Description from owner

Description

If you are looking for peace and tranquillity then Villa Gecko is the place for you. Situated on the Eastern of the exclusive Origo Mare development the location is simply stunning, with views of the wild Atlantic and Lanzarote to the north contrasting with the harsh beauty of extinct volcanoes along the Eastern horizon.The villa's location is on the northern shore of Fuerteventura roughly equidistant between Corralejo and El Cotillo and some 10 minutes drive north of Lajares.Fuerteventura is the closest Canary Island to the African coast with only 100km separating Punta de la Entillada from Cape Juby in Morocco and is the second largest (after Tenerife) of all the islands. Fuerteventura is on the same latitude as Florida and Mexico which probably accounts for the almost 3000hours of sunshine each year.Fuerteventura is encompassed by warm crystal clear water and over 150 sandy beaches. Villa gecko is perfectly placed for those who wish to discover the island of Fuerteventura at its best.There is nowhere in the Canaries with as many enormous sand dunes and long sandy beaches making this island and ideal holiday destination.This remarkable location means that car hire is essential to enjoy your tsay although the nearest village with restaurants, shops and excellent 'supermercado' is less than 10 minutes by car or 1 hour walking.

Getting around

Places to eat! The village of Lajares has a number of fine places to eat. The Supermercado is at the end of the village on the right as you head west. El Glosso is located opposite…excellent for bocadillo’s, pastries etc. We like the café con leche here!!! And finally… Bar Torino on El Cotillo Beach…eat wonderful food and watch the sunset.. Bon Vacances Hab schone ferien Felices vacaciones Don

“Comfort and a Joy”

Reviewed 29 Oct 2017

A really pleasant stay at loft 24, the studio apartment as all the home comforts one would expect although this place would certainly have gained a five star rating from me had it had the benefit of English TV and a couple of floor lamps for comfort and reading. That said, its proximity to the bustling town of Corralejo and its beautiful Beautiful beaches coupled with the attentive efforts of our hostess, Denise, made this an extremely pleasant Holiday and one I would recommend to any future guest considering Loft 24, give this some serious consideration. Thanks once again Denise
