Perfect location for coastal walks to Calero and Quemada
Decent size balcony which lends itself to self catering.
Excellent restaurants at walkable distance particularly Mario's.
Sea swimming feasible for the outdoor type.
We’ve stayed many times in this apartment & the second time this year. Had a lovely stay, as usual. Great sea views from the large terrace and nice walk to the restaurants of the old town.
Brillant apartment, exactky as described and as in pictures, great communication from owner and a pleasure to deal with. Apartment is perfect location. Walking distance to everything. Will definitely be back.
Myself and my husband have stayed in this apartment for the second year. It is a great place to stay and the location is fantastic. The views are amazing very peaceful.The communication between Angles and ourselves was second to none. We will definitely be back 5stars all around.

From the moment we arrived this was clearly a fantastic accommodation. Located in the old town near all the restaurants. Superdino 5 mins walk. You would not need a car if you stayed here and had everything to make a very pleasant stay. Will definitely stay here again if back in Puerto del carmen.
The photos of apartment do not do it justice. We have been comingbto Puerto Del Carmen old town for nearly 30 years and this is by far the best place we have stayed.
Will definately be back.
The property was perfect for our needs.
Close to picturesque walks to Calero and Que Mada. Stunning scenery from balcony. Lots of five star restaurants and various local entertainment.
Large balcony to relax on.
Kitchen facilities great for cooking and eating in.
Das Apartment liegt oberhalb des Hafens in Puerto dem Carmen! Die Terrasse ist ein Traum! Wir kommen immer wieder sehr gerne an diesen Ort!
Nette Begrüßung, klappt alles bestens!
Relaxing part of puerto carmen within walking distance of bars and restraunts
Great holiday perfect location as we are nearing 60 lol clean and adequate the selling point for us was the enormous veranda only down side not the fault of owners were the flies and the taxi numbers don’t work for some reason off mobile phone 🤷♀️
The apartment has everything you need and is in a great location right on the extreme edge of Puerto del Carmen but with lots of restaurants within walking distance. The zigzag path to Puerto Calero starts right outside the apartment! Comfy bed, nice bathroom areas and plenty of space.
Communication with host was the only slight negative - the phone number we were given was never answered, but luckily someone phoned back each time we tried to contact them (esp. from the airport!). Key handover lasted about 30 seconds! A non-working coffee machine was replaced 2 days later, but was a nice luxury to have.
But the terrace and view from this apartment were amazing! We really didn't want to leave (and this very rarely happens with us, so is praise indeed!). The terrace is huge (we didn't see a bigger one in the whole of Puerto del Carmen!), gets sun all day long, has a great view of the harbour, and has a part-covering which allows dappled shade or full sun according to how hot you are! Nice recliners, comfy chairs and table/chairs. Basically, if you are like us, you will spend all your time on that terrace! And, if you are like us, you will love it :-)
Tolles Apartment, super Lage, waren schon sehr oft hier und werden hoffentlich noch viele schöne Zeiten dort verbringen! Netter Kontakt mit der Vermieterin, wenn man etwas braucht wird es sofort erledigt! Freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Urlaub!
Das Appartement ist unsere erste Adresse auf Lanzarote! Nach der Renovierung noch schöner geworden! Das allerbeste ist die große Terrasse mit Blick auf den Hafen! Wir sind immer wieder gerne hier! Freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Urlaub! Netter Kontakt mit den Vermietern, klappt alles wunderbar!
We had a fantastic stay!
The apartment completely exceeded our expectations on all levels. Angeles is a wonderfully kind host, she went above and beyond to ensure our stay was absolutely perfect - nothing was too much trouble. We were greeted by her and her lovely daughter upon arrival and treated to a wonderful bottle of wine as a welcome gift!
The apartment was beautifully laid out and very tastefully furnished, and it was SPOTLESSLY clean. I especially loved the storage solutions provided - it allowed complete organisation throughout our stay.. For the ladies .... double sinks with two very spacious drawers underneath, excellent lighting (for makeup application) and plug socket for hair dryer etc. A hair dryer is supplied but doesn't have a nozzle.
I would argue that the photos provided do not do this apartment justice - it is so much nicer in reality. Towels (including beach towels and face cloths) bed linens and tea towels were provided along with a wide range of cleaning materials. A large bottle of hand sanitiser was also supplied. Wifi was fast and consistent.
The sunny terrace is huge, furnished with sunbeds, dining table and chairs, and an informal coffee area! There are two adjustable canopies to provide shade when required. The views across the harbour and out towards sea can be enjoyed from both the terrace and the apartment - breathtaking!
Location is perfect, short walk along the beautiful harbour boardwalk to Old Town then approximately 5 minute walk from there to nearest beach. 10 minute walk from here will take you to the 'strip' in the 'New Town'. There is a small supermarket 2 minutes walk away which provides almost everything you may need during your stay. Next door to this is a friendly bar restaurant which also supplies take away meals.
We hired a car and found it very easy to park, however from experience I know this may be more challenging during busier periods, particularly during the July fiesta when the main carpark in the harbour is closed. That said, a space can always be found - just perhaps not as close by. A car is by no means necessary for this location as everything is accessible on foot.
Finally, a huge thank you to Angeles, you are a fantastic host, you made our stay absolutely perfect! We hope to return to your beautiful apartment very soon. Take care and stay safe xxxx
