About the home

In a prime location, Bella Vista has 3 double bedrooms with 2 bathrooms which will comfortably sleep 6.
The villa has a modern, contemporary feel with a fully fitted kitchen with Bosch appliances and a lounge area with flat screen HD TV and a SKY HD satellite system upgraded to receive BBC1/2, ITV, Channels 4/5 and Irish channels .
A DVD player and DVD library are also available but don't forget to bring your favourites; in the dining area there is a Hi-Fi system with ipod dock. The villa also has free wi-fi internet access.

From the terrace off the master bedroom the views to Fuerteventura are breathtaking and it is the perfect place for late afternoon drinks or a peaceful place to read a book.

Accessed from the lounge, the spacious patio with it's sofas, dining furniture and sun loungers have been designed to provide both sun and shade from dawn until dusk. Just sit and relax, dine alfresco or make the most of the sun. The recently astro turfed garden gives plenty more space for relaxing or for the little ones to play.

The villa is situated in a complex of 48 villas with a shared pool which is perfect for that refreshing swim or for sunbathing on the extensive terrace areas. Or if you prefer, just enjoy the privacy and tranquility of your own terraces and garden.

Bella Vista is located close to the 5* Hotel Volcan Lanzarote and a 5 minute walk from the exclusive Marina Rubicon with its many yachts and boats. Here you will find an excellent selection of bars, restaurants and boutiques. From here you can take the water taxi to the Old Town and the Papagayo beach reserve. A bowling alley, shopping centre and supermarket are set back behind the Marina. Other supermarkets can be found in the opposite direction towards Papagayo and also in the Old Town. On Wednesdays and Saturdays the Marina is bustling with the bi-weekly market.

The villa is a 20 minute stroll from the Playa Dorada beach, and a further 5 minute walk takes you to the town of Playa Blanca with its many bars, restaurants and shops where a typical Canarian welcome can be found.
All amenities are easily accessible on foot and without crossing busy roads.

Ferries run on a regular daily basis from the Old Harbour at Playa Blanca to Fuerteventura. Playa Blanca itself boasts one of the longest coastal paths in Europe running from the Papagayo beach reserve to the east to the El Faro (the lighthouse) on the western side. The path is situated approximately 40metres in front of the villa - a 1 minute walk away.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Bella Vista comprises of a master bedroom with king-size bed, en-suite and fantastic private terrace overlooking the sea. The other two bedrooms have twin single beds and both have a fabulous view of the pool and the mountains beyond. The downstairs bedroom with its adjacent shower room is particularly useful for the elderly or teenagers. The villa has all modern amenities and is fully equipped with both sitting and dining furniture.

Outside on the terrace there are rattan sofas, a large dining table and chairs, reclining chairs, sun loungers and BBQ. The private, gated south facing garden offers space for relaxing. Extra sun loungers can be found by the pool.

Please note that towels, beach towels and linen are provided and that the villa is cleaned and serviced prior to guests' arrival.

A high chair and travel cot can be provided at an extra cost of approximately £20 per week.

Further details outdoors:
The fantastic, private south facing garden and terrace are what we love about the villa! It allows sun and shade throughout the day with amazing views of Fuerteventura and beyond. The outdoor areas are perfect for al fresco dining, a BBQ is provided and it is the perfect place to spend the evenings watching the sun go down.

The shared pool is great if you want a dip or want to spend time with others, whereas the private garden and patio give you privacy and tranquility - the best of both worlds!

Further details

Long term lets are available. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

Please note that the villa is non smoking.

The Lanzarote region

Lanzarote is situated just 79 miles off the coast of Africa and enjoys a mild dry climate with day time temperatures averaging between 21 degrees celsius in January and 28 degrees celsius in August. Annual rain fall is just 140 mm (5.5 inches) which makes Lanzarote the perfect all year round destination.

