Wonderfully located in the picturesque village of Fataga, this spacious and well-appointed holiday house is ideal for those wishing to get away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal resorts of Maspalomas et al., whilst at the same time being only a 20 minutes or so drive away from the chance of a salty dip, should the urge arise. The surrounding hills and countryside offer the opportunity for rambling, hiking or cycling, whilst the village itself has everything you need should you wish to stay put – convenience stores, eateries, gift shops and even a petrol station.
Although we were late for the appointed key hand-over due to issues with our hire car, a quick phone call to the contact number provided meant that we were unpacking the car a few minutes later. On entry, we were touched to see the table full of welcoming gifts – sweets, fruit and wine, the warmth of which was equalled, if not topped by a visit from the owner himself, who handed us not only another bag of wonderfully zesty fruits from the garden, but also a beautiful, hand-painted print fashioned from his own hands.
The communication with the owners worked without a hitch, despite our total lack of Spanish - even the minor issue of a broken light bulb was fixed on the same evening after it had been reported.
We had a brilliantly relaxing holiday in this highly recommendable holiday rent, which has everything you need for your stay, including the all-important opportunity to eat outside in the cosy enclosed courtyard at the front of the property.
Sun, scenery, sand, sea - enjoy!
