WHAT A GREAT PLACE !!! It has been our third stay at La Cancela Verde Villa. Despite of already many comforts at the villa, every year it gets even more modernized / e.g. this year the owner added a great shower outside, adjacent to the main bedroom /. The villa is very clean, spacious, colourful and in a quiet neighbourhood. Everyone and in every age can find the right place and something suitable to do during those holidays. From the very first email or phone contact with the owner Julia and Christopher, it was always impeccable, professional, quick, kind, but also right to the point. Susana, the manager, is the local person, taking very good care of the villa. She is very helpful, extremely pleasant and easy to communicate with. She always answers the phone and gives good advice or idea on every topic associated with the villa or the island. In case if she is needed at the villa, shows up right away. Thanks to Susana, the tourist at La Cancela Verde feels very secure and comfortable. I sincerely recommend this unusually welcoming and spacious possession, with beautiful views at the sea, mountains, gardens. Also a heated swimming pool and a lot of privacy. We have already reserved the time for our fourth stay at the villa, which speaks for itself : we are amazingly happy there !

Just returned from Lanzarote with my family (6 of us) & can't praise this villa enough.. If you want a immaculately clean, very spacious & comfortable villa with a traditional feel, great location, amazing views, huge private pool then this is perfect.. & to top it all you get Susana the manager who is just wonderful, helpful, caring & all round lovely person.. The owner Julia was also great & lovely to speak to and made booking really easy.. I am very fussy about a lot of things but I can't fault La Cancella Verde.. I would recommend this to anyone.. Thank you to Julia for allowing us to rent this beautiful home & to Susana for everything..xx

What a spectacular villa,we cannot recommend it enough.The pictures do not do it justice. The view of the mountains,ocean and Fuertoventura are breathtaking,from the minute you wake and look out of the bedroom window,to the glorious sunsets and we were lucky enough to witness the Sturgeon Moon from the little patio area just off the master bedroom,a perfect place for a nightcap at the end of the day.There are too many places and views within the villa to pick a favourite,you will just have to visit and choose your own. A very special thank you to Susana and Julia for making us feel so welcome,they could not have done more to ensure we had a fantastic holiday. Taxis pass between Carmen and Calero regularly for those who dont fancy the walk ,with shops within walking distance.We recommend the little butcher shop (Lanzarotemeat) beside the Spar (5 mins walk away). The outdoor shower while gazing at the sun and stars was a particular highlight. We have been to the Canary islands before but this was our first visit to Lanzarote and will surely not be our last.Carmen offers nightlife for all tastes,though we found it hard to stay away from the villa for too long. We look forward to returning before too long.

Wir waren zu zwei für 14 Tage in der wundervollen Villa im spanischen Hazienda Stil und haben uns sehr gut erholt und wohlgefühlt. Alles ist mit sehr viel Liebe im Detail eingerichtet. Großzügige Schlafzimmer und Wohnräume alles mit Bodenfliesen. Große Kleiderschränke mit Kleiderbügeln und Schubladen. Eine große Küche mit allem was man braucht: Gasherd, Backofen, Mikrowelle, großer Kühl-Gefrierschrank, Toaster, Kaffeemaschine, Spülmaschine usw. Im Nebenraum befindet sich eine Waschmaschine und Trockenmöglichkeit für die Wäsche auf Seilen. Es gibt einen sehr großen Außengrillplatz und noch einen Innengrill-Raum den man vom wundervollen Esszimmeraus betritt. Im Haus gibt es TV, Skybox und WLan kostenlos. DVD und Bücher gibt es im Wohnzimmer. Es gibt eine separate Gästetoilette, ein Bad mit Badewanne, ein Bad mit Dusche, eine Außendusche. Es befindet sich ein Safe für Wertsachen im Haus. Die Fenster haben Schnakengitter und unterschiedliche Öffnungsmöglichkeiten. Ein Mietwagen ist sinnvoll um die Umgebung zu erkunden, man kann ihn auf dem Grundstück überdacht abstellen, somit wird er auch nicht zu heiß im Sommer. Man fährt direkt vom Kreisverkehr auf einem Kieseinfahrt durch das grüne Grundstückstor. Die Hausmanagerin Susana ist ein wahrer Juwel und sehr liebenswert. Zur Begrüßung hat uns Susana Tee, Toast usw. hingestellt dass wir für das erste was haben, da wir sonntags angekommen sind. Susana hat uns alles gezeigt und ist eine jederzeit über Handy erreichbare Ansprechpartnerin bei Fragen und Sorgen und kommt schnell zur Villa wenn man es wünscht. Susana spricht Englisch und Spanisch und ist gerade dabei einige Worte Deutsch zu lernen. Das Haus ist super sauber. Es wird wöchentlich gereinigt, die Bettwäsche und ausreichende Handtücher ebenso wöchentlich gewechselt. Ein Gärtner kümmert sich um die wundervolle Terrasse und Pflanzen. Es gibt mehrere überdachte Terrassen zum Schutz vor der Sonne. Ebenso gibt es auch viele windgeschützte Sitzmöglichkeiten. Man hat einen herrlichen Meerblick von der Terrasse aus fast 180°. Es gibt 6 Sonnenliegen im Garten und mehrere Tische und Stühle zum Sitzen. Der Pool wird ebenso regelmäßig gereinigt. Der Pool ist nicht beheizt sondern mit einer Abdeckplane professionell abgedeckt, so dass die Sonne die Wassertemperatur anwärmt. Das Abdecken des Pools ist problemlos alleine oder zu zweit möglich in dem man die Abdeckplane rauszieht und aufrollt. Es gibt auch einen kleinen Kinderplanschpool. Durch die Größe des Grundstücks und

