Following a great drive through the mountains on switchback roads you arrive in a haven of peace and elegance. Even the toilets were in a attractive building and neat architectural tricks abound. Relaxing seats in the gardens to take in the scene were a bonus. While the house was fascinating reflection of its time the highlight for me was the studio.Left as it was at the time of the artist’s death. Light streams in from high windows illuminating an architects work space and a dynamic artist’s workspace at the other end. A stunning studio still full of life decades after Manrique’s sudden passing.

Less "spectacular" than the Fundación or other places Manrique designed (Manrique wasn’t done with the house when he tragically passed away), but much more intimate. It’s seems like time has stopped there at his death, his personal belongings and atelier still as he left. It gives you a glimpse of the person behind the artist. If you want to capture the spirit of Lanzarote and of Manrique, the visit should be on your list.

Amazing experience, was able to do with 2 young kids. Aged 3 years and 5 months. We were able to hold our youngest on us and the older one walked. Not best for buggies as load of stairs and no flat floor. Its an amazing museum with all the insight around the most well know artist in the region. Count 1 to 1.30 hr for the visit

After visiting The Foundation and the LagOmar properties in that order we felt that seeing his final home at the end of our sightseeing was a fitting tribute to the great Cesar Manrique. To see his master paintings in situ in his and his guest bedrooms was humbling. He unfortunately did not live long enough to finish and then truly enjoy this beautiful tranquil space but he surely left his love for his homeland behind in his architecture, paintings and sculptures. The large studio filled with all the trappings of a prolific artist was very poignant, especially seeing the blue overalls draped over a chair next to the last piece he worked on, just as if he had just taken them off. Lanzarote is made deeply rich from the love of this man and his vision to recreate the wonders of his homeland.