There are many places of interest which are well worth a visit including both Arrecife (the islands capital) and the Timanfaya national park. Arrecife is the islands main seaport and shopping centre. Arrecife has a picturesque hub, which is concentrated around El Charco; the main seafront promenades and parks also boast an interesting historical heritage.

The Timanfaya national park is a 20 minute drive from the Villa and was declared a national park in 1974. The Montanas del Fuego (Fire mountains) were created during 1730 and 1736 when more than 100 volcanos rose up and devastated this part of the island. The last eruption was in 1824. The area is a 'must' for any visitor to the island because of its unique 'martian' landscape and its rare plant species. Whilst it is not possible to roam around the park freely a coach trip is included in the price of entry. The El Diablo Restaurant, designed by Cesar Manrique provides an impressive backdrop, the food is cooked using geothermal heat (grilled over a barbecue using the natural heat from the volcano). You can also take a camel ride across the parkland and the Spanish national parks authority have recently launched two free guided walks along routes in the park.

The Playa Blanca / Marina Rubicon area

Playa Blanca was once a small fishing village but has now been developed into Lanzarotes second most popular resort. Playa Blanca is a favourite with families and couples whereas those seeking an all-night party head for Puerto Del Carmen. The resort has a seafront promenade with many shops and restaurants. The resort is mainly low density comprising of bungalows and villas and a few large luxury hotels. The shopping area is pedestrianised and the taxi rank is located by this area with a taxi back to the villa costing only 3 euros.

A recent development in Playa Blanca is the exclusive Marina Rubicon with its many bars, restaurants and boutiques against a backdrop of boats and yachts. Here you can enjoy a leisurely drink at Vino Blanco or Cafe del Mar or dine at one of the many restaurants or tapas bars. There is something for everyone with Lanis and Little Italy being a favourite for families whereas both Casa Roja and Casa Brigida offer typical Canarian food.

Activities for children including a crazy golf course and bowling alley can also be found in this area with a pitch and putt course a further 5 minute walk at the Hotel Hesperia (Playa Dorada). 'Kikoland' is a children club and activity area next to the Playa Dorada beach, so If you want to lie in the sun and relax for a while leave the children here to be entertained. There is also a childrens play area in the 'Los Colorados' area near Ropers supermarket which is a pleasant 10 minute walk from the villa. A new water park opened in Summer 2012 and is situated near to the Hotel Timanfaya Palace.

There are many restaurants, bars and cafes in Playa Blanca and at the Marina Rubicon so all tastes and budgets are easily catered for. However, if you want to explore a little further afield and sample some real Canarian cuisine try visiting the small local villages such as Femes and Las Brenas.

There are several supermarkets in Playa Blanca and the surrounding area, with Hyperdino being a 5 minute walk in the direction of Papagayo from the villa.

Taxis are easily available and a regular bus service runs throughout the resort. Bike hire is also available from many of the car hire companies.

The Castillo de las Colorados is the most important historic building in Playa Blanca and can be seen from the villa. The tower is located just to the east of the Marina Rubicon and was built to defend the island from pirate attack.

The nearest beach is the Playa Dorada beach which is situated a 15-20 minute walk from the villa in front of the Princessa Yaiza hotel, both watersports and sunloungers are available here for a small cost. In the opposite direction you will find the beautiful unspoilt Papagayo beach reserve which can be accessed on car, via the water taxi or on foot.

A 15 minute drive takes you to Puerto Calero which is a must for the boat and yacht enthusiasts! Perfect for a leisurely lunch or the ideal place to book a fishing trip or a trip on the 'yellow submarine'.

“Fabulous” What a wonderful villa that was so tastefully decorated and so well maintained. It had all the facilities you could want for your holiday. It was cleaned on the second week with fresh linen and towels by the lovely Lisa who was extremely helpful. The rear garden faced the sea and was beautifully laid with a tiled patio and an artificial lawn bordered with shrubs. Plenty of garden tables and sun chairs and a place to shade when the sun was too hot.Whilst staying there we had a number of people enquire about the villa and how to rent it It was ideally situated for the Marina Rubicon which was a leisurely stroll along the promenade. We had a lovely time and have now booked again for next year. Many thanks Catherine, for allowing us to rent your villa and we would have no hesitation recommending it to our friends and family.

