El Sueno - The Dream - says it all really. A fabulous villa perched in a prominent position with panoramic sea views across to Fuerteventura one way and down onto the harbour of Puerto Del Carmen the other. The villa itself has everything you could need for a relaxing stay: 3 comfortable bedrooms, three good bathrooms - two ensuite and a master bathroom with the largest walk-in shower I have ever seen - a well fitted and equipped kitchen with dishwasher, a washing machine and a large and bright lounge which frankly we hardly needed as the outside terrace and pool were so seductive. Cooking on the BBQ while watching the boats come and go was bliss and there is a very spacious covered dining area to provide some welcome shade while we ate lunch. Well situated for a 10-12 minute walk into the bustling old town of PDC with its large variety of restaurants and bars and constantly friendly locals, its position is perfect. The walk back is of course uphill, a price to pay for the views, but it is not too steep and there are plenty of seats thoughtfully provided to catch your breath if you need to half way while you watch the world go by. The coastal path runs past the villa should you wish to stretch your legs on the 40 minute walk to the marina at Puerto Calero for lunch, which may be taxing for some as it undulates up and down, but there is also a convenient water taxi from the harbour should you feel lazy, either one-way or return. A well-stocked supermarket and some bars are just a 5 minute, reasonably flat walk from the door. The service provided by Sue at Lanzarote Leisure Villas is outstanding and the local management under the lovely Erika go the extra mile to make sure that your holiday is just perfect, so our heartfelt thanks to them. El Sueno really is a taste of what life should always be like! Villa el Sueno Sept 2013
