Designed house with jacuzzi & pool in Lanzarote

Hi, I'm Darek.

Together with my husband Andrzej, we're the owners of Casitas Santa Rita.

We first came to Lanzarote almost fifteen years ago for a holiday. We had no idea that one day we would call this island home.

We kept coming back. At first once a year. Then twice. Eventually, every chance we had.

With every visit, Lanzarote allowed itself to reveal a little more. Not through famous attractions, but through friendships, quiet villages and countless small moments that slowly changed the way we looked at life. Little by little, what had started as a holiday began to feel like home.

We realised there was another way of living. A quieter, simpler life. Little by little, the island revealed what Otro Mundo had meant all along.

Years later, by pure coincidence, we found an old blacksmith's house in the peaceful village of Guatiza. The property had only been put up for sale a few days earlier.

The house had a soul. From the very first moment we walked through the gate, we knew it was the place we had been looking for.

We decided to leave our old life behind, sold everything we had in Poland and began a completely new chapter.

Over the next few years, we carefully restored the house. The former blacksmith's workshops became two completely independent holiday casitas, each with its own private terrace, designed from the very beginning to offer our guests peace, privacy and a true sense of home. Between them we created a small heated pool and a cactus garden, a quiet place to slow down beneath the Lanzarote sky.

Today we share our home with Tarzan, our rescued dog, our much-loved cats Luna and Igo, and the memories of Coco, who inspired the name of one of our casitas.

We wanted to create the kind of place we ourselves had been looking for during all those years of returning to Lanzarote.

Now we'd love to share it with you.
