Relaxing Holiday
Review Submitted: April 7, 2009
Date of Stay: March 2009
We had a lovely stay at Casa Verde. The villa was well furnished with an excellent array of dvd's, books and cd's for visitors to enjoy should the weather be a bit wild. The pool and hot tub weren't used as much as I thought as there could be a pretty fierce breeze and the thought of getting out of the water gave me the shivers! We were pretty lucky with the weather, some cloudy days and a bit of rain during the night but enough sun most days for my Scottish skin to handle!
The location is quite good but still a fair walk into the centre. If you want to get a big shop and don't have a car, we found it best to go to the Spar in town as there is a taxi rank just along the road and it only costs about 4 euros to get back, certainly worth it. I didn't mind the walk in but usually got a taxi back especially in the evenings as the street lighting leaves a lot to be desired.
We've stayed in a few villas in Lanzerote and I would say that this has been the best from a privacy factor. It has a pretty garden at the front and the rear is totally enclosed . The neighbours were mostly quiet, yes, there were a few dogs barking but mostly in the distance and mostly, I'd say, when their owners came home in the evening - you could set your watch by them! I can't abide noise and it never bothered me one bit.
We went to the Italian and Chinese restaurants in the nearest commercial centre a couple of times and they were very nice and also Molly's bar a few times with vague recollections of getting home - be aware of the large measures! Usually quite good entertainment there in the evening. We also tried a few in Playa Blanca and I'd say the standard was high but with the euro exchange rate being what it was, we certainly noticed our money didn't go as far.
All in all, we had a very nice holiday and would certainly recommend this villa to anyone.
