Being able to walk to a great family beach (Arrieta) with spanish holidaymakers mainly. Our teenagers felt free to go swimming, body boarding & surfing. After a day of swimming or discovering the island it felt good to come back to the Eco Cabin with its pergola and small garden with fruit trees (fig, orange, mango, apple). (more)Sophie Nelson

It is a wonderful place for a family holiday with small children and a great place to recharge your batteries. (more)Alison Brookes Day

Fabulously relaxing, beautiful island, relaxed yet very responsive hosts. A great experience...Great for kids with donkey rides, missions to collect eggs every day, and to hang out with other kids on the communal trampoline, pirate boat and playground. (more)Michelle Levene

We cannot recommend it highly enough. We will definitely be back. (more)Conor Gately

The holiday was brilliant from start to finish, great communication from the owners of the lodge and such friendly and helpful people on arrival and throughout the stay. We would recommend this holiday to anybody who would like a quiet and relaxing stay and enjoy the use of the Eco-cabin. (more)Daniel Holden-Jones

Memorable parts? Lovely apartment with amazing views. Tips? Local benefits? Yes Overall rating? Excellent (more)Tiffany Easton

It is a lovely setting, just bird noise, nothing else. Great to see the almond trees still in blossom, and we overdosed on oranges and Raf tomatoes (if you see strange coloured green / blackish tomatoes just buy them!). John's walks are excellent and he even put together some on-road cycling routes on a Garmin for us, as I had told him my husband is a keen cyclist. (more)Julia Sherwen

The situation of the accommodation and the friendliness of the hosts. (more)Jenny Dunlop

The most memorable was the sound of the Scops Owl at night. Finding a local natural water source and enjoying the pleasure of taking an impromptu swim! A wonderful chance to experience authentic Spain. (more)Helen Jenkins

Memorable parts? The spectacular mountain walks starting right from the doorstep following John's excellent guides. Also, driving to Nijar talking the scenic (hair raising) route through the mountains, memorable indeed. Listening to the birds in the morning, watching the stars at night Tips? Even if using it as a base for touring, don't miss out on spending some time enjoying the peace and tranquility at the cottage. Make sure you have and read the directions to get to the house...

We loved the apartment and listening to the sea. (more)Petrina Brooks

A hike across the amazing Timanfaya National Park led by Jose of Blackstone Treks was the most memorable. (more)Sarah Brocklehurst

The best part was staying in the tiny fishing village of Punta Mujeres and interact with the locals simply by having a cortado or getting a beer with the others. This is the best slow travel I have experienced. Highly recommended, if you want to walk, trek, read, write, have great food and surrounded by simple, kind people. An unforgettable holiday where the pace was slow and the locals very kind including the mini market at Punta Mujeres, the hair dresser and folks at Bar Palenka. (more)Priti Patnaik

The hiking and surfing was fantastic. I wish I still windsurfed as it looked incredible. Lots of friendly and guest service minded staff at our accommodations and throughout the whole island. (more)Nancy Carey

We expected the finca to be lovely but it far exceeded our expectations. The Garden Cottage was perfect for a couple who wanted privacy but still all the facilities of the shared areas...Excellent! (more)Helen Wilson

Excellent, a unique place to spend a week or so, totally relaxing, lovely people. (more)Rupert Green

Most memorable was the peace and tranquility, staying somewhere off grid. Different, enjoyable, relaxing, peaceful and fun. (more)Maria Masselis

The whole holiday was a relaxed and stress free experience beginning with travelling from the UK by train to the lovely surroundings and cosy cabin... It was a wonderful relaxed holiday, lovely setting, very friendly and helpful owners. (more)Birgitte Bruun

The most memorable part was watching my daughter see the stars for the first time! Zero light pollution! Also, I was so surprised by how much there was to do on the island. Nice to wake up each day and know it was going to be sunny and dry! (more)Angellique Sunter

We really enjoyed the boat trip to Isle Graciosa – the operator organised it. We went on a RIB speed boat to get there, then went snorkelling, walking through the town and a beautiful lunch. (more)Michelle Christensen

Absolutely lovely. It is probably a huge cliche but seeing the children laughing and playing by themselves and with new friends meant I was more relaxed - it all just ticked over perfectly and resulted in a great holiday. (more)Kate Macnab

We enjoyed relaxing, reading, swimming and sitting by the pool. Our kids were happy hence so were we! (more)Deborah Sigsgaard

Great. Beautiful place. V. Quiet and peaceful. Visit the Alhambra late afternoon for fewer crowds (more)Nicola Goddard

This is a really beautiful part of Spain as its all hills and valleys...visiting the Alhambra was the most memorable part of the holiday. (more)kay scoresby

Memorable parts? The large pond/small lake was perfect. Our children spent most of their waking time in the water, on the paddle board, in the boat or on the island. Some of us adults joined them ... but at the end of October, with no wetsuits, we mainly left it to them! It was heaven. We were able to sit nearby and talk, clutch hot drinks and laugh and take photos, without spoiling their fun. And all the while knowing there was a cosy house with woodburner lit, just a minute away. Tips? Book... (more)Helen Adshead

Geology of the volcanic landscape & collecting fresh eggs for breakfast from the site chickens was the most memorable part of the holiday... Relaxed. Energised. Enthralled. (more)Andy Hill

Very good....went bodega hopping for my birthday! (more)Chantel Dunn

Some of the most memorable parts of the holiday were: finding eggs in the hen house, lying in the bath at Fisherman's Cottage watching the sea, wine tasting at La Cantina, Teguise & at El Grifo Bodega and driving on the fabulous, twisty, unique scenic roads. (more)Georgina Tongue

We had a wonderful holiday, restful, with interested and knowledgeable hosts, who gave us tips advice, maps and passed on their love of Crete. (more)Mary Conneely

One of the most memorable holidays we have had. Chania is a gem, the Imbros Gorge is a delightful 8km walk, and off-season is still quiet. We found, thanks to John and Yasmin's advice, some beautifully quiet beaches. (more)David Jamieson
