ヴィラエッセンス：ランサローテ島、コニールのユニークな農村ヴィラ

A warm welcome to Villa Essence from the owners, Debbie and Richard

Richard is a keen cyclist and came to the island first in 2008 to train for long distance cycling events. It soon became his favourite destination for early season bike training - the variety of terrain and the dramatic landscapes provide a fantastic range of routes depending on how energetic or relaxed you are feeling on the day.

Debbie is more of a sun-worshipper and enjoys relaxing around the pool.

When renting a villa for ourselves we had gravitated towards the southern side of the island though prefer the quiet and privacy of rural locations, rather than the hustle and bustle of the main tourist areas.

When looking for a place of our own on Lanzarote we chose Villa Essence, not only for the facilities and space it provided, but because of it's fabulous position. We have panoramic views of the southern mountains, ocean and islands, a peaceful location with dark star-filled skies (on clear nights!), and easy access by bike or car to the central spine road of the island and beyond. Maybe we should call that the wine road of the island as it traverses the many small but excellent vineyards and bodegas from La Florida in the east, to Uga in the west. For cycling, there are quiet roads and no big hills to climb first thing in the morning (!) but there are also a variety of local walks and direct access to the whole of the Timanfaya National Park. The villa is also directly located on the new GR131 walking/mountain biking route that spans the island from Playa Blanca in the SW to Orzola in the NE. Nevertheless we are only 10 minutes from the airport (though can't see it and seldom hear it!) and 10 minutes by car from the wide variety of shops and restaurants in the main centres of Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero. We think it's just about perfect. We hope you do too.
