Quiet villa next door to helpful owner
We had a lovely stay at Villa Timanfaya for the two of us for one week. The accommodation is in a relatively quiet location, apart from the early morning wake up call from a nearby cockerell (at 5am each morning!) and the distant noise of motorway traffic. The villa is located on the west of the island, which does appear to have more cloud and wind than the east, but we made good use of the pool which we arranged to be heated at extra cost.
The villa has a well equipped kitchen and the only area for improvement would have been the provision of perhaps a welcome pack of basic grocery items, especially as we arrived late at night. A pair of oven gloves, a tin opener, a second tea towel, pool towels, an extra bathroom towel and a hairdryer would also have been useful.
We had a minor issue with loss of internet/ wifi connection through the TP link, but this was quickly rectified by the very helpful owner (who lives next door), resetting his router.
A car is needed to access the villa and get around the island to visit tourist attractions. We had some lovely restaurant meals, overlooking the sea, in both El Golfo and Playa Blanca.
Overall, a very enjoyable holiday in this villa, that was unfortunately spoiled due to cancellation of our return BA flights home with 48 hours notice and having to find an alternative flight to get us home for work the next day, but, of course, we understand that this was nothing to do with the villa provider.
