Casa Penelope

Casa Penelope has 3 en-suite twin/double bedrooms. The downstairs rooms, La Izquierda and La Derecha (named after La Santa's world famous surf-breaks) are both spacious with sofa and ceiling fan. Although they don't have cooking facilities we have provided a mini bar area with small fridge, kettle, crockery and cutlery everything you would need to prepair sandwiches etc. The en-suite bathrooms have large Canarian style walk-in showers. The upstairs en-suite terrace room is an airy but smaller double room with private terrace and breathtaking views. This room does not have the mini breakfast bar facilities of the two downstairs rooms and is in the main house. Breakfast is an optional extra taken inside the main house or on the patio. All towels are provided and bedlinen changed regularly during your stay. We also clean your rooms daily to ensure your comfort whilst visiting our beautiful Island of Lanzarote.

Notes on accommodation
This area of Lanzarote is particularly popular with active people and Casa Penelope has been built with their needs in mind. There is a large lock up garage for guests to store their bikes, surfboards, kites etc leaving your rooms clutter free and a space to rest in.

Outside
Guests have a private shared patio in our Canarian style garden. Hidden from the wind and catching all the sun, it's a great spot to plan your day's schedule or enjoy a glass of wine after a day's adventuring.
Guests staying upstairsinside the main house have a private roof terrace with incredible views of Lanzarote's volcanic countryside including the stunning Risco de Famara and the islands of the Chinijo Archipelago.
There's a BBQ that guests can use on request.

Coast/Beach
5 mins (3kms) drive is the fishing village of La Santa. A surfer's paradise with a small black sand beach near the harbour then behind Club La Santa 1km along the road is your next beach on from that
Caleta Caballo, has a wonderful year round bathing beach. Small but with safe high tide swimming for all the family, this is a local favourite.
Famara, about 10 mins from Casa Penelope, sits at the foot of a 700m cliff and is the island's most dramatic beach. Pure heaven!

Special interest holidays
Run by professional surfer Rob Small and his wife Julie.
Experienced surfers will be thrilled by the challenging world class reef waves of La Santa and further afield, while recreational surfers or even learners will find the 7kms of sands at Famara a joy to ride a few waves.
Surf safaris, classes, board rentals and even affordable custom boards (from French master shaper Jean Luis Le Guine of Fluid System approx €350 for a short board) are all available at Casa Penelope.
Kite surfers will also head for Famara where the majority of the beach allows kite surfing and offers fantastic freestyle and wave riding action. Other beaches can have good conditions when the trade winds change direction and some of the reef breaks have incredible wave riding potential for those with the ability and desire! Check out Kite surf (UK) March 2008 for a concise Kite surfer's guide to Lanzarote.
On the other hand if your a cyclist or runner your in the perfect spot.

Distances
Tinajo is an untouched Canarian Village that remains a world apart from tourist centres of the south coast. The locals are friendly and a 'buenas dias' or 'gracias' will bring you smiles. Don't miss the local produce market on Sunday mornings at the Dolores church at the inland end of town.
The fantastic volcanic landscape of the Montanas del Fuego are 10 mins drive as is the wine region of La Geria.
The old capital of Teguise and the current one, Arrecife, are both about 20 mins drive.

Further details
Tinajo provides a good range of services. There are plenty of local eateries, bars, coffee shops etc. Infact the first restaurant is only 5 minutes walk from Casa Penelope, an Italian! The centre of Tinajo has a bank, chemist, internet, gym and beauty salon and supermarkets and a newsagent where you can get international papers. There is also a 24 hour garage.
La Santa has more restaurants, international and Spanish and some interesting local bars as does Famara. Caleta Caballo has a vending machine!
