Accommodation description
Villa 185 is easily reached in 20 minutes from the airport by car. The villa is situated in a beautiful setting in the heart of Yaiza which is one of the main attractions in Lanzarote as it has won many awards in Spain for the most attractive and well kept village in Spain. There are many local amenities such as restaurants, tapas bars, bank and supermarket. The villa is set in its own tranquil grounds with spectacular views looking out onto Timanfaya National Park.
This lovely villa is nestled in the heart of the village and is also situated in the middle of two of the most popular resorts in Lanzarote, 15 minutes drive to Playa Blanca and the same to Puerto Del Carmen so by day time you have the tranquility of a peaceful setting but by night you can either stroll locally for a bite to eat or head out to the other Resorts for a night out.
The large private driveway leads you to the main entrance of the villa. Once in the property grounds there are beautiful mature gardens planted with tropical plants. You have the benefit of 2 BBQs depending on where in the grounds you wish to entertain. On the patio for the sporty ones amongst the family you will find a table tennis table.
The major benefit of this villa is obviously the large 10 x 5m pool surrounded by large terraces with comfy sun loungers for relaxing.
From the entrance hall with comfy chill out seating area you will find the large kitchen/dining room with patio doors leading to a sun terrace. From here you can view the childrens play park which is just across the way so you can safely watch the children without leaving your seat!
The comfortable lounge has a 42 inch plasma TV with full sky package/video and DVD player. There is also a games/ reading room with TV/PS 2 and table football.
Down the hallway you will find the master suite with kingsize bed and ensuite bathroom and patio doors leading to the pool area. The 2nd bedroom has a double bed with patio doors leading to the pool also as does the 3rd double bedroom with fantastic mountain views. There is also a second large family bathroom.
The villa offers a high quality of accommodation in a private and individual setting, ideal for both families and couples.

About Yaiza/Uga, Lanzarote
Two enchanting villages within 2km of each other, and steeped in local tradition and culture. Both are more reminiscent more of North Africa than Spain, both for its architecture, brilliantly whitewashed houses and the surrounding vegetation.
Uga in particular is famous for its fresh salmon. Yaiza is the principal village in the south of Lanzarote, and as such is responsible for the maintenance of the general area including Playa Blanca and El Golfo, and Timanfaya National Park.
While in the village a visit to the 18th century church, whose tower rises over the main square is a must. Art lovers should go to the Galleria Yaiza which exhibits local paintings and ceramics, most of which are for sale. La Era restaurant is a 300 year-old farm, which has been beautifully transformed. The food is Canarian; the wine is made on the farm itself. El Campo restaurant down the road is a locals favourite, and has beautiful volcanic gardens, built into the volcano opposite.

“Villa 185 is not a luxury villa by any means although it is advertised as such.
The kitchen is very old and dark; doors were nearly falling off hinges and it was not very clean. We only had 4 dinner plates (5 of us so what happens if it is fully occupied by the 8 people it can sleep?), the rest were small breakfast plates or side plates, no glasses matched they were all odds and sods, not even a decent set of wine glasses. The floor tiles were not finished off in the kitchen there was a strip of cement down the centre of the floor. The sofas in the lounge were dirty and it is very cold with no means of heating (we were there for New Year and the evenings are quite cold). (We did get a small oiled fired portable radiator and an electric portable fire but all the bars didn’t work so it was completely useless)
We didn’t have enough towels for 5 of us and when asked for two more we were given hand towels not bath towels. The pool was very cold and we asked for the heating to be put on for longer to warm it up but I don’t think this happened as the temperature didn’t improve.
The loungers outside were very dirty, the cushions hadn’t been cleaned for some considerable time. The lights went out a few times and no torch could be found, the play station didn’t work and as the photos indicate no ping pong table outside. There is a nice built in BBQ which we used one night but as the outside light doesn’t work we couldn’t see what we were doing so didn’t use it again.
These all seem small things but when you pay a good price for a “luxury villa” you expect it to be in a reasonable state. On the positive side the outside space by the pool is lovely, a real sun trap and nicely laid out, the village of Yaiza is beautiful and we would certainly stay in this area again. We booked through Lanzluxuryvillas and Jennie and her team are great, very professional and helpful, couldn’t fault the service at all and would certainly book through them again.
This is our 9th visit at Christmas or New Year and I can honestly say the villa was not to the standard we have had before, it really needs some TLC and I hope that this is done soon otherwise what could be a stunning villa will gradually run to ruin.”