“Lovely villa in Playa Blanca” Just got back from a lovely visit to Playa Blanca and I am writing to say it was a pleasure to stay in such a lovely home, everything you needed for a wonderfull week away this villa had, from the very first e mail I sent to the owners to the day we had to go home was perfect,unfortunatly my mother in law took ill during our visit but in no way could this be retract from a wonderfull stay. It was so lovely to wake up and have a drink on the balcony while looking out over the ocean,and to relax in the lovely garden, and so close to the Marina where there are so many nice places to eat or sit in the sun with a glass of wine, all in all a lovely holiday home and one in which I would have no problem in returning .

“Lovely home with lovely weather” We stayed for 10 days and couldn't have asked for a better holiday - the house is a home from home, the pool was great and the views lovely. The kids loved the home, so friendly, relaxing and were able to use the wifi, as all kids do, to catch up with friends and family. The marina is only a few minutes walk, with town not far beyond....or a taxi with tired children. After a hard year at work, I was sat in the pool for 45 min on my own, no one there, no wind, no music, just the sound of the water with the sun nicely shining down. And then I had to prep the lunch....lovely time away.

“The prettiest villa with the best location” I travelled with my friend and our four teenage children..Everything was just right, the villa was beautifully equipped and decorated: The bedrooms were all perfectly comfortable and immaculately clean. There was, wonderful distribution of space both inside and out for our two families, making up six people. Everything was wonderfully clean, beautiful views over the sea and across to the Papagayo beaches which are a short walk away (partly uphill over rocks but very much worth it). The villa is located just next to the Puerto Marino not far from Playa Blanca, near shops and supermarkets and all amenities. A quiet setting which suited us, with charming neighbours who live on the island year round, I guess they wouldn't appreciate a noisy party, but very understanding of teenagers listening to a little music at reasonable volume while we had a couple of barbecues! Catherine (the owner) couldn't have been more helpful and obliging; even supplying clean sheets and towels (beach towels also provided) half way through our week and villa cleaned. We had an absolutely excellent holiday!

“Simply fantastic” We had a fabulous stay at the Villa Bella Vista. The villa was spacious, beautifully appointed with every convenience, a real home-from-home experience. The communal areas of the complex were very well maintained, including the pool which we thought was very clean. The location was great, it is located in the Marina Rubicon area, which has a more sophisticated feel, however, the busy bars and restaurants of Playa Blanca town were only a twenty minute stroll along a promenade. We would very much recommend the villa and hope to return in the future.

“immaculate, quiet but well placed villa near Marina” we travelled here with 3 children - 2 teenagers and 1 almost teenager. The villa had everything you need for a faulous holiday with top of the range appliances and lovely decor. The pool was very windy and cold (as are most Lanzarote pools) and therefore pretty deserted most day. However the large patio was sheltered and ideal for relaxing into the evening. Only a 10 minute stroll to the Marina and the same again to the beach. We personally prefer the old part of town but for anyone liking the modern Marina end this is ideal and Catherine the owner could not have been more helpful and accomodating.

“All pretty perfect really!” Lovely villa, beautifully presented. very comfortable beds, excellent showers and well equiped kitchen. The out door space is just lovely as are the stunning sea views.

Catherine and Richard are very helpful and go out of their way to make sure your stay is a happy one. Nothing is too much trouble. We will return!, and have already recommended this villa to friends and family.

