Lanzarote self catering cottage in the Canary Islands

Description of Lanzarote self catering cottage in the Canary Islands

Couples and families, especially those with young children, will adore this charming cottage set in a private eco retreat in northern Lanzarote. The surrounding community, a traditional Canarian fishing village, is peaceful yet has plenty of restaurants for eating out, and a supermarket, as well as a beautiful beach.

The accommodation is self-catering, sleeping up to 4 adults and 2 children or infants, and is particularly suitable for families with younger children and babies looking for somewhere tranquil, fun and safe to holiday. Guests have use of a shared swimming pool, which is solar heated, and a relaxing sun terrace, both of which are gated. There is a children’s play area on-site, a babysitting service available, and lots of friendly animals around including the resident donkey, and hens laying fresh free-range eggs.

Other amenities worth knowing about include a contemporary walk-in shower, a fully-fitted kitchen with washing machine and dining table, and an ‘honesty bar’ in the pool area. The views from the terrace and the private lounge area of mountains, coast and fields are sublime.

You can spend your holiday exactly as you wish. Perhaps that means giving the kids their first swimming lessons in the pool, or catching up with all the books you’ve been missing as you lie on a Polynesian-style on the shaded patio. However, if you wish to explore the area further, then there is a fantastic range of activities close by that your hosts either organise themselves or can help you to book.

For the sporty, there is windsurfing, sailing and surfing, sea kayaking and even scuba diving available. For those who prefer to sooth mind, body and soul while on holiday there is yoga, or several other holistic therapies to try. And there is also the option of joining a chartered fishing trip, or taking a cycle ride along quiet country roads.

In the evenings either prepare your own meals in the well-equipped kitchen, or head into the village for a meal out. Hosts can assist with preparing meals and milk for babies, as well as recommending car hire options.

Lanzarote is a fantastic place for a family or couples’ retreat. This lovely cottage is just the icing on the cake.
