click to view

A large traditional property with a quiet residential area, the impressive Lomo Gordo stands within its own well-tended gardens and is an ideal base in Puerto del Carmen with beaches, shops, bars and restaurants all a leisurely drive or fairly easy walk away.

A brightly whitewashed house, the villa is beautifully designed to maximize natural light and offers tastefully furnished accommodation with a noticeably private feel to its rear walled pool terrace. Surrounded by its own grounds and parking area, the focal point is undoubtedly the beautifully furnished open-plan living room on the ground floor. Furnished with welcoming wooden furniture, this light and spacious room has glass doors to a lovely covered terrace, creating a delightful daytime area and perfect for enjoying leisurely alfresco breakfasts and conjuring up delicious home-cooked barbecues. Steps from the house lead down to a stunning pool terrace, which affords views over the hills and surrounding area, where it is hard to resist lounging the hours away in blissful peace and quiet. The generously proportioned pool is a constant temptation and a perfect excuse to spend entire days basking in its waters and there's plenty of room for positioning sunloungers to face the sun.

Inside, the interior layout is practical and things are kept of a high standard with pine furnishings, tiled floors, cool, crisp colours featuring throughout the rooms and a pristine kitchen with a large wooden table comfortably accommodating four people. The three attractive bedrooms are both tastefully finished with the two twin bedrooms complete with patio doors sharing a family bathroom. The remaining master double bedroom connects to a smart ensuite bathroom. This room also has doors to a covered terrace, so you can gaze out at the twinkling sky at night.

Comfortably close to the attractions of Puerto del Carmen and its beaches, the Lomo Gordo makes a truly convenient and pleasing choice.
