Wow, what a fantastic property! The pool was the main attraction for us and it didn't disappoint! Deep, cool, large, beautiful setting in a well kept garden and views across to the other side of the valley. The house itself is the best equipped villa we've stayed at, there's nothing you'd want or need that isn't supplied and everything is maintained to a high standard. Plenty of hot water for showers, comfy bed, many thoughtful touches. The hosts are kind, helpful and available and genuinely care that you enjoy your stay. And the pool, did I mention the pool?!! Oh my. Thank you very much Matthias and Helena
Perfect place to have access to trails. Transport is essential and suggest a small car as the roads are very narrow and lots of bends.
We loved the villa and it’s very well equipped with a great wee pool for your aching legs after trail walking.
This is a lovely place to stay. Looks as good as the pictures. The property is large and everything you could want is provided. Excellent host, helpful and quick to provide information.
It was easy transaction and the owners are very helpful. The place is really nice and in a great location. The place is very well equipped, it’s like home from home. The pool is beautiful we will return again
We had a fabulous time.
Matthias & Elenor are wonderful hosts and could not of been more helpful.
Very rarely do we return to the same place but this place would be hard not to come back too. Excellent in every way.
Everything about the property is amazing, we absolutely loved the location and every single facility within the house has been supplied. We can't wait to come back! (Will let you know about both bedrooms next time as we aren't a couple - no matter)
We absolutely loved this house. The pool and garden are amazing and the outdoor space overall is just lovely. It´s in a quiet and beautiful area. The pool is deep and cold and we loved it.
The house is very well equipped, we weren´t short of anything. The burner in the kitchen/living room makes the room very cosy when it´s a chilly evening.
Would definitely recommend this house and would love to visit again in the future.
The villa was perfect for me and my sister as we each had our own bedroom and bathroom; separate but easy. It's very private and not overlooked which is also important. Beds are supremely comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped with high end dishwasher/washing machine et al.
Important to come equipped with food as a lot of restaurants were closed when we arrived, even in the early evening. A car is essential.

Stunning setting
Just wanted to say what a lovely time we had at your property. It was so well equipped with everything that we needed! The bed was the comfiest I have ever slept in and the shower and bath were lovely. Outside we had a great time in the bar area. The setting and views were lovely. The only thing that we would have hoped for was a warm pool, it was looked great but i only made it in once for a couple of seconds as it was so cold.
Thanks again for having us!
This property is so lovely and could be really peaceful if it wasn't for dogs barking in the distance. One you drive up a very steep entrance, the garden and surrounding views are stunning, plus the pool is huge, and as nice as it looked, the water was unbelievably cold, therefor totally unable to use during our four night break. We did go in December, however, at 29c recorded, I thought the pool would have been at least bearable.. And unfortuately, it's not heated.Helena the owner was very nice, also very helpful. This villa would have been almost perfect if the pool had been heated. Also, as it gets really quite chilly at night, it would be far nicer sitting at the lovely bar area if there were a couple of external wall heaters. All in all a lovely break away, however some finishing touches to the villa would make all the difference.
Really enjoyed our weeks stay. The villa has a rustic feel, but also very modern facilities. The pool is large enough to actually swim, though it was cold when first entering. We spent probably all the time on the sunlounges around the pool or sat in the covered outdoor area. Though we didn't use them, there are a number of heaters in the various areas as I guess being in the mountains it could get cold outside of the summer months. If you have good footwear, you can walk into Santa Brigida in around 20-25 minutes, but the climb to / from, the town is on a steep rocky path so not ideal for carrying shopping so a car is probably essential and not too large a car as the drive is a bit narrow and there is not a great deal of turning space inside the villa grounds. The directions provided were easy to follow and the drive was probably only around 25 minutes from the airport. I'm guessing their must be a micro-climate on Gran Canaria as the skies around the villa always had clouds, but when we ventured to Puerto Rico / Mogan (less than 1 hours drive) in the south of the Island it was cloudless.

