About the home

If you are looking for a holiday in rural Lanzarote then Casa de Cabra is for you. It is a restored Canarian Finca with loads of character . The holiday cottage is attached to the main house and although completely self -contained we, Linda and Peter, are on hand for help, advice or to respond to something maybe we haven't thought of yet! This is the ideal romantic couples retreat. Completely peaceful and away from it all.

The Casita offers accommodation within a traditionally built house in beautiful surroundings. Life in the village of Maguez has hardly changed for many years and there is a typical Canarian shop approximately 200 metres from the cottage where you can try out your Spanish! Also, just a stroll away from the cottage is the local village bar which also serves food. While driving into and around the village it is not unusual to see the local farmers still working the land with a donkey or the local herdsman with his goats. In the surrounding towns and villages there is a really fabulous choice of places to eat including fish and ,of course, tapas restaurants. The nearest beach is at Arrieta only 5km away a with super beach bar/restaurant.

Whilst this is the ultimate Lanzarote rural retreat ,we are fortunate to be well placed to visit some of the most famous attractions on the island and only 20 minutes drive from the nearest resort where you will be spoilt for choice of bars, restaurants and clubs.

This is also an ideal base for a walking or cycling holiday. If you are energetic or want to be relaxed and laid back - Lanzarote has something for you!

Facilities

Further details indoors:
On the ground floor the cottage has a large living area, open plan to the well equipped kitchen including fridge and gas oven and 4 hobs. The areas are separated by a breakfast bar.

French doors lead out to its own patio area with table and 2 chairs and a barbeque overlooking a delightful garden.

From the patio - steps then lead up to a huge bedroom with a fitted wardrobe, a completely private sun terrace with stunning views, outdoor shower, a bathroom leading off the terrace with bath and shower over.

All linen is provided except for beach towels. We hope to welcome you to Maguez soon and will make sure your stay is comfortable and trouble free - just how your holiday should be.

The Lanzarote region

"Can you see with an artist’s eye what a Falcon sees flying high in the Lanzarote sky? A desolate landscape you may think below look again my friend, look long and slow, and then see the stark beauty residing there.

The land once covered by an ocean thrust up and shaped by the volcanoes' thunderous motion, setting it then into the light of day, Lanzarote was here to stay. The sun, moon, wind and rain enhanced its tortured landscape into the stark beauty we see today

Are you a budding Constable or Turner? Or even a Lee Miller? Looking for somewhere to relax and challenging to hone your skills? "

John Howard Davies

The Haria area

Nearby attractions include Cesar Manriques creations such as Jameos del Agua, Cactus Garden, Mirador del Rio and The Guinate Tropical Bird Park. The neighbouring village of Haria is only 5 minutes away where you can find bars, restaurants, an art gallery and a local craft market held every Saturday morning in the village square.

The coastal village of Arrieta is also only 10 minutes away which has a fabulous beach with beach bar and several restaurants and tapas bars. Slightly further north towards Orzola there are many white sandy beaches. The nearest Golf Course at Costa Teguise is only 15 minutes drive away.

Most people visit Lanzarote to enjoy the year round warm climate, it's unique landscape and to sample the Islands cultural centres, most of which have been influenced by the famous artist Cesar Manrique.

The island is 37 miles long and 20 miles wide and is a perfect destination for sun-lovers and those who love water sports such as surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, sailing, snorkelling and diving. Spectacular walking scenery and stunning mountain biking are on offer.

Beaches of all sorts can be found - including white, golden and volcanic black sand beaches - those that are suitable and safe for families, remote and wild for the surfer and even at Charco de Palo one ideal for naturists.

“Highly recommended - perfect Lanzarote, wonderful location, booked to return a fifth time to the sam” Casa de Cabra is located in a small village (inhabited by local people) in the north of Lanzarote, about five miles off the main road from Arricife to Orzola. It is a couple of minutes from Haria. The cottage itself is perfect, with all the facilities needed and the huge plus point of a totally private large roof terrace off the bedroom (which is spacious and comfy). The owners, Linda and Pete, who live next door are charming, welcoming and have a talent for giving complete privacy; but are also very friendly and great company over a barbecue or a few drinks. One of the absolute joys of the cottage is that you are away from all the pre-conceived notions of touristy Lanzarote. The view from the roof terrace is of cacti, palm trees, hills and the sea in the distance. You do need a car; but everything is so accessible, from the golden beach (and great beach bar / restaurant) in Arrieta (about 7 mins away) to the Cesar Manrique attractions (eg the Rio del Mirador - brilliant, the caves and the cactus garden). The fishing port at Orzola (20 ish mins away) has great restaurants and provides hours of entertainment watching the fishing boats and ferries in the harbour. Another good day out is taking the ferry from Orzola across to La Graciosa. In Maguez itself there is a local bar (very cheap as it is a Sociadad) and two smallish shops selling food, beer, wine and basics. Haria, a few minutes by car and easy walking distance, has a great locals Saturday Market and some nice restaurants (La Frontera has good food and great views). For a couple who want to get away from the hustle and bustle, feel part of local Lanzarote, and relax in wonderful surroundings - with places to go when you want a bit more action this is the perfect spot. Highly recommended.