“Sunny, great view, and all the amenities!” This is a terrific villa and excellent value. I would not hesitate to book again. The villa has stunning ocean views across to Fuerteventura, with a ground level deck and upper balcony that both get sun all day long. It is located very close to the Marina Rubicon are which has the best restaurants in Playa Blanca. It is on a lovely sea-front walking area which is great for strolling or jogging. There are grocery stores within 5 minute walk. The villa has very good beds and comfortably sleeps 6. It also has sun loungers, charcoal BBQ, TV/DVDs, games etc, - everything to make your visit fun. Catherine the owner was fantastic providing a lot of detailed information about the villa and how to arrange transfers etc. on Lanzarote. Do note that the communal pool is not heated and too cold to swim in during winter months. Also the villa is some distance to the nicer beaches if you are travelling with kids or the elderly.

“Excellent. Very roomy, classy villa. All mod cons and great location.” Perfect place for young families. Lovely, spacious villa. Nice outside space for kids to play. Great views of Fuerteventura. Good location for easy walks, with great views, going along the promenade west to the marina or east towards Playa Papagayo. Beach in the town is nice but the numerous more 'natural' beaches out on the Papagayo peninsula are outstanding so get a hire car to get out there (only a 10 minute drive down bumpy track). Very friendly helpful owner who provides loads of handy tips.

“Excellent” I stayed in the villa for a week with my boyfriend.... from the very start Catherine was extremely helpful with tips on the best place to get transfers from the airport, to information about the local area. The villa itself was perfect, very clean and with a fully equipped kitchen, which was great for those nights when we wanted to stay in and cook. I am usually very fussy about cleanliness etc but the place was spotless and the decor was to a very high standard. The views from the master bedroom were amazing and the location was very quiet and peaceful whilst being less than 10 mins walk from the bars and restaurants of the marina and around 20 mins walk into Playa Blanca. Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and wouldnt hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

“Great Location, Great Property And Service.” Bella Vista is ideally located, in an extremely quiet and small complex near Rubicon Marina which has numerous bars and restaurants catering for all tastes. Enjoying great views of Fuerteventura. We arrived when it was dark and the villa looked so inviting with lights on and patio set up. Kitchen is fully equipped and the BBQ was so good we are looking to buy one for back home. Catherine and Richard were very approachable and when we experienced a small problem with the TV it was sorted immediately with no impact on our wonderful holiday. The long coastal walk was great and although we hired a car it was not necessary as everything is within walking distance We will definitely be returning and we take some very happy memories of Lanzarote of which Bella Vista played a very large part.

“Perfect all round” After staying in Playa Blanca in a popular apartment complex in 2008 & 2009 we wanted to return but staying somewhere more independent and quieter. Villa Bella Vista couldn't have fitted our needs more if we had built it ourselves. As a family of four we had an abundance of space but even if we had taken other family members with us as in previous trips we still would have had more than enough space given the layout of the villa. The owners have put real thought and consideration into all aspects of the home from home accommodation from its high spec furnishings, quality electrical goods, Wi-Fi and SKY TV to smaller details such a DVD & book library and wooden coat hangers! Catherine and Richard provide all the information and support you could ask for and make the whole experience hassle free. You really couldn't ask for more with the ideal location overlooking the sea, the expansive patio and garden area, the very quiet and relaxing shared pool and still only a short stroll into Marina Rubicon. The worst part of this holiday was actually leaving it and I can only look forward to going back. In short: Perfect and in sync with Playa Blanca's laid back atmosphere that makes you want to return time after time.

“An amazing Villa in a perfect setting” Was absolutely fantastic, it came with everything you could think of. The location itself is perfect with lovely strolls along the esplanade into the main marina. My wife and i took another couple and their 4 year old with us, we were never bored and yet still found time to relax in the pool by the Villa. In the marina there is a beautiful Italian that serves the most delightful food - if you stay you must visit it. We went big game fishing one day - again it was great, the girls went shopping and found plenty to do while we were away. You can hire a car and go all over the island and see the sights or equally stay in the fully fitted villa and just relax in the all year round sun - we will be going back soon i hope. Thank you for the excellent villa, service and well prepared touches.
