Everything was wonderful! The apartment, the terraces, the view! It was very clean and we didn’t expected to have room service, but we had after a week!:-)
We will come back!
Thank you for everything!
So nice to wake up to the sun coming up over the mountains each day. Johns place is just perfect, clean, tidy and spacious. The outside areas are such a bonus and are the best we have stayed in so far, in over 10 years that we have been going to Fuerteventura.
Our only point would be to say that the beds/ pillows for us weren’t the comfiest.
Would definitely recommend and would love to rent it again one day.
2 level upstairs apartment with 2 spacious and private outdoor terraces. Central to town, shopping, beaches. Very clean. Quiet. Lots of parking. Easy checkin vía keybox and great communication with the John. Highly recommended!
We had a lovely two week break at John’s Cotillo apartment. Very spacious and being well equipped, it made for a stress free holiday. A Great location with a mixture of holiday rentals and friendly Spanish residents. A well stocked supermarket across the road and the surfers beach a few hundred meters away. Would love to return next year.
Great base to discover El Cotillo and all its charms. The property internally had everything you needed and was in very good condition throughout. Add to that the excellent two outdoor spaces, with all day sunshine, and you do have a great stay. And then there are the views to the mountains and the Atlantic. Superb. Definitely looking to return
We’ve been to el Cotillo multiple times and spent lots of time there. This was the best experience we’ve had (and it’s normally great). We loved this apartment. Just felt right. The patios and facilities are amazing. It just help make a great holiday something special. Thanks to John and to his local rep Suka for being fabulous hosts.
I have just returned from a 2 week trip staying at this apartment , which provided an ideal base for which to explore Fuerteventura . Whilst I was out most of the daylight hours , on my return the property was a comfortable and relaxing refuge where I could absorb the experiences of the day and cook an evening meal . The owner was easy to deal with and I would use the apartment again .
The apartment is spacious with lovely views, in the right part of town and we enjoyed our holiday. The cleaning lady who came in unexpectedly did a brilliant job.It would be fair to say though that the apartment would benefit from a bit of diy here and there, some small updating is required which would make a difference as it is an attractive apartment.
Spacious 2 bed apartment in a complex that we have stayed at before. Easy to find, parking on site and keys obtained via key lock so check in very convenient. Enjoyed sitting on the upper terrace late afternoon and evenings with a glass of something fruit based watching the world go by! We self catered and all kitchen equipment is supplied...well stocked supermarket nearby, opening hours 08:30 to 21:00hrs. Plenty of restaurants nearby if you prefer to sample the local cuisine! We hired a car so that we could choose to spend our days on the beaches at the lagoons or travel to the other side of the island and enjoy the beaches south of Corralejo by the sand dunes! This apartment is in a quiet part of the island and is ideal for people that want a relaxing time away in comfort in the sunshine! The owners were very helpful and quick to respond to messages. Would recommend to friends.
We go to Fuerteventura a few times a year and stay in various properties around Lajares. First time we stayed in El Cotillo which we know very well. The property location is excellent and quiet. Both terraces are very private and views upstairs are stunning. We made the most of it during our stay. We didn't need the check in or help from the person onsite as John's instructions received prior to our trip were excellent and totally self explanatory especially as we know the area very well. The apartment was very spacious and even though some of fittings are a little outdated everything worked very well therefore this didn't bother us. The only comment I would like to make is there was nothing in the property such as condiments etc. All properties we have stayed in always have the minimum such as salt pepper handwash spare bin liners and such like! This is the only comment I can suggest which could have enhanced a very enjoyable week away.
Alles hat gestimmt. Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Küche top. Waschmaschine super hilfreich. Stabiles wlan. Sicheres heimisches Gefühl in ruhiger Lage mit Blick in die Natur. Geschäfte fussläufig erreichbar. Kommunikation zum Vermieter top. Absolut empfehlenswert Rinchecken
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in dem Apartment. Alles war zu unserer Zufriedenheit. Es ist zweckmäßig eingerichtet und der Ort ist wunderbar um einen entspannten Urlaub zu genießen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Extrem gut gelegenes Appartment, wenn man schnell zum Piedra Playa oder einfach nur zum Hafen möchte. Dass der Supermarkt um die Ecke ist, macht es noch einfacher.
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in El Cotillo sehr genossen.
Die Wohnung ist schön, vor allem die beiden Terassen und der Ausblick.
Insgesamt ist die Wohnungen etwas in die Jahre gekommen, es ist aber alles sauber.
Wie hier bereits schon oft erwähnt, können wir nicht verstehen, warum es kein Zubehör zum Spülen gibt, oder ein paar Dinge um die Wohnung während des Aufenthalts sauber zu halten.
Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war super, wir konnten früher anreisen und auch bei Problemen mit dem DVD Player wurde uns sofort geholfen.
El apartamento es espacioso, comodo y acogedor.
Cerca de todo lo necesario.
Dispone de bastante menaje y utensilios de cocina. Hemos estado comodos siendo 5 personas.
Con vistas a mejorar diria que echamos de menos que la habitación principal tuviera puerta ya que todos los ruidos que se hagan en la cocina y salon se oyen perfectamente impidiendo el descanso.
Wir haben das Appartement blitzblank übernommen. Die Küche ist gut eingerichtet, alles was es braucht ist vorhanden. Die zwei grossen Terrassen, die Aussicht auf das Meer und die Hügel ist perfekt. Wir fühlten uns wie im Einfamilienhaus. Einkaufen konnten wir im Supermarkt gleich um die Ecke. Obwohl das Appartement sehr zentral liegt, ist es sehr ruhig.
Gefehlt hat uns ein Sonnenschutz auf den Terrassen. Gut wären auch einige Starters wie Kapseln für die Abwaschmaschiene, Putzlappen, Salz oder Zucker.
Die Wohnung ist wirklich genial!
Die Wohnung liegt zentral, trotzdem ruhig und hat zwei wunderschöne Terassen mit Liegen und Sitzgelegenheiten. Bei starkem Wind oder Regen ist man auf beiden Terassen jedoch ungeschützt. Beide Schlafzimmer mit bequemen Betten, Schrank und Kommode ausgestattet. Das obere Schlafzimmer mit direktem Zugang zur Dachterrasse und Bad ist traumhaft. Ein bischen schade war, dass es keine Grundausstattung (Spüli, Spültuch, Handseife etc.) gab und ein Handtuchwechsel in 7 Tagen auch nicht möglich war. Bei Problemen mit der Waschmaschine kam -nach vergeblichem telefonischen Klärungsversuch- die zugesagte Hilfe leider nicht wie angekündigt. Zum Glück gibt es direkt um die Ecke Einkaufsmögöichkeiten, um alles zu besorgen. Haben den Urlaub trotzdem sehr genossen und empfehlen die Wohnung gern weiter.
wunderschöne Terrasse und Balkon mit fantastischem Ausblick, Betten etwas schmal, aber ok;
Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen

Why they chose this property
I first visited Fuerteventura with my family in 2002. During the holiday we travelled around the island and discovered El Cotillo, which felt like paradise. We then started to holiday in El Cotillo and fell in love with the village and its beaches. We had never been a family who returned to the same place for holidays, but when it came to El Cotillo we couldn’t help ourselves!
What makes this property unique
We were on holiday in El Cotillo over New Year in 2007and during our stay we decided to view some properties for sale. We wanted a holiday home that was large, modern and very comfortable and essentially it had to have lots of sunshine and ocean views. El Carmen is certainly the property we wanted – it really has all the comforts of modern living in a stunning location.
