Beautiful villa with private heated pool close to the beach with Wi-fi

We shared the house with two friends and found that it was perfectly laid out to accommodate two couples. The beds were very comfortable and everything worked as it should. The interior of the house is well laid and nicely furnished but the real treat is the outside space. The pool is a good size and heated. There are plenty of places to either enjoy the sun or shelter from it. The garden is in the sun the whole day. We had bananas to pick directly off the tree (palm) and at other times of the year you could be picking figs or grapes. The barbecue is very good but the charcoal from the local Spar is rubbish unless you like barbecuing on dust. We found the Superdino near the bus station to be the best stocked supermarket although the parking is a bit of a challenge. They have a good supply of things to barbecue and stuff to drink while you are doing it. The villa is conveniently situated for restaurants and bars and small supermarkets for bread and milk. Flamingo beach is very sheltered and pleasant. The cleaners were very efficient and the place was very clean and well kept. All in all a brilliant package.

My mother, sister and I booked a two week stay in this villa (semi detached property). The owner Teresa said she would not meet us until the following morning, so we let ourselves in and immediately were met with a cold damp musty smell. We were unable to work the wifi or tv as there were no instructions of any kind. After one hour of trying to sort out the TV (I later found out there were only 3 English speaking channels) I rang Teresa to ask her how it all worked and that the villa was very cold. She arrived one hour later with an electric heater. I asked where the best supermarket was and she said the name was in the information sheet and I could look it up on Google. She had no time to say where it was or that it had a car park under it. This would have taken maybe 30 seconds to explain and been of a great help to us had she taken the trouble to inform us of this very basic information.

My sister and I were in the two bedrooms with the single beds, and neither of us slept, and in fact we had hip and back pains from the discomfort of sleeping on such hard mattresses with wires clearly visible. I phoned Teresa about this and she kindly replaced the two mattresses three days later. We had 4 nights of these dreadful beds.

The main problem with this villa was the very loud traffic noise from the main dual carriage way which the property is on, which meant we were unable to use the garden in comfort. Additionally the noise from the other half of the semidetached house at night. Another neighbour, who in our second week, had the builders in with their electric drills, saws, grinders and hammers all day long! We had no respite from the unbearable noise!

When I mentioned the smell from the bathrooms and kitchen, Teresa said we could move out if we were not happy! Well, as bad as it was, I did not want to put my 87 year old mother through the turmoil of moving during what was supposed to be a restful holiday in the sun. As she wears hearing aids in the daytime, the noise did not effect her at night and we decided the best way to tackle the noise problem was to spend our days out of the villa. At night we had the choice to either keep the windows closed to reduce the noise or to have them open for fresh air, a difficult choice we should not have had to make.

The 1.1 meter deep pool was not warm enough to take a dip in, don't know if you could actually swim in it being so shallow.

We are seasoned travellers and can not recommend this property!

I stayed at Villa Vistafuerte for a week with family. This is a great little villa situated just outside Playa Blanca main town. A cab cost 4 euros so no big issues there either. Lovely pool area, everything maintained well and met with Teresa who was also lovely. Hope to stay again in the future. Recommended.

I've never written a review before, but thought I would just this once...

My family and I (2 adults, 3 childen - 8, 8 and 5) mhave just returned froma sunny week in Lanzarote.

The villa was just as we expected. A little tricky to find in the dark whilst driving a hire car when you're tired, but we found it all the same.

The property was neat, tidy and clean.

A couple of negatives:

It would have been nice to have a couple of dishwasher tablets to start us off (I tend to chuck everything in the dishwasher when I first arrive so I KNOW it is clean)

More than 1 bin liner would have been good

A kitchen roll would have been nice

Maybe more than 1 toilet roll in each bathroom...?

We didn't have a cork screw (so we bought one and left it in the drawer) - you're welcome :o)

Pool towels would have been nice. The description suggests towels included so we left pool towels at home which was an error!

Were any of the above deal breakers....? NO. We stilll had a great week. The pool was great, beach an easy walk, Teresa helpful, super markets near by and plenty of resaurants and bars.

Thank you for letting us stay. xx

The Villa was incredibly clean and very well maintained, the outside area was amazing!!! Lots of seating and loungers and very pretty. Pool was a good size!

Villa was very well located to Playa Blanca, around a 10 min walk to the main town, and a 5 min walk to Flamingo Beach, which is a lovely sheltered beach.

Teresa welcomed us with a basket full of fruit, food and other essentials such as milk, bread, jam, butter etc, which was really thoughtful, she was very helpful and infact let us stay late on our day of departure as there was nobody coming into the Villa the next day, which was really kind. In the room there was a flat screen TV and a docking station for music which was a very good idea.

We will hopefully be returning again soon! Take me back now!

Only downside was there was some traffic noise when in the garden but overall everything else more than compensated for this, and garden was very private and not overlooked at all!

Other areas to visit were El Golfo, very beautiful and restaurants right on the sea and there was great fish! Marina Rubicon is definitely worth a visit- very pretty, with restaurants and shops, takes around 1 hour to walk from the Villa along a board walk which runs the whole length of Playa Blanca- lovely walk! Timanfaya National Park and volcano worth a visit too- go early or late afternoon.
