We knew from experience that it is difficult to capture every detail of a property in 2 dimensional images but when we arrived at Casa Gegore we had a lovely surprise; it is so much nicer than we expected from the pictures. We found that the pool was easily the largest that we have enjoyed in Lanzarote, one in which it is possible to swim properly from one end to the other rather than just take a cooling dip. The inside of the property is comfortably furnished, although apart from sleeping and washing we spent precious little time inside. That was mainly because there is a very large covered area overlooking the pool, but which is securely gated off to ensure safety for toddlers should they be staying with you, which is accessed directly from the lounge. The table would easily seat several adults in comfort for meals and the chairs offer a relaxing seat for those preferring some respite from the Sun even when not eating. There is a sofa for the afternoon siesta in the shade as well. The built-in barbeque is in the corner of this area meaning that a sudden shower doesn't curtail cooking! The area is also very sheltered from any winds that can spring up on the island. We spent most of our time in this area, although there is also more than enough space outside by the pool, with a good supply of sunbeds for those determined to acquire a tan. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might expect from a self-catering property, although we did notice an absence of small kitchen knives for use in preparing food, a small niggle that the management have promised to address by replacing those which have obviously gone astray. The two bathrooms are clean and functional, although elderly or less mobile guests should be aware that they both have over-bath showers rather than shower cubicles which they might find more difficult. We had no problem with them. The property is in an ideal location being just a 5 minute, almost level walk to the large Lidl supermarket at the end of the road, in which we did the majority of our food shopping; the prices are very reasonable and if you wish to do a large shop in one go the checkout staff will arrange a taxi to pick you up to save struggling with heavy bags. It is also a ten minute walk to the Large Spar supermarket and 15 minutes downhill to the many restaurants in the old port. It was a fabulous holiday and we will certainly be back to Casa Gegore!
