Accessibility
The property is not suitable for wheelchair use.
Outside
The kidney shaped swimming pool measures approximately 8x4m and slopes from 1 metre at the shallow end to 1.6 metres at the deepest point. It is situated in the tropical walled garden, offering an exceptional area for relaxing by the water, enjoying the palms and plants. The pool is fully heated - using a combination of solar mats and a heat pump system, able to maintain a constant 28 degrees C water temperature even in winter months.(Without a heating system in the winter months, believe me - you wouldnt want to swim, temperatures would naturally fall to about 18 degrees C - brrr!!).
Coast/Beach
Casa Margarita is a 5 minute drive from Famara Bay with its stunning white sand beach. Many surf schools operate from here. There are several small secluded beaches all within easy reach of the house. Tourist beaches can be found in the busy resorts of Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen (20 - 30 mins drive).
Golf
The nearest golf club is a superb and mature course at Costa Teguise. It is an 18-hole course located at the foot of an extinct volcano, with stunning views out over the Atlantic Ocean. It was designed by Briton, John Harris, and is a gentle yet highly varied course, running between volcanic rock, cacti and palm trees, so that you can enjoy the natural landscape in all its beauty. The course has numerous dog legs, ideal for attractive, enjoyable play. In addition to its privileged situation, the course also enjoys a wonderful climate, warm all year round. There is also another course currently under construction at Tias / Puerto del Carmen - both are around 20 - 30 mins drive away.
Travel
Arrecife airport is about 20 minutes away. Most visitors pre book their car via the internet and collect from the airport - although choice of a local company makes more sense than 'internet based' organisations in UK most of which have no local base on the island - only a representative. In case of breakdown etc local companies respond more readily. Car hire is essential.
Distances
The village of Soo is a five minute car drive from Caleta de Famara with its famous surfing beach, surf lessons can be booked in Caleta. La Santa, a small fishing village, is also a five minute drive. Here it is possible to buy fresh fish direct from the fisherman (usually found in his garage). La Santa also has a great surfing spot for the more advanced surfers. Both Tinajo and Teguise municipal centres have a range of shops, and banking facilities. They are a 10 minute drive from the house.
Further details
Restaurants and bars - There is a tapas bar in the village and there are many local restaurants within easy reach of Casa Margarita, good restaurants can be found in Caleta de Famara a five minute drive, the old capital of Teguise 10 minutes by car, in La Santa, a local fishing village, nearby Tiagua which boasts three good restaurants, a very popular restaurant highly regarded by locals at La Vuegeta - the list goes on. Ask us for tips.The village boasts four Tiendas (local, small supermarkets) which are well stocked for daily needs including fresh rolls from the village bakery and local produce (the goats cheese is a speciality). Several large supermarkets exist on the island at Arrecife and Playa Honda where anything you would expect from a supermarket can be obtained. Bars are most numerous in the mass tourist resorts although local bars and Bodegas are often worth the search. Chemists shops are numerous throughout the island.
Booking notes
Booking procedure for Casa Margarita is a £200 deposit paid at the time of booking (into our UK bank account) with the balance due 2 weeks before arrival. A full confirmation / receipt is provided on payment of your deposit and a final invoice sent in time for payment of the balance.
Guest comments
This has been the best holiday we have ever had. Casa Margarita is like a private "boutique hotel" but also a home from home. Jacky and John should be very very proud of what they have accomplished. We very much hope to return -often.
Stainsby Family, Notts. 1/11/2007
Just a quick note to let you know how much we have enjoyed staying at Casa Margarita. Everything was absolutely fantastic. You have such an impeccable taste and tenacity to bring such a major project to fruition!
Carelton and Lana, Norwich.
Casa Margarita is quite charming and beautifully renovated with great thought and attention to detail. The finishing touches truly make this a "boutique" casa. It is great for a family as everyone has their own space and quiet places. In conclusion we had a restful and very pleasant week - just the wind-down we all needed. Thanks Jacky, we'll be back.
