We had a great time - relaxing, some beautiful experiences (beaches, hills, islands and all the above animals). We were in bed every night by 9.30pm - tired but blissfully comfortable after a day spent exploring. (more)Jayne Obeng

Perfect!....The best thing about the holiday was having no internet connection & very little mobile coverage. It made it a total break away & allowed us to appreciate everything about the location of cottage & the amazing surrounding area. It was a complete break away which is what a holiday should be.

We have lots of lovely memories so it is difficult to single any one thing out.

(more)Katie Wheatley

Our stay was a unique & happy experience, unlike any previous holiday. While it can be a challenge to get there, the effort is repaid abundantly. It’s an eco-chic vacation in a cottage where everything can be taken care of, according to one’s wishes. One returns refreshed in mind & body. (more)Bryan Parker

Birds, bats, bees, lizards, pine martens, countless types of flowers and olive, eucalyptus and cypress trees blend in with the traditional style houses. We loved the walks around the forest... I could have spent the entire 10 days happily without leaving the estate at all. (more)Chris Kearney

Memorable parts? Swimming in the sea right outside our apartment, and waking up to the amazing view every morning. The roof terrace was lovely and it was so nice to chill out in the shade of the daybed even when it was hot. We also loved the Timanfaya guided volcano walk which we booked through our accommodation. Tips? Lanzarote is windy! It is also very dry and rocky, so pack sensible shoes and a hat which won't blow away. Take goggles to see the fish when swimming in the sea.... (more)Gemma Wilkins
