This beautiful apartment is ideally situated in the picturesque village of Tias. It is a great place to stay for those who wish to be out of the noisy and busy main resort of Puerto del Carmen but still want to have it easily accessible. The apartment benefits from all modern utility. The apartment is located just below the owner house on the ground floor with a private parking . The apartment have a private terrace (19 m2), with barbecue, table, chairs etc. The apartment has been totally refurbish in summer 2013. The newly built Tias golf course is only a 5 minute drive and the puerto del carmen beach at only 10 min drive.
My family and I live in Lanzarote since the year 1995. I am originally from Paris and I met my German wife in Lanzarote in 1998. During all this years we had 2 lovely kids: Emily (12 years) and Nils (10 years). We originally moved to Lanzarote because of its climate: The Island enjoys an average temperature of 22ºC all year-round and it is sunny almost 360 days a year. It is also a very safe place for children and mature persons.
frederic galant purchased this apartment in 2012
After living in Puerto Del Carmen (too busy and noisy), Playa Honda (too close to the airport), Costa Teguise (too windy), we finally bought the villa of our dream with an apartment in the quiet and peaceful town of Tías. The apartment is located just below our house on the ground floor with a private terrace (19 m2) and also a private entrance. Beginning of 2018 we decided to move (very close to the villa) and started to rent the villa for holiday makers. The apartment advertise here used to be rent with access to the swimming pool but now we decided to let the use of the swimming pool uniquely for the villa. If you want to use the pool you can rent the villa above the apartment directly folowing this link : https://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/accommodation/p8528114
Tias is a little village ideally located in the country side. You will feel the atmosphere of a village with all its little shops, one of the best supermarket (quality and price), friendly people and even sometime you will be awake by the crowing of the neighbour cock! You can even buy some fresh organic eggs from a nice old women living in opposite of our street (5€ for a box of 30 eggs).
You can enjoy the huge private terrace of 19 m2 for lunch or taking the sun. The Apartment is ideally located to be close enough of all tourist attraction. Just 5 /10 min walking from the apartment you have access to the best values bars and restaurant from all Lanzarote.
Of course, do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to give advises, make recommendations or assist you, in case there is a need.
Dear Freddy and Marion,
Roland and I want to say a huge big thank you for helping to make our holiday in Lanzarote such a great experience. We enjoyed staying at your lovely apartment which was quiet, as you promised.
You were so helpful and kind and Roland really enjoyed talking to you. I am sure however, you will be able to get a lot more work done now that we are home!!!!!
We arrived back in the Isle of Man to storms and very windy weather and we both wanted to turn around and come back to the warm sunshine!
We will definitely be visiting Lanzarote again!!!
Kindest regards,
Elizabeth and Roland
We enjoyed our stay here although the weather was wet and windy. We explored a lot of the island in our hire car but it was a pleasure to come back here in the evening. We ate out at lunch time and prepared a simple meal in the apartment in the evening watching one of the videos.
Superb holiday. Freddie was a charming host and actually offered us the use of his main villa instead of the apartment, which was fantastic. The pool area is large, clean and sunny - very private and relaxing. Ample parking, *very* accessible from the airport - maybe 10 minutes once you know where you're going! Ideal location for exploring the whole of Lanzarote. 15 min walk into Tias - a couple of superb places to eat there. Absolutely loved it :-)
Would recommend this apartment to anyone who like us loves a peaceful environment.Lovely area to stay in and couldn't fault the accommodation. Freddy is the perfect host,friendly ,helpful (especially when you have a broken ankle) not intrusive but always on hand for anything you need. We cannot wait to return to explore the area more.
Thank you for everything Freddy xx
Was like home to home so well stocked even had sealed tooth brushes razors you name it Freddie had it. Lovely lovely guy nothing was to much trouble even though we didn't need to ask as Freddie had supplied everything.
Freddy's place was really great, in a beautiful and quiet area, but close to everything. The apartment had everything we needed. Tias is good place to stay, especially if you plan on visiting the whole island. We're already looking forward to coming back to Lanzarote one day. Thanks for everything, Freddy!
Outdoor pool and bathing area was the most peaceful and private we have ever rented. The furniture was plenty and in good condition, Freddy and family live above the rental but were discrete to our privacy and available if we required. Outside the apartment we had a table and chairs for 4 along with a sunshade. A barbecue was also installed. A utility cupboard held all cleaning utensils including washing machine detergents but it is lockable too.Good WiFi was included in price too.
Inside there is another 4 seat table and chairs and a 2 seat sofa. The kitchen had everything that you need including washing machine.
The bathroom is small but the shower is larger than normal with good pressure. The bedroom would be better with 2 singles rather than small double bed, I think it would offer more space. The wardrobe is outside the bedroom door and contains plenty of hanging area along with iron, board, hairy dryer safe etc.
The apartment is outside the town of Tias. It is twenty minutes walk to Tia and all bars restaurants and the local Hyperdino shop. Taxi rank is outside the supermarket. Taxi was just over 3$. Taxi service when phoning them was excellent too.. taxi to PDC was about 12 euros but the bus service number 134, is 1.20euro.
Loved the peace and waking each morning to view a part volcano.
Coast/Beach:
You are at 10 min drive from the apartment of “playa chica” one of the nicest beach of Puerto del Carmen (old town). During the morning you will meet a lot of diving school because of the qualities of the water and the variety of the sea life on this small beach.

The village of Tias is 10/15 min walk from the apartment, where you will find everything you need (doctor, banks, chemist, hairdresser), there is a supermarket (quite big, with qualities product and good prices) and a lot a small shops at resident prices. You will find also a few different restaurants for all tastes and some bars very far from the prices (lower) and qualities (better) that you will find in the tourist area like Puerto Del Carmen ! The best bakeries of Lanzarote are in Tias!
Further Details:
Car hire is not essential (I do mostly everything with my bike) but recommended if you want to visit or reach the beach.Tias is a small village but you will find more than 15 bars/restaurants for all taste and the best quality for the price!!!
