Playa Blanca holiday villa: La Goleta

My wife and I stayed at Casa Alexander in Playa Blanca in Mid June. Not only was the weather beautiful and the town of Playa Blanca lovely, but the villa was exceptional. Extremely clean and well maintained, spacious, had all mod-cons and the location was very nice.

Set 5 mins drive from town it is the ideal location to get away from it all and chill out. We hired a car to tour some of the island but even without a car there is a reliable bus service close by the runs into town every 30 mins.

I highly recommend this villa to couples and families who enjoy sitting around the pool relaxing and are looking to get away from it all. However town of Playa Blanca with it's array of shops and restaurants are within easy access.

Stayed here for a week in June and had a lovely time. The villa is perfect and a real home from home with some lovely touches (candles, flowers etc). The pool was lovely and we didnt even make it to the beach as we just stayed there every day.

The owner is a real pleasure to deal with and answers any queries very quickly. Details on the villa, how to find and access were brilliant and we had a totally hassle free holiday.

Brilliant and would definitely go back

My partner and I had a wonderful time on our holiday to this very homely villa . We have visited lanzarote many times but this has been our best visit yet due to the total relaxation we got staying in such a pleasant , clean and peaceful home. The hot tub was a great way to end each day and i'm missing it already.

My husband and I have just returned from a two week stay at Casa Alexander and we had the most fantastic time. It was the first time we have booked direct with an owner and were surprised at how quick and easy the whole procedure was. The description and photos of the villa were very precise and the reality more than matched the photos.The owner was friendly and helpful throughout the booking process with plenty of useful information regarding directions and the villa's ameneties. The villa was clean and beautifully furnished with a decent welcome pack to greet us. Apart from a lack of beer glasses, it had everything we could have wished for. The covered outdoor eating area was really useful to shelter in if the wind became chilly. There was a wide selection of novels to choose from and a choice of dvds to watch (which we did on one rainy day). The owner's representatives called on the second day, were very friendly and made it clear they were only too happy to help if we needed them (we didn't). The gardener called once to maintain the lovely garden and the cheery pool guy dropped in a few times to check the pool and hot tub. Ah - that tub! It has to be one of the best features of the property. We swam in the pool a few times but we spent every evening in the warm water of the tub drinking sangria and looking up at the stars. The only drawback was the chilly exit in the cool evening breeze!
We always hire a car and would certainly recommend this to see all that this lovely island has to offer. Don't miss Fundacion Cesar Manrique (his house built in underground lava bubbles), Cueva de los Verdes (a walk along an underground lava tube), Mirador del Rio (a stunning lookout point), Los Hervideros (wild and dramatic coastline), Jameos del Agua (can't describe it - just go there) and finally the Timanfaya National Park where you must not miss the death-defying coach trip for the most fantastic view of the rugged volcanic landscape. The resort of Cala Blanca is very pleasant with a range of shops and restaurants without being too touristy. You would need a car to get there (or a taxi) as it is not within walking distance of the villa which is situauted in a very peaceful area to the west of the resort and, whilst not totally secluded, it is private enough. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone who wants a quality villa holiday at a price which gives excellent value for money.

We really enjoyed our week in this lovely villa. The home is incredibly well equipped, with exceptionally thoughtful touches such as a huge movie selection, great library, wonderfully heated pool and a very soothing hot tub. This is a great villa and the owners have a real flair for making you feel right at home.

Thank you so much and we'll be back!
