For us a villa in the sun had to have the perfect west facing aspect for sunset family dinners on the terrace. It needed to be close enough to fantastic restaurants & local amenities (like mains electricity, internet, supermarket, pharmacy, kids playpark etc), rural enough for open views & tranquility, & as close as possible to the surf. Plus it needed thoughtful safety & entertainment for young children to ensure parents can relax.
We'd been renting villas for years in the Canaries & had not found the perfect house so in 2012 built our own. It's full of unique features like the 12 x 7m sports pitch with 6 hole putting green & rare features like the electrically heated pool to ensure warmth even in the winter. Two master bedrooms have super kingsize beds, every mattress & all linen in the villa is the finest quality to ensure the perfect nights sleep.
It's an incredible villa equally suitable for couples, groups or families to visit:
For adults it's the perfect house to relax with unique Lajares village, mountain, sunset & sea views. Or venture into the surf or bike trails before crashing out on the highest quality beds.
For parents, the kids entertainment & safety features have been thoughtfully considered to ensure you can take that well earned rest. Features include: including: Gates to hinder toddler access to pool area. Non-slip tiles. Pool in clear view from kitchen & lounge. NO bedrooms opening onto pool. All doors & windows lockable. NO glass tables or sharp table corners, NO cactus, NO gas. Extremely quiet road with 2 sets of high gates between road & house. Water & septic tanks fenced off (vital!).
Plus- baby monitor, high chair, acrylic glassware, stair gate, bed guards, optional padded floor for bunks, mosquito nets & black-out blinds on all bedroom windows, steel shutters on Ocean room windows, kids table & chairs, smoke alarms & fire extinguisher.
We hope you can enjoy it too.
You should have a rental car in Fuerte OR use our Toyota Rav4 car which can be included with your booking at an extra cost of £200. Our car is for sole use of Villa Sonrisa guests and saves you loads of time and money on your holiday (average price of this mid size 4x4/ 5 door automatic/ climate control / all mod cons would be €400 per week!) But the best news is you don't have to queue for it- so you can maximise your time at the villa rather than the airport. On arrival, just jump in a taxi and on route to the villa collect the car, a short distance from the airport. No paperwork to sign, no queuing, no wandering around car parks- this is the fastest way to collect your car and the best price- please consider our offer. FYI some car hire companies can take two hours to arrange locally, especially the 'off airport' cars.

The property is strictly non-smoking.
