Welcome to our self catering apartment in Fuerteventura
Looking to escape from the crowds and unwind? Then we may have just what you're looking for! Relax and enjoy our bright, modern apartment in the tranquil seaside village of El Cotillo which is the perfect base for the more discerning traveller looking to get away from the tourist masses and wanting a taste of real Fuerteventuran life.
Just a stone's throw away from the beautiful white sugar-sanded lagoon beaches, reputed to be some of the best in Europe, the village is a haven for the beach-lover and a mecca for the water sports enthusiast and our lovely apartment is equidistant from the sandy coves in the north and the surf beach in the south so you have the best of both worlds. The clear turquoise waters of the many lagoon beaches are protected from the Atlantic by a volcanic reef formation which keeps the water calm and makes them ideal for swimming and snorkeling or just paddling in the rock pools which are left teeming with little fish when the tide goes out..The more remote beaches up towards the lighthouse are ‘naturist friendly’ and generally very peaceful so you can usually find yourself a quiet spot to relax and do your own thing. Just right for a 'chilled out' holiday & perfecting that all-over tan…
Our sunny first floor apartment comprises of an attractive lounge with dining area, separate fully equipped kitchen, 2 bedrooms (1 twin bed and 1 double) bathroom (with shower, vanity basin, wc & bidet) and a furnished sun terrace... It is located close to the centre of the village and a short walk from the quaint old harbour, some excellent restaurants and the stunning lagoon beaches. There is a supermarket and a coffee shop/patisserie nearby. There is also a phone & internet shop and public tennis court within easy reach and there is off street parking.
The sheltered south facing patio is bathed in bright sunshine form early morning to late afternoon which makes it ideal for alfresco dining and keeps the apartment warm & cosy during the cooler winter months. In contrast, the bedrooms face north and benefit from the cooling sea breezes blowing over from the lagoon beaches ensuring good ventilation and a comfortable night's sleep during the hottest weather. The patio has been planted with indigenous plants, which can be illuminated at night, and has attractive furniture & a large umbrella making it perfect for breakfast, a long lunch or an evening tipple.
The owner is a chef and has equipped the kitchen with everything you could think of in the way of utensils and cooking paraphernalia to ensure that you have everything you need for a relaxed self catering holiday - every meal could be a banquet!
El Cotillo, on the north west coast of the island is 20 mins drive from Corralejo. Fuerteventura is the most laid-back of the islands and just 100km from coast of Morocco and basks in 3000+ hours of sunshine each year. Largely undeveloped it has a year-round warm temp, rarely dropping below 20C making it an ideal destination whenever you visit. The island is all about peace and tranquility and its charm lies in its rugged volcanic landscape, its tiny white villages & its Caribbean-like beaches.
Excellent for all water sports. kitesurfing, wind surfing, diving, fishing, swimming etc. Also walking, cycling and birdwatching.
The apartment was designed for four people but we think three is the optimum number for comfort. Perfect for couples or a small group. The area has a very laid back approach to naturism and attracts people from all over Europe who come to enjoy the freedoms afforded by the beaches here. If you are looking for a beach orientated holiday without any razzmatazz then this is the place to come. There is a variety of beach equipment you are welcome to use. ie beach chairs, small sun parasol, wind shelter, flippers, boules, cool box etc and these can be taken to the beach on the understanding that they are replaced if they are lost or broken.
The apartment is not suitable for young children & is strictly non-smoking. It is all on one level and on the first floor of a residential development and accessed by steps so might not be suitable for people with mobility problems
There is a well stocked supermarket, a patisserie for fresh bread and a local tapas bar approximately 2 mins walk away. Within easy walking distance there is an Italian bistro, several banks with ATMs, a variety of other restaurants and bars, a hairdresser, an internet/phone shop, newspaper and gift shop etc. There is also a public tennis court and a cycle hire & surf shop nearby.
