We chose villa Maravilla for its privacy, sun terrace and pool and we were not disappointed. It is in a quiet and tranquil area that allowed us to relax and chill. The sun shines on the patio from morning until dusk, and there are plenty of areas for shade, or just dip in the pool. The outside bbq was fun, and we enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner, sat outside at the table. Inside is a wonderful blend of traditional and modern, and plenty of room to relax and unwind (or unwined) in the evenings. In fact, we only left the villa to stock up on food essentials and wine - we felt no need to explore the rest of the island but you can do that too if that is your thing.
The trip from the airport takes 30 minutes, and the directions are excellent. We arrived at about 9pm, and had arranged for Olga, our brilliant host, to buy us the essentials - some milk, bread, ham and cheese, and of course, a bottle of wine. This was all ready and waiting, and after a quick explore around the villa, and feeling very pleased with our choice, we settled down for a glass of wine on the terrace. That was the start to our 10 perfect days.
Olga was only ever a WhatsApp away, and replied to any questions within minutes - very reassuring.
There is a large supermarket at Corralejo, open 7 days, or the Hiperdino that is a 5 minute drive away, and is well stocked.
So all in all, a fantastic villa, peaceful and relaxing - the perfect place to step off the merry go round, and forget the world.
