Located in a lovely residential area, the Villa Gran Famara is excellent for families and groups wanting a holiday combining activity and relaxation.

Situated in Los Mojones just outside the centre of Puerto del Carmen, the single-storey house lies in its own attractive grounds. Fabulously presented inside and out, the high standard of accommodation is immediately noticeable, with elegant and comfortably furnished rooms that make spending time here a pleasure. A sleek spacious open-plan sitting-dining area is the centre of the house. Designed to accentuate the feeling of glamour and space, the room is furnished in a chic contemporary fashion with comfy sofas, a large dining table, crisp clean lines and state-of-the-art units creating a sunny and welcoming place.

In fact everywhere you turn is beautifully furnished, including the ultra-modern kitchen that's sleek, chic, spacious and equipped with modern gadgets and a large dining table seating up to six. The three bedrooms continue in the same super-stylish vein with understated white walls, light wood furnishings, striking cushions and candles adding splashes of bright colour. Two luxury bathrooms - including one ensuite - complete the interior comforts.

The outdoor areas of the Gran Famara are delightful, with a built-in barbecue and patio complete with a delightful gazebo that will tempt you to stay put and linger over alfresco meals. Alongside the house, there is a spacious tiled surround furnished with sunloungers perfect for working on your tan, and to the rear a fabulous pool area, with a good-size pool you cannot resist and more sunbathing space.

Puerto del Carmen centre, only two kilometres away, has beaches to enjoy, as well as lots of resort entertainments, restaurants and shops, while the nearest golf course is also close by - jump behind the wheel and you are there in around 30 minutes.
