Lovely villa, within walking distance of a few places to eat. Pool and hot tub were great. Games room was good but a little smelly and I wouldn’t have wanted to be sleeping down there. Some new pillows are needed. The walk up the volcano behind the villa was lovely with panoramic views.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Carmen. As a group of 6 adults and 4 children the Villa provided us with all we needed. The pool and outside area is very well positioned with plenty of seating and sunbeds, the games room was a real bonus. The layout of the Villa is perfect for multiple families. It is very well equipped and usable.The communication from the start of our booking to the end was faultless, Sonia and Daniel were of great help and support to our group on our first visit to Lanzarote.We had such a great time that we have booked again for next year.Thank you for the memories Villa Carmen.

Lovely break in a lovely villa
A lovely well needed break in the sunshine. Central to drive to either to the Rubicon Marina or Playa Blanca Town. The villa was spacious comfortable and in a secluded area. Perfect facilities and great to choose either the pool or the hot tub. The games room was fab as well.We loved it there and hope to return. Gerry was very friendly and really knowledgeable, about the island and made sure we knew how to work everything in the villa.It was great to be able to use the washing machine as well meaning i just had to unpack when we got home.

Overall it was a most enjoyable stay. The villa was spacious, well appointed with attractive interior decor. It was very suitable for families of different ages having the swimming pool and the games room.
Unfortunately there was a bad smell in the downstairs bathroom which came and went during the week and did affect the couple sleeping downstairs.

Great stay spoiled by flood and sewage.
Hi Sonia, feel a bit disappointed you haven’t had anything to say about the flood and sewage in the downstairs rooms, everything was great until the last couple of days and the downstairs toilet flooded and then the drain outside the downstairs bedroom overflowed and splashed up the walls and stank, not very nice for my son, his partner and 5 year old and 7 month old boys.

The villa was spacious, clean and comfortable. We stayed for a special family birthday and ages ranged from 23-70, we all had a ball. The only thing I would say is that taxis weren’t always readily available so if anyone in the party has mobility issues, I’d recommend a car. There is ample parking available.
Communication with the villa owner and property manager was quick and easy throughout.

Quiet residential area, with mini market close by. 40 minute walk down hill to central Playa Blanca. Dead easy to order a taxi if not up for the walk.

Our arrival was excellent, we were greeted by Gerry who was lovely. The villa was lovely and clean, and everything we expected. Our only negatives were that we did not have hot water for two days and continued to have issues with delays in hot water. Another issue was the heat pump for the pool had a slight crack which caused a few leaks. A final issue was the dishwasher, we had to purchase salt and rinse aid as well as further dishwasher tablets, and the plates/drinks still came out dirty quite often.
