This corner unit villa lies in the heart of one of the oldest village’s in Fuerteventura, the property has been converted into a 5 bedroom villa spaced out over 2 floors. The villa holds a very special feel to it right from the moment you 1st see it. Walking up to the spanish property the villa greets you with tonnes of character and charm with its beautiful Canarian appearance. Something that is sometimes hard to find. The garden area from the front entrance is perfectly manageable and is decorated in abundance of different and colorful plant life. All of the bedrooms are a lovely size with more than enough size to store no end of essentials, with the light flooding into the bedrooms, giving a cozy and tranquil space, perfect for anyone getting a good nights sleep after spending the day enjoying the sea and sun.

For me the most fascinating feature this property has which makes it so unique is the incredibly big, covered, Barbecue area. That also acts as a large entertainment area, and eating area. Utilizing this space for the kitchen also maximizes the amount of space we all wish to have in our kitchens.

El Cotillo stunning beaches in Fuerteventura Apartments & Villas

El Cotillo is well known to all those who visit Fuerteventura's stunning beaches as the white sandy lagoons to the North of the little fishing village are famous for their unique beauty and idyllic calm conditions for bathing, plus the long stretched out bay to the South has some of the best kite, wind and surf conditions for the more experienced in watersports. Typically though with its roots as a fishing village it has grown around the 2 main harbours sharing a limited sheltered space for its fishing fleet. Property wise this means apartments rather than villas have grown up around the waterfront and indeed unlike the villages of Lajares and Villaverde the percentage build allowed or 'edificable' is much higher encouraging local developers to build apartments as they offer the best return and maximise the square meterage usuable in the build. For those looking to buy detached villas, the closest village is El Roque literally a 10 min walk to the waters edge along the newly paved palm lined road or bicycle path. 'Frontline' villas here command a panoramic view of the coastline to the West and offer the peace and tranquility found in the Northern villages plus the convenience of strolling to the beaches. The village itself does have it's own church of course plus a lovely restaurant and Inpescasa has main supermarkets in both Lajares and El Cotillo close by. Being a smaller village than its neighbours, fewer properties come up for sale here. This recent listing repesents the kind of position and luxury you can occasionally find with a large private plot over 1000m2, sheltered swimming pool, 3 bedrooms spread over a total build of 206m2.

Fuerteventura Blue Flag Beaches for Summer 2008

Five of Fuerteventura’s “best” beaches will be proudly flying the coveted blue flag this summer: Gran Tarajal, Costa Calma, Matorral, Butihono (Pajara) and the beaches of La Oliva have been singled out for the quality of the waters, rescue staff, sands and services as being worthy of the blue flag, which is awarded on an annual basis by the European Federation for the Environment.

This year the distinguished blue flags will be flying in more than thirty countries in Europe, South Africa, New Zealand, Canada and the Caribbean helping tourists unfamiliar with the area to find not only the safest, cleanest, most environmentally friendly beaches but also the beaches where nature and progress have reached the perfect balance.
Not to be left out of the awards, 7 Gran Canarian beaches will also be flying the prestigious Blue Flags this summer. Playa de Mogan, Amadores, San Agustin, Playa del Ingles, Melenara and Las Canteras have all been singled out as worthy. In particular the Port of Mogan won the award for the first time having been designed to allow fresh sea water to circulate in the harbour.
