Accommodation:
This large detached bungalow lies in 1000 m2 grounds (more than twice the area of newer villas) lying some distance from adjacent villas, overlooking green belt, and away from any through roads, makes it a very quiet and secluded villa. It is built in traditional Spanish style, being ‘U’ shaped around a central part-covered patio, which faces onto a large sun terrace and electrically and solar heated pool. The secluded terrace and pool face onto green belt, with boundary walls to provide privacy whilst not obscuring the view. One bedroom with shower room lies in one arm of the ‘U’ as a separate annexe making it particularly suitable for groups who want some independence, intercom to main bedroom. All principal rooms have direct access to the partly shaded patio through French windows. The rooms are of generous proportions eg the lounge is nearly 6m square (20 ft square). The plot and villa are all on one level making it suitable for people with walking difficulties. Parking for 2 cars
Playa Blanca:
At the southernmost tip of the island, this once fishing village has been developed into a peaceful, pedrestianised resort with lots of safe beaches. Along the shore there is a promenade, which runs the whole length of this area. The restaurants along the sea front overlook the small main beach where you can have a drink or meal whilst keeping an eye on your children playing on the beach. A wide selection of shops and supermarkets are on the street parallel to the promenade. Most of the Playa Blanca area's restaurants and shops are located in this area. In the centre there is a harbour, from where you could take a ferry to the other Canary islands, and views of the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. Further along the promenade there are 2 further beaches and a marina. The Marina has dinghies and boats for hire as well as a scuba dive centre. Further still is the nature reserve of Papagayo with its beautiful beaches (5 min drive or 15 min cycle along relatively flat coastal path).
Car Hire:
The Villa is so relaxing you may find you a car isn’t necessary as the village amenities are so close. The House Manager provides an airport pick up and transfer service at a cost of 30 euros per car (4 people) each way.
However a car will let you explore the island and visit the Timanfaya national park, the Aqua Park, Golf Course, horse riding, night clubs or small villages like Playa Quemada for a quiet meal. Nearby are the beautiful beaches of Papagayo, designated a conservation area which are a 5 minutes drive away, or a peaceful cycle ride along the flat coastal promenade. Cycles can be hired in the village, per day or week for a small sum. Diving is widely available, and at the marina there is a sailing school with dinghy hire and a Sunsail centre where Yachts can be hired.
Car hire is available either at the Airport (Arrecife) or in the resort.
Other Activities:
mini golf, pitch and putt