“Our mountain retreat” Casa De Cabra Review. We have visited Casa De Cabra three times over a three year period usually towards the end of October. The property is very spacious for two people. It has a quaint old charm. The layout is a unusual one due to it being part of a old Finica. Downstairs is a spacious open plan living area with KITCHEN, good gas cooker, plenty of work surfaces fridge with only a small freezing compartment, a bigger freezer would be handy.. Plenty of pots & pans & crockery, toaster, but no microwave. LIVING AREA, two seater dining table, comfy large settee TV etc. A couple of table lamps give a pleasant ambience to the room at night. The living area opens up through the patio doors to the covered PATIO. This has a large solid table with 2 chairs, portable BBQ & overlooks the garden. UPPER FLOOR The large bedroom is accessed via a flight of stairs on the outside of the building. Another door in the bedroom, (which actually has a comfortable bed), leads to the totally private rooftop terrace, toilet & bathroom. There is a wooden canopy covering you as you walk to the WC so you don't get wet if it's raining in the night! The upper terrace overlooks the lush garden, village & valley beyond towards the cave houses on the next mountain. Take your binoculars. To the left you can see the sea in the distance and to the right the extinct volcanoes. It is the ideal place to sunbathe & has two sun beds with comfortable covers & a couple of wicker chairs & table, which are very handy. In Oct sun is on the terrace from about 10.30am to turned 6pm. WHAT TO DO? Well we spend most of the day sunbathing upstairs really only venturing down for food & drink unless we are going out. When the sun goes down we eat outside downstairs watching the little Gecko that always takes up position above the outside light. With wifi access downstairs taking your laptop Ipad or android phone is a good idea as there is only basic news channels available on the TV and no DVD or radio but there are quite a few paperback books & a good and informative read is to be had in the info book. If night life is your thing there is nothing apart from the local Sociadad (which is a experience!) but Costa Teguise is only 20 min by car. OUT & ABOUT. If you are a keen walker you have come to the right place but most people will really need a car. You are high up in the mountains & the 7 min drive down the big hill to Arrieta makes your ears pop so walking down is not a option. However we have walked to the fantastic viewpoint overlooking Faramra and the Isle of La Graciosa exploring the volcano caledra on the way. About 4 miles round trip through total silence. Or go 2 miles in the car or by bike to the viewpoint past Guinate tropical park for a sunning view of the sun setting in the sea from aeroplane heights. Bikes are available which really make getting around & exploring a lot easier than walking. There is a bus service but I can not comment as always have a car. The Naturist village of Charco Del Palo is less than 20 minuets drive away and perfectly compliments Casa De Cabera if you like getting a all over tan. There is a small local shop, a larger one at Arrieta & one in Harria the next village but you are best taking the 25 miniute drive to the Eurospar at Costa Teguise for your 'big shop' as it is cheaper & has more choice. The owners Linda & Peter are very nice couple, friendly & helpful. Casa De Cabera is far removed from your typical holiday apartment both in location & style. People who enjoy nightlife & lots going on would probably feel isolated & totally bored but if you like to chill out in peace & quiet in a unique setting it's ideal. I hope my review helps you decide if it's for you or not. We love it there! AJ & L Reid. Manchester UK

“Peaceful, friendly owners, near the beach, what more could you want?” We enjoyed ten peaceful days in Casa De Cabra and will definitely be recommending it to our friends. The apartment was spacious and clean with a well-equipped kitchen, which was a joy to cook in. We... more

“a very nice place to stay, with a beautiful garden in a small countryside village.” The house, kitchen, upstairs bedroom, bathroom, garden and verandah all looked good, were well maintained and was big enough for two adults. We specially loved the quietness of the place, the garden, the village and loved the fact that the owners had two mountain bikes so that we could make trips through the countryside and to the sea. Response: Thank you for taking the time and trouble to write a review - glad you like it. Kind regards Linda and Peter

“Lovely way to experience Lanzarote in pleasant "cottage"” The cottage is attached to the house that the friendly owners live in. It has its own entrance through a lovely garden with a volcanic landscape and flowering cacti and palms. There is off-road car-parking. The village is very quiet (maybe except for some barking dogs) and very typically Spanish - nothing like the costas! A local store provides essentials for self-catering but really the bigger supermarket in Arecife is necessary for a big shop. Getting around was easy. The owners had local car-hire contacts at 13 Euros a day for a Fiat Panda. You need a hire car though, as the village is off the beaten track. We were met at the airport and returned the car there without fuss - great! Driving is easy and you can visit all the attractions without having to use rip-off tour companies. Trip highlights were a walk inside a volcano (cost zilch), the beautiful deserted beaches on the north-east of the island, and a boat trip to the road-free island of La Graciosa, as well as experiencing good pure-Spanish eateries in nearby Arrieta. The cottage itself is fine for two people, with a lovely bedroom upstairs attached to a sunny balcony and off that a bathroom. Downstairs is a lounge/kitchen with a patio area. The facilities are adequately good, but not new or flashy - a good basic standard with all the things you would need. There is a computer with free internet access, which was useful for the odd email and listening to Radio4! It will be great when you can get the iPlayer from Spain! There was a TV and DVD player, but we did not use them. Eat on the patio area overlooking the garden - though beware of the lizards that forage around for scraps as they can be a bit stupid - one nibbled my big toe! The English owners are very pleasant and helpful people indeed, and though they leave you to enjoy your holiday, they are on hand should you need help and advice. We enjoyed them having a drink with us one evening. The cottage is secluded enough for going "au naturelle", and the balcony is a sun-trap for those who want to get an all-over tan. Accomodation is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties or young children due to steep external stairs to bedroom. Overall a wonderful and inexpensive experience of the "real" Lanzarote. We will definitely be back again - it was marvellous. Response: Thanks for taking the time and trouble to write a review - appeciated - glad you like it. Kind regards Linda and Peter

“House for 2 In a traditional village” We had a very relaxing stay at the Casa de Cabra in Jan 2011. The village location was perfect as we were able to walk to a local bar for tapas and shops if we needed supplies. The owners, who lived next door, were very helpful and friendly when we needed them to be . We would recommend this house to anyone looking for a peaceful, rural retreat in Lanzarote. Response: Thank you for taking the time and trouble to write a review - we are glad you liked it. Kind regards Linda and Peter
