Casa Hoopoe comprises a 3 bedroom villa with a separate apartment below. To sleep up to 6 people you can just rent the villa; if you would like to sleep 8, then rent the apartment as well.( apartment never let separately) There is a spacious terrace with a covered eating/relaxing area where you can enjoy a splash free drink, whilst watching over family and friends using the pool on the terrace below. There is also a walled garden, that we are developing to attract wildlife. We're keen divers and wildlife watchers so have provided information on the fantastic diving possibilities around Lanzarote, and binoculars to check out the birds around the villa and the boats on the ocean! There are lovely sea views from the terrace and from the inside and outside dining areas and kitchen.

Owner profile
Penny and Nick, owners of Casa Hoopoe
About the owner
We live in Northumberland which is beautiful but can be a touch cold and dark in the winter so Casa Hoopoe is our antidote! We visit whenever we can. Nick is a keen diver and Penny loves snorkeling. The kids are just discovering both. We enjoy walking and wildlife watching and the surreal volcanic landscape of Lanzarote.
We appreciate the influence that Cesar Manrique has had on the island - limiting high rise buildings and billboards for example and we enjoy seeing his sculptures on many of the roundabouts.
Year purchased: 2008
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We chose Lanzarote as the nearest place to the UK for year round sun and great diving! We have had a house in Lanzarote for years and have been regular visitors but only purchased Casa Hoopoe last year to be more centrally located on the island and closer to good diving and snorkeling beaches.
We were delighted to find Casa Hoopoe in its peaceful village location. And the sea views are fantastic!
We named it after our favorite bird on the island that is sometimes seen from the villa. We are looking forward to being creative with the large garden area.
Unique benefits of the property
Another reason we chose Casa Hoopoe was for the large the pool. It occupies its own spacious terrace, So if you don't want to get splashed you can stay on the upper terrace where the villa is and gaze out to sea! Or watch out for hoopoes. The kids will happily spend most of the day in and around the pool.
There is a larger shaded seating on the terrace which is very conducive to relaxation when you have had enough sun, but still affords the same wonderful view of palm trees and the Atlantic Ocean.
We were also attracted to the spacious living room and good sized kitchen which is put to much use when the family are with us - it is extremely convenient being able to pass everything through the kitchen window to the outdoor dining area.
