This villa is the most spectacular in the popular Anfi Tauro complex in the quiet and idyllic Tauro valley.
Imagine waking up to the sounds of tweeting birds as the sun rises over the golf course beside the villa. Take a dip in the private heated swimming pool then relax in the hot-tub. When you are up for it, brew some coffee and have breakfast in the garden. Plenty of time for golfing or sunbathing later :-)
The villa is very well kept and equipped and has 3 double bedrooms with 3 ensuite bathrooms and a guest toilet.

Interaction with guests:Â I am a project manager who has been working on vacation rentals for 10 years - well before it became so popular.
I am very proactive in communication and am happy to help with questions as all the reviews will confirm. They are brilliant reviews because we put in all the effort before your arrival so that when you arrive you can relax and enjoy your holiday.
Perfecte plek met een tophost.
We verbleven een week met 6 volwassenen. De villa is van alle gemakken voorzien (zowel binnen als buiten)
Parkeren voor de deur, ruime (volledig ingerichte) keuken met een grote leefruimte binnen maar zeker ook buiten. Het zwembad en de jaccuzi zijn een goede toevoeging.
De villa ligt aan de fairway van Hole 1 op Anfi Tauro Golf. Wij hebben een ronde gespeeld, maar dat koste voor 4 personen bijna de helft van het bedrag waarvoor je deze villa een week kan huren......
Op aanbeveling van de host Gerard hebben we hele leuke trips gemaakt en prima restaurants gevonden. Binnen no time ben je in Playa Amadores, puerto Rico of Puerto Mogan ( de geoefende wandelaar redt het lopend)
Genoeg te doen, maar als je alleen rust en luxe wilt kan je ook de hele week in de villa verblijven. Echt geen straf !!

Wonderful place to recharge your soul
I have made many visits to Gran Canaria and always love staying in Puerto Rico, this yeah we found Gerrards Villa and the picture's didnt do it justice, the villa was immaculate, and had every convienence you could want, the addition of the pool and jaccuzi, was so nice to relax and just chill out.
The layout of the villa is really spacious and accomodated all our family with ease, its a very quiet location, but withing easy reach of Puerto Rico shopping center and Tauro beach was only a 15 min walk.
I would definitely stay here again, and Gerrard made us very welcome on arrival with lot of information reagrding the villa and things to do locally.
A truly wonderful place to stay.

Favourite Place to Holiday in Gran Canaria
We returned to the 19th Hole again, by far the best equipped villa in a great location, peaceful but close to the beach, Amadores and Puerto Rico resorts making it an ideal place for a family holiday

Love our stay here
This is our 3rd visit to Anfi tauro rentals. Gerard is extremely helpful with lots of local information and makes your stay the best it can be.
The villa is stunning, we love the space and it provides and every room having its own bathroom/ toilet is great.
The outside area is well kept with a lovely pool and hot tub for star gazing at night!
The local spar is reasonably priced and tauro grill is a friendly restaurant with great food and it's a very short walk away from villa. The community pool is very well kept and great to swim in. We always have a fantastic time here and would recommend it in a heartbeat! Puerto Rico, Amadores and Mogan are only cheap taxi journeys away, making Tauro a great place to stay. All of Gerard's villas are stunning and you'll not be disappointed.

Stephanie,
Thanks for the brilliant review and glad that you enjoyed your latest visit. We recommend people rent a car but many of our guests are happy to get around by taxi and it is not expensive. Just 5 euros from the villa to Puerto Rico. The local Tauro Grill restaurant is also excellent and their BBQ is highly recommended. See you again soon. Ger

