Our New Garden Cottage blends contemporary elegance with the timeless tranquility of the countryside. As one of our newest accommodations, it offers a fresh, modern interpretation of La Danesa’s signature warmth — where clean architectural lines meet natural materials and expansive light.
High ceilings with exposed wooden beams create a sense of openness, while custom cabinetry and thoughtful design details bring balance and sophistication to the space. The king-sized bed sits at the heart of the room, inviting slow mornings and restful afternoons, wrapped in soft textures and calming tones inspired by the surrounding landscape.
Large windows frame lush greenery, allowing nature to feel ever-present. Step outside onto your private deck — a serene extension of the cottage designed for unhurried moments. It is the perfect setting to watch the sky shift into golden hues at sunset, cocktail in hand, as the sounds of the hacienda gently unfold around you.
Ideal for couples or guests seeking privacy with a modern edge, the New Garden Cottage offers comfort, style, and connection in equal measure — an experience that feels effortlessly refined, peacefully immersive, and unmistakably La Danesa

Once home to noble horses, our Restored Stables have been thoughtfully transformed into an intimate retreat where heritage and comfort meet. Original architectural elements blend seamlessly with warm wood finishes, soft linens, and artisanal details that reflect the quiet elegance of Hacienda La Danesa.
The space feels grounded and serene — thick walls, natural textures, and filtered sunlight create a cool refuge from the tropical warmth outside. A plush king-sized bed invites deep rest after a day of exploration, while subtle design touches honor the building’s storied past without sacrificing modern comfort.
Step outside into your private courtyard, a hidden oasis designed for slow, sensory living. Here, an open-air shower awaits — a refreshing ritual beneath the sky, surrounded by greenery and birdsong. It’s an experience that feels both liberating and deeply connected to nature.

The king-sized bed invites restful mornings, while the private balcony-style corridor offers a peaceful space to sip coffee at sunrise or share a glass of wine beneath the stars.