Thouroughly enjoyed our stay at Cancela Verde, delightful property. Plenty of room for everybody, each room with its own private terrace. Our guests loved the villa, it's views and facilities and are looking forward to returning. They appreciated why we are frequent visitors to the villa and were impressed with Lanzarote, being their first visit. Broadband was a bonus enabling us to keep in touch with our worldwide family and share the lovely facilities and views. Enjoyed showering under the sun and stars!!! The villa was spotless, everything we needed was provided. Susana was gem very helpful and made sure the villa matched our expectations. The daily dip in the pool was very refreshing after a day in the hot sun. A quiet oasis close to the main attractions and the wider places of interest in Lanzarote. We cannot wait to return. Thanks Julia

We stayed in this villa over Easter 2016. Excellent facilities, plenty of room, clean and well maintained. The villa is very large and there were plenty of different areas to sit during the day to get the most of the sun. Loved the new outdoor shower area, it was a great addition to the villa. The location was ideal, not too close to the town centre but within walking distance and because of this the views from the villa were amazing. We really enjoyed out stay at this villa and as a result we are returning next Easter.

Our stay in Lanzarote was very nice and pleasant. The house is located well, not too far from the sea, a supermarket nearby. The property is partioned broad, the rooms are furnished lovingly. There are many places, where you can enjoy the beautiful garden, pool and the breathtaking view. Althogehter we enjoyed our trip to Lanzarote and the house makes you miss nothing. We´ll come back!

The villa was absolutely wonderful.So spacious,clean and well maintained. Suzana was there on our arrival to help us settle in and show us where everything was,she was so sweet and kind ,a pleasure to be in her company. The views from the villa where spectacular especially at sunset,as was the new outside shower.You could look at the sea when you were having your morning shower,amazing!! There was a restaurant less than 5 minutes from the villa that did the most wonderful steaks,try the t bone,you won't be disappointed! To sum up this villa was one of the best we have stayed in and we have stayed in quite a few. Lanzarote is a fasinating island to explore with plenty of activities for all ages,even a trip on a submarine.Excellent location of the villa made it very easy to see everything we wanted to. Perfect.

A fabulous villa with endless rooms and lovely gardens. Just two of us but would be perfect for more than one couple, group of friends or extended family as 3 separate bedroom areas with terraces. The pool was lovely. The villa is well looked after and has everything you'd need and more. We have visited Pt Del Carmen a few times and love what it offers. This villa is a 10 min walk to the beautiful harbour with its restaurants and slightly longer to the long promenade of restaurants and shops on the sea front. The villa is situated at the top of the resort so bear in mind if walking, it's up hill on the way back! Definitely worth it.

La Cancela Verde is a really lovely, big villa, with a stunning garden and views of the sea. We had a car rental booked for our stay in Lanzerote but both realized as we were on the airplane that we had forgotten our drivers licences. We were quite worried about how our week was going to play out, but on our arrival at the villa, Susana met us and kindly explained how close the villa is to the town of Porto del Carmen, and suggested a few agencies in the town who sell tickets for bus excursions. The villa is indeed well within walking distance of supermarkets ( we liked supermarket Dino!) ,a pharmacy, agencies for bus tours, bars and restaurants. It is about a 6-7 minute walk to the shops, although it might not be a suitable trip if you have a wheelchair, pram or stroller, as there are about 100 yards right at the beginning of the walk without a pavement. We found the walk absolutely fine -we got quite fond of our little jaunts into town!- but perhaps not ideal for you if you have very small children or for much older people. We really liked the older section of Porto del Carmen but there is also a great shopping area in the new section of town with terrific shops like Zara, Oysho, and Levi's. We did a bus tour of the Northern part of Lanzerote which we enjoyed immensely. Well worth doing, it gave us a really good feeling for the geography of the island and we saw some amazing sights. I particularly recommend seeing Jameos del Aqua when you visit Lanzerote. But again, a beautiful and comfortable villa and gorgeous garden and views!

