“So good I had to think twice about sharing it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011 via mobile

This was our second visit, our first visit was in February.
We were in villa number 2 and it was identical to villa 6 which we stayed in during our previous visit. The villas are in a quiet and peaceful residential area 10-15 minutes from th restaurants and bars. The accomodation is clean, spacious and built to an exeptionally high standard. We ate out most nights but we made lunch at the villa. Food and drink is as cheap or expensive as you want to make it.
Other than that the expenditure is minimal. Ana and her team ensure that the villas are kept spotless and nothing is a problem.

“Happy Hilday had by all”

We had a lovely relaxing holiday at these lovely very clean, well managed, spacious and as pictured villas.

The location was good for us, exactly what we expected being so close to the centre with the view to the sea distracted by the rooftops and solar panels it was better than a lot of the villas that had little or no view other than the rubbish bins!

The villa was cleaned regularly and the outside area and pool cleaned daily. Ana and her team were very welcoming and happy to help and helped make it great.

The only downside to the villa was the lack of an oven and if we were to be very picky air con only due to the very hot weather we experienced.

We stayed with our family. Mum 85, children 18,19 and 9 months and had a fantastic time. The only thing I would mention would be the location for someone who cannot walk very far the descent to the beach front was very steep and we did struggle with mum and the pram but we made it and just got a taxi (very cheap) back to the villa.

Best places to eat for us was definately the harbour rather than the beach front restaurants only because of the variety of choise and the excellent service.

If we were looking for another well priced holiday in Lanzarote we would definately go back.

“Good place, good service, average location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2011

My girlfriend and I stayed in Villas don Rafael for a week with our 3 months old son.
The 12 similar villas are nice, each of them has a private pool and perfect seaview. Ana, the manager, is really nice. If you ask her, she can arrange a rental car at your villa.
The pools are NOT heated so when the daily temparture is 20-25 degrees in the sun the water is just too cold to enjoy it any longer than a quick 'in-and-out'. If the water was heated this would really make it the perfect spot.

The beach is approx. 500 m straight down the road. Back up takes you about 10 -15 min.
The old part of town, near the harbor, is approx. 20 - 30 min away on foot. Back up, obviously, takes you a bit longer. If you go there, have dinner at Bodeco's, and ask if you can have a table upstairs. It's the most romantic spot you'll find in PdC and the food is homemade and very tasty.

Rooms are clean. double bathroom is nice alltough hot water runs out quickly. When it does, you have to waith 15-30 min before ou can take another shower.
Dishwasher and washing machine included.
During high season , when temp is 30 degrees, we might stay here again, otherwise the pool is just to cold.

For short, great but not perfect if you like to spend all day in the pool..

“Top Class”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2010

Stayed in one of these villas with 3 mates for a few nights and was blown away especially with the the pool area, there was 3 good sizes rooms 2 with single beds and one with a double .Great to be able to get straight out of bed and dive into your own pool on the bright warm morning, best way to start a day.Or chill out in the evening soaking up the views. It cost us about €390 for 3 nights which was about €33 each per night , the villa was clean with a lovely view from the back veranda overlooking the pool.Sunsets were spectacular over the mountains. It was a five minuite walk down to the strand, we never walked back up as the taxis are so cheap

“Great accomadation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

Found this holiday great and relaxing as we never stayed in a villa before.Allways stayed in apts or hotel no getting up running for sun beds or over crowded pools .This was so easy, going go to the pool when you want to plenty of room ten steps and your back in the villa.Villa were very clean and pool cleaned every few days in the morning at aruond 8 in the morning.Walking into old or new town is about 8 to 10 minutes,close to two supermartkets too.Very quit in night except for main bedroom which faces out onto main road but not that bad as you are about 40 feet from it and noise is faint.A taxi home at night is only 260euro as walk back is up a slight incline which is only at start from new town.Overall well worth it for the relaxation and comford of the villa and pool too.would go back again well worth it.
