Casa Isaítas

Top choice in Fuerteventura


One of the loveliest casas rurales on the island, the lovingly restored 18th-century stone house has two plant-filled central courtyards, traditional wooden balconies and an outside barbecue complete with giant paella pan; evening meals are an optional extra but recommended. There are just four rustic rooms, a couple of which were part of the original house. The restaurant is superb.
