Debbie provided all the advice we needed to ensure our stay was perfect, and considering that this was our first family holiday away with 2 young children, and our first driving abroad, that is no small thing!
The villa is an incredibly short drive from a local area (Tias) where you can pick up supplies if you wish to stay in the villa for the day,
Otherwise, you can visit the entire Island so easily, down to the beachfront in 10 minutes, up to the bodegas (highly advisable) to test the winery produce, or a bit further to head to the capital (Arrecife) for some culture, or to the old capital (Tequise) for a picturesque look at the beautiful cobbled streets bustling on market day.
Lanzarote is a brilliant Island for a family holiday, hot weather almost 12 months of the year, the food is better than the other Islands, the beaches are brilliant with activities on the larger sections, and quieter areas for relaxing.
You could also just spend the entire time at the villa, there is a heated saltwater pool (and it is as nice as it sounds!), there is a large gas fired barbeque with a fridge and sink and WC close by so you don't have to head down to the house. There is a great choice of TV channels and a fast internet connection with excellent Wi-Fi coverage (I was able to log in to my work server for a couple of hours a night with no delays etc...). The architecture is brilliant, and the owner has clearly spent time bringing the whole thing together.
In short, we will definitely be coming back; as long as the place has not been booked already!