Deze villa heeft zeker bijgedragen aan onze mooie vakantie. Het was een aantal dagen boven de 40c en dan plan je niet zoveel uitstapjes en zijn we veel bij het huis gebleven, en deze is werkelijk fantastisch. De kinderen hebben genoten van het zeer grote (verwarmde) zwembad en rondom een zwembad zijn er genoeg plekjes waar je afwisselend in de zon of schaduw kunt zitten. Perfecte ligging ook, je bent zo bij de 2 supermarkten en vlakbij de restaurantjes. Het huis zelf bleef lekker koel en heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Ook de organisatie er omheen is vlekkeloos. Zowel met de eigenaresse van te voren via mail, maar ook ter plaatse met de vaste contactpersoon die ons al zwaaiend langs de kant van de weg stond op te wachten. Ook meer dan genoeg (strand) handdoeken aanwezig. Ik raad iedereen aan dit huis te boeken wanneer je op Lanzarote verblijft!!!

Fantastic villa,{4adults,1and3years old kids} very comfortable and spacious, beautiful garden, great swimming pool with stunning view.Lot of terrasses,You can enjoy the sun all day,fantastic BBQ! Susanna a very helpful and joyful person. We spent two unforgettable weeks at this lovely island , had fantastic weather, made great walks,enjoyed wonderful restaurants,we had a realy 5 star holiday!

This is a wonderful villa to spend a family holiday. Spacious and comfortable , a fantastic view and pool and lovely garden with several terraces for every angle of the sun. And great BBQ's inside and outside ! We spend two unforgettable weeks in this beautiful villa. We had fantastic weather. Suzanna was very helpful and a wonderful joyful person.

The villa and its beautiful gardens and wonderful views just kept on impressing us all week. Its an easy 1km walk to a lovely coastal pathway and well away from the madding crowds yet near enough to pop out for necessities.

We stayed with a group of friends in the villa and had a great holliday. The description was accurate, is was even more beautiful than the pictures promised. The rooms were big, the kitchen nice and with enough plates, cups glasses etc. Even toiletpaper, olive oil, coffee and tea was present. We found a bottle of Cava as a welcome present. We didn't have very good weather, so spend little time in the garden and at the pool. One night we tried the indoor bbq. Not a good idea, there was a lot of smoke in the room. But Julia promised to fix it, so the people after us will not have that problem. Eveything was very clean and well maintained. We had diner at the nearby restaurant El Toro several times and that was also very good.

Ondanks de foto's en tekst van deze site veelbelovend waren overtrof de villa al onze verwachtingen. Alles is ruimer dan de foto's doen verwachten. We verbleven in de villa met 6 volwassenen en 1 kind van anderhalf jaar oud. De villa voelt knus aan en toch heeft iedereen genoeg privé ruimte. We hebben volop genoten van het terras met de dinertafel met het prachtige uitzicht en natuurlijk van het zwembad. Ook de BBQ hoek in de prachtige bloementuin is zeker de moeite waard om te gebruiken. In de villa is helaas geen WIFI aanwezig. Dit is wel een verbeterpuntje. De ligging van de villa is zeer fraai. De villa ligt op de rand van het dorp Puerto del Carmen en biedt daarom erg veel privé. Het strand, de haven en de restaurantjes zijn op ongeveer 15 minuten loopafstand. Dit is bergafwaarts wel te doen maar terug omhoog erg pittig. Een taxi voor nog geen 3 euro per rit is een beter idee. Op 5 minuten afstand (auto) ligt een nieuwe, grote, Spar supermarkt. Het eiland, Timanfaya NP en het dorp Playa Blanca zijn de moeite waard om te bezoeken. Daarom is het huren van een auto aan te raden. Tot slot is aanspreekpunt Susanna een super lieve vrouw die als je haar belt binnen 5 minuten voor de deur staat om je probleem op te lossen. Kortom, wij hebben een fantastische vakantie gehad waarbij de 2 weken zijn omgevlogen.

The second time I've been there with friends. And again, just like last year it was clean, luxurious, safe and quiet. Great e-mail contact with the owners Julia & Christopher. As always helpful anytime Georgina and Simon - always answered the phone and gave advice, or coming to the villia. Great, heated and covered up for the night a large swimming pool, beautiful garden, plenty of space for adults and children. Car needed, but you can go on foot to the charming nearby town Puerto del Carmen. For sure I'll visit the Volcanic Island and friendly house "La Cancela Verde" again. Michal with friends

We spent 11 nights at the villa and were very impressed. The villa is large and a great feature is that each bedroom has its own patio area so you can find a sunny spot at any time of day. The villa was clean and as described. Outdoor bbq in particular was fab as had its own dining area. The gardens are full of flowers and is an indoor garden as well. Pool was warm and a good size. villa was decorated to a high standard and all the rooms were a good size including all the ensuites. You can walk into town or to the beach quite easily although is a steep hill back. Was ok for us with teenage kids. view from the pool area is outstanding. Is a supermarket just 5 mins by car or a smaller one you can walk to down the hill. Only downside was no free wifi but are many options near by in bars and restaurants. Our favourite local restaurant was Mario's - italian with extensive menu, again is a walk down the hill but well worth it! We tried El toro which is right by the villa, this is more upmarket and food was mixed, some very good some ok. Would definitely recommend this villa, and we would book again if we get the chance to go back to Lanzarote.