Tremendous
I don't normally write reviews but felt this holiday deserved it so much. Once you step inside this villa you can relax and unwind completely. It is very clean all over from the bathrooms to the bedrooms to the Kitchen/Dining and beautiful garden and very well equipped throughout. We are a family of 6 all adults now and nobody wanted to leave this tremendous villa! The owner and his staff are also so helpful but to be honest we did not need anything - everything was as it was stated on their website and more. They had just completed fitting a new en-suite which was beautiful and a great addition. The area and the complex is very cleverly constructed all low rise and finished in stone which blends with the mountains and the lovely views to the golf course and the sea. Only one word to be repeated 'Tremendous'

Fab Easter Holiday
We had a lovely week at the 18th Hole in April. The house was very spacious and the garden really quiet and peaceful. The location is perfect for accessing Amadores and other beaches. The hot tub is a great addition.
The only down side was the temperature of the pool which was quite cold despite being heated.

Faye,
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that you enjoyed your stay. Yes, the hot tub is great but our pool is heated and we even have a new retractable cover to keep the heat in overnight. I will check with the pool guy but it should be around 24-26 degrees normally. If you come back to visit again I will personally make sure that the pool is heated nicely for you. Regards, Ger

Fantastic Villa
Just returned from a weeks stay at this wonderful villa 6 adults in total, ample space for all of us.
Before arrival was sent very good information on the villa & surrounding area.
Terry was there to meet us at the villa & gave us a quick tour.
The kitchen is well stocked with ample utensils & crockery, what ever you need it's there.
Three large bedrooms, 2 of which share a bathroom, the master bedroom has it's own ensuite. Enough indoor & outdoor furniture to accommodate all of us. Loved sitting on the raised balcony watching the sunset.
Had a problem 2nd day with tv, contacted Terry who fixed it the next day.
The hot tub & pool is what makes this villa outstanding & we used them daily, these were both cleaned during our stay.
The spar shop on site is very reasonable & well stocked.
6 seater taxi was only 4 euros to Puerto Rico & local bus stop close by.
Contact with Gerard was excellent, always replied quickly & was kept upto date with information from original booking to leaving the villa.
If anyone is thinking of booking this villa, book direct with the owner, I would have no hesitation doing this if we return to Gran Canaria.
Thanks Ger & Terry we had an amazing holiday and one that we will never forget.

Excellent - does exactly what it says on the package...
The place has all the amenities that are mentioned in full functional condition and the introduction on behalf of the owner was second to none. No excess of information that you do not want after a long days travel, but everything you need to know in brief format.
The villa is family friendly with privacy as well as common areas aplenty for three generations (as we were), and is situated in a very calm and quiet spot in the middle of the Anfi Tauro Golf Resort. The resort has a very well sorted SPAR super market, restaurant, common pool area, ATM and more.
Neighboring Amadores has a new ‘Super SPAR’ that was completed a week before our arrival and easy access to one of the Islands best beaches, lots of restaurants, cafes and bars.
All in all a very nice and quiet retreat, with everything within easy reach.

Puerto Mogan, known as Little Venice, has become quite accessible from Tauro since a new dual carriageway has been opened from Tauro in 2013 and is now about a 5 minute drive. The Friday Market is recommended.
Puerto Rico has vehicle access from Tauro through a tunnel and is now just a few minutes from your villa . Night life here is hectic but still far enough away not to be noticed unless guests wish to enjoy a special few nights out.
Las Palmas, the capital city , which is less than one hour's drive from Tauro boasts a modern Opera House, superb beaches and shopping attractions.
There are 7 championship golf courses on the island, with the most popular , Anfi Tauro, on your doorstep, as the villa overlooks the first fairway.'
Getting around
We recommend hiring a car and can put you in contact with a great locally run car hire firm. There is plenty to explore on the island and it is not just sand and beaches!
However, it is possible to get around with taxis and buses and they are not expensive. It is about 4 euros to go to Commercial Centre in Puerto Rico.
Access
Car advised
How to get there
Most owners pre-book a rental car at the airport and report back that it gave them great freedom and flexibility to visit the different attractions on the island. GPS can be used to get directly to the villa. I can help arrange airport pick up if required.
