4 weeks family holiday
We're a young family with a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old and were looking to take a long break before our oldest starts school next year.
We'd never been to the Canaries before but hoped to get good weather in March/April.
The temperature is always around 22 degrees but the wind has a massive impact on whether it's warm or hot.
Peurto Calero is a beautiful quiet town centred around the marina, designed with the tourist in mind. Must have a dozen restaurants and bars to choose from. The house is a five-minute walk from those. There's also a brand new supermarket that opened in April that is just one road down from the house. Really handy. The town is about a five-minute drive from Puerto Del Carmen which is a busy tourist town with everything else you need including softplay and playgrounds for the kids.
The house was perfect.
A beautiful heated pool, which the kids were crazy about. Pool guy comes to clean it every week and it has a cover to keep the heat in at night.
Really good kitchen, really well equipped.
The bedrooms are a really good size, so plenty of room all round.
We had some visitors come to stay with us, like the grandparents. They had their own ensuite room while they were there, so we all fit comfortably.
The cleaners came every week and left the place good as new. Buenavilla also worked around our schedule so that the house was cleaned before visitors came to stay, which was greatly appreciated.
I also worked from the villa for one week and the wifi was perfect for zoom calls.
it's a quiet road with maybe 20 houses, so we had all the peace and quiet we could ask for.
Finally for kids, Lanzarote is really well set up. It's a tiny island so nothing is far away. (We had a car). Water parks in Playa Blanca, Zoo, Crazy Golf, soft plays. Playgrounds are hit and miss but we found a really good one in Playa Blanca and Femes.
There's no beach in Puerto Calero but a beautiful swimming spot just outside Marina
