Wow!

As soon as we stepped over the threshold we wanted to buy the property! Unfortunately Jan and Jane were not forthcoming!!! If you were going to design the ideal holiday retreat for two in Lanzarote this would be it. It is positioned in the village of Tabayesco which is well placed for all that the north of Lanzarote has to offer as well as easy access to the south. It’s position up a small track with views down to the sea and up to the hills makes it very peaceful and we spent many a happy hour sitting on the sheltered terraces just reading and taking in the views aided by the odd glass of wine!! As very keen walkers there are many walks either direct from the property or a short drive away. There are excellent maps and walk books provided. The property itself is very well equipped, a home from home. Jan, realizing that Judith was a keen cook even provided us with a new set of saucepans! There is a library of books which we made good use of during our month’s stay. The bed was huge and extremely comfortable with glorious views out of the window. There was also an electric blanket and a small electric heater for chillier nights. Even though we did not need to use them it was nice to know they were there, something which had been lacking in other properties we have stayed in. Jan and Jane were excellent hosts. Available if we had any questions but very aware of our privacy. We had regular visits from Clifford the cat who came to make sure we were OK and to be fed his daily olive! He is very well behaved and if you are not an animal lover he does know that he is not supposed to enter the property!! There is a local supermarket just down the road at the garage in Arietta. We did a large shop in the Euro Spar in Costa Teguise which has a larger selection of goods. There is a small freezer provided at the property as well as a washing machine in a small outside room which were very useful as we were staying for a month. There is also wi-fi. We also visited the market on a Saturday morning in Haria where we bought fresh fruit and veg from the community co-op which also has a butcher, fresh fish counter and a deli where you can buy excellent take away home made dishes. We cannot recommend this property highly enough. We frequently stay in self catering properties both at home and abroad and this must rate as the best. We have already decided to return next February. A big thank you to Jan and Jane.