Nice things to know
I usually don’t write reviews but this time I’ll make an exception. There’s a lot of good things to say about this little house (see the other reviews) but there’s also some things that’s useful to know for future guests:
The text mentions and the pictures (19-24) show the so called pool house with a double bed. If you book the house for 2 people, you will not get access to this separate building. It comes with an extra cost. Nice to know, if you are not a couple or for other reasons want to sleep separately.
Even with the entire hood of the car ON the road, you can’t see anything from inside the car when you exit the property. It’s mandatory to have a person on the road helping you to exit down the steep road. Not for the faint hearted!
The pool was (as other reviewers mention) very cold. We visited in the end of January and hoped for a little dip … but no. It was dirty and it looked like a chlorine lock was happening in the water: milky/hazy water.
The pellet oven needs some attention and planning during your stay and still it will not heat the house evenly through the rooms. It is hard to reach the exact temperature you wish for as the thermostat is somehow living it’s own life.
Es hat alles rundherum gepasst.Der Pool ist wundervoll.Das Haus liegt wirklich gut um von dort aus die Insel zu erkunden.Wir werden sehr gerne wiederkommen.
Excellent séjour au sein de la Casa Gecko. La maison est très bien équipée, le jardin et la piscine au top.Un vrai coin pour se reposer et se retrouver en famille. Seul bémol mais qui n est pas lié à la maison : les aboiements des chiens du village jours et nuits…
L'endroit est vraiment sympa.La piscine est vraiment spacieuse et agréable.Le pool bar bien équiper avec tout ce qu'il faut ainsi que la maison.Un peu plus d'informations concernant le fonctionnement de la pompe piscine et le robot aura été un plus.Dans l'ensemble, je recommande cet bel endroit.La seule chose qui m'a déranger un peu, c'est que dans certains commentaires des personnes annonce que c'est très calme. Personnellement, je ne trouve pas que c'est très calme puisque la maison se trouve en surplomb d'une route juste en dessous avec de nombreux passages de camions et de voitures.A noter, que le soir, presque plus personne ne passe et devient calme.La nuit, cela nous a donc pas empêché de dormir fenêtre ouverte
Super hébergement avec tout ce qu’il faut en terme d’équipement! Le seul bémol pour nous qui sommes frileux nous n’avons pas pu profiter de la super piscine. Les températures n’étaient pas encore très élevées! Mais nous recommandons à 100% la Casa Gecko!!
Das Haus war sehr schön gelegen und liebevoll eingerichtet. Ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge und Wanderungen. Der Vermieter sehr hilfsbereit und immer ansprechbar.Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen.
Absolut fantastisch. So kann man es beschreiben. Sehr freundliche Vermieter, ein tolles Haus mit schöner Ausstattung, nicht 08/15 sondern alles liebevoll und zweckmäßig eingerichtet.Komplette Kücheneinrichtung mit allem, was man braucht, um die frischen Sachen vom Markt zuzubereiten. Ein Grill, Waschmaschine, Geschirrspüler, einfach alles da.Die Lage in den Bergen sorgt für angenehmes Klima, manchmal auch ein paar Regentropfen, aber es sind nur 20 Minuten bis Las Palmas und den tollen Stränden dort. Richtig toll ist auch, dass man das nächste Örtchen zu Fuß erreichen kann.Absolut zu empfehlen!
Wir haben uns im hervorragend ausgestatteten Haus schon sehr schnell wie zuhause gefühlt. Die Lage ist als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge und Wanderungen ideal. Der Pool lädt zum schwimmen ein, solange das Wetter mitspielt. Aber auch so kann man sich im Ausbereich gut aufhalten u d entspannen.
Wir hatten zwei tolle und erholsame Wochen in diesem Ferienhaus!Der Pool ist sehr groß, sodass man richtig dort schwimmen kann. Leider gibt es hier in den Bergen sehr viele Ameisen, die sowohl im Pool als auch im Haus unterwegs sind. Der Pool musste deswegen gerade bei Wind häufig von uns gesäubert werden. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist hervorragend. Hier gibt es sogar eine Dartscheibe, mit der man sich auch bei schlechterem Wetter (bei Regen) die Zeit vertreiben kann.
