Spanish Symmetry

Spanish Symmetry: Canary Islands

A gorgeous pool and a shaded alfresco area await guests at this large home in southern Lanzarote – perfect for that long-awaited friend reunion or family getaway. While the bedrooms and living room are perfectly functional, if a little light on colour and design, it's the outdoor area that'll get you excited. With plenty of sun loungers and shaded seating, sun lovers and the sun-phobic are equally catered for here. You can feed the troops at the barbeque, or head to one of the nearby eateries, while the nearest beach is less than a mile away.

Home truths:
*Due to the location of this home, you may want to hire a car to get the most out of your stay, and there’s free parking here – although the area also offers cheap and reliable taxi public transport
*There are several steps leading up to the home from the pool area here
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times – it is also heated from November to April
*At full occupancy, there isn't enough seating around the dining tables for all guests here
