked very tempting!
Full marks to Inntravel for excellent organisation and research that enabled us to make the most of every minute we spent on Lanzarote. Whilst a week of mild temperatures and sunshine in January felt very health-giving, it was the fascination of the island's volcanic landscapes that dominated our walks and explorations. The most recent eruptions, which resulted in the stunning scenery of the Timanfaya National Park, happened less than 300 years ago. Walks 5-9 in the Inntravel folder take you across lava fields and into volcanic craters. The National Park Visitor Centre was a good introduction offering films and demonstrations (free entry). Sights such as the Green Lagoon (Charco de Los Clicos), the red and black shades of the Montanas del Fuego de Timanfaya and the interior of Monte Cuervo's crater were like nothing we had ever seen before. All this does not mean to say Lanzarote is a barren island: the areas of older volcanic activity are being recolonised by colourful lichens and wildflowers. The cultural landscape is also beautiful, with the black soil and half-moon stone walls of the vineyards and the white villages with their shady squares and courtyards. The island has many interesting, excellent museums including El Patio Agricultural Museum and the Museum of Piracy at Teguise. We found it to be a welcoming island with a laid-back atmosphere and offering good local food. For us, it was an inspirational week's holiday.
HIGLIGHTS: Food at La Casona, El Golfo, Timanfaya National Park, the influence & presence of Cesar Manrique, Cliff walk at Haria, Restaurante Salmarina at Playa Quemada, El Grifo Wine Museum
Our base was excellently placed for access to all walks. The permanent blue skies were wonderful for walking in January, but morning and evening temperatures required warm clothing. We enjoyed the variety of walks and clean beauty and colours of volcanic scenery. Unfortunately we considered La Graciosa too far for day trip. We enjoyed swimming in Playa Papagayo.
Bodega at Casona de Yaiza had better food and was better value than the one at Casa del Hilario. But overall food on Lanzarote very good. Highlights were the extensive views from the tops of the hills or the high cliffs, without expending too much effort to get there! No crowds, and 7 days of sunshine.
Don’t forget to pack a jacket in January like we did! The evenings are very chilly and no heating. The village supermarket was great for picnic stuff, loved the Griffin local wine. The hotel was very pretty, great views and good food. We had our fifth Inn Travel holiday and it was as good as we expected, thank you.
Our best walks were the first half of the walk to Femes, Around Monte Cuervo, and the beach walk was surprisingly enjoyable. We did not really enjoy Risco de Famara. It was vertiginous and the beaches were no better than the north side of La Graciosa. We were so pleased that we went to La Graciosa and did the heartland walk. It was so different to the main island and the views were great. We would have liked to have stayed there a night or two. Seeing the houses and works of Cesar Manrique was a highlight for us and we liked Haria and its surrounding area, preferring the landscape to the south. We also liked Teguise and Femes.
Highlights: the otherworldliness of the volcanic landscapes, the character of our hotel, easy to drive and park around all the island, great food away from the 'strips', and the sun was out for 6 days out of 7
Lovely island with some unusual hiking in the volcanic landscapes and memorable tourist attractions. Timanfaya National Park and the Jameos del Agua are must sees. We enjoyed the peace of Yaiza.
