Casas del Sol is in a prime location in Playa Blanca. It is opposite a small harbour and close to beaches, shops and restaurants. Our villa is situated on this beautiful complex with landscaped gardens and a large heated salt water pool. It has its own large, private terrace and garden with a tranquil atmosphere in which to 'recharge your batteries'. The villa was refurbished in April 2008 and has a beautiful Spanish style, but a very modern feeling. There are custom made Egyptian cotton towels and dressing gowns to complete the luxury makeover. Because of its position it is not necessary to hire a car, because there are many restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. There is an internet room in the reception, however, so if you need to keep in touch you can do so for just 50 cents!

Coast/Beach
There are 3 sandy beaches within walking distance of Casas del Sol. Playa Flamingo and the pretty village beach are about 10 minutes walk away and Playa Dorada is 15 minutes walk. The beautiful, protected beaches of Papagayo are only a short drive. Two of the beaches have activities including pedalos and jet skis, etc. with shops and bars behind them. There is a wonderful coastal path to enjoy walks from the marina at Puerto Rubicon to the Faro Park area - one side of the town to the other.
Golf
There is an 18 hole course in Costa Teguise, about 40 minutes drive away. Clubs, trolleys and electric buggies are available to hire.
Travel
Arrecife airport is about 25 minutes drive away. (About 30 euros in a taxi). Car hire is not necessary as the villa is in the heart of Playa Blanca and only a couple of minutes walk from the village with its pedestrianised streets, shops, restaurants and beaches. We suggest hiring a car to see more of the island, as the roads are good and not too busy and there are wonderful sights to see all over Lanzarote.
Distances
A ferry goes regularly to Fuerteventura from the harbour opposite Casas del Sol, the journey takes about half an hour.
Playa Blanca is at the extreme south of the island and the north can be reached in about an hour by car. All the places of interest are therefore easily accessible for day trips. Timanfaya (20mins)is a volcanic National Park, Cactus Garden(40mins) Teguise market (Sunday) (30mins) Cesar Manrique (Famous local artist & patron) exhibits and architecture all over the island.
Further details
There are several supermarkets locally, as well as banks with ATM machines.
Playa Blanca has numerous good restaurants including Spanish, Indian, and Chinese providing wonderful fish, meat and vegetarian dishes.
There is a large array of shops providing perfume, jewellery and electronic equipment, all at duty free prices.
Playa Blanca has sports' bars and bars with live music and karaoke, but it is not really a "clubbers" resort.
Horse riding, camel rides and paintballing is all available in Yaiza, which is a 10 minute drive away. The horse riding is suitable for all, with 2 hour rides possible for experienced riders and beginners sessions available for children and adults. Camel rider certificates are given if you are brave enough to try it!
Diving is available in Playa Blanca, 5 minutes walk away. The diving can be arranged locally to suit experienced divers as well as those wanting to try something new.
Booking notes
We prefer direct bank payment, and ask for £100 per week deposit or full payment if booked within 8 weeks of travel. Balances are due 2 months before travel.
Guest comments
The best villa we have ever rented - and we have rented quite a few!! Michael Knowles - March 2008
We had a lovely holiday and couldn't find fault with the lovely villa, which you have obviously put a lot of effort into. We hope to return. Many thanks. Suzanne and Colin Vick November 2007
Dear Di and Brian, Just a few words to thank you for the use of your lovely bungalow at Casas del Sol. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and found the bungalow to be exactly as we had hoped. It had everything we needed and the quiet location was just what we wanted. We had the luxury of choosing whether to laze, walk, explore, swim, mooch or drive as the fancy took us. Once again, many thanks for a wonderful holiday. Bill and Kate Kirke - March 2006 & March 2007
Another great holiday, lovely weather and the villa is even better than it was last year. We’ll be back. Many thanks once again. Sue and Jim Simpson April 2007 & 2008
