Perfect place to get away, relax and unwind with friends or family.
The property is large and spacious with a lovely open plan design. Fully renovated to a high spec. There are great views from the balcony terrace where you can cook a treat on the BBQ. We have recently added a new hot tub so you can relax and enjoy.
Just 2 minutes walk to the local Tauro Grill restaurant and Spar supermarket. There is also a large communal heated swimming pool and a kids playing area. We can provide a cot, high chair and a kid's playbox with toys. We also installed a full IPTV system with cartoons, sports, boxsets and all European TV including UK and Scandanavian. It's perfect for families.
It can comfortably sleep 6 adults and 1 child but we prefer to keep it to 6 people or less. There are 2 double beds and 2 single beds. We also have a baby cot and high chair if required.
All the bedrooms are located downstairs with the living area, kitchen and balcony terrace upstairs offering great views.
You can access directly to the downstairs patio (sun trap) from the bedrooms. All bathrooms have marble finishing and throughout the house you will notice the attention to detail.
Casa Holmston really is the best Duplex in the complex and the interior design is stunning with great views from the terrace/balcony to the golf course.
In the complex there is an excellent restaurant - “The Tauro Grill” and a large Spar supermarket (both less than 2 minutes’ walk). There is also a larger communal swimming pool solely for the use of owners and renters (we provide a key to access). Within this area there are also exercise equipment. There is a side gate access to the walkway to the local Tauro beach. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the beach.
We highly recommend renting a car for your stay as there is so much to explore on this fantastic island. It is so much more than a beach and sun destination and if you take a trip up the mountains you will have amazing views of the volcanic landscape. You can eat in cave restaurants and enjoy traditional Canarian cuisine away from the tourist traps. There is room for 2 cars to park right outside the front door.
But if you want to explore more then we can recommend Palmitos Park, Aqualand, Angry Birds Park, Sioux City and many other attractions. Afrikat is the best boat trip to go on and is a great day out. We provide loads of information to our guests about activities, restaurants and tours through our detailed information pack that we send to all guests.
As I am based in Gran Canaria I am happy to meet guests and give recommendations based on your preferences.
More information on the area:
· Puerto Mogan, known as Little Venice, has become quite accessible from Tauro since a new dual carriageway has been opened from Tauro in 2013 and is now just about a 5 minute drive away through the new tunnels. The Friday Market is highly recommended.
· Puerto Rico has vehicle access from Tauro through a tunnel and is now just a few minutes from your villa . Night life here is lively but still far enough away not to be noticed unless guests wish to enjoy a special few nights out.
· Las Palmas, the capital city , which is less than one hour's drive from Tauro boasts a modern Opera House, superb beaches and shopping attractions.
· There are 7 championship golf courses on the island, with the most popular , Anfi Tauro, on your doorstep, as the villa overlooks the driving range.
More information on the region:
· Tauro is based in the middle of the municipality of Mogan , which is primarily dedicated to tourism.
· The main six tourist areas are all within a short drive and comprise Arguineguin, Patalavaca, Anfi del Mar, Puerto Rico, Amadores, Tauro, Playa del Curator, Taurito and Puerto de Mogan. They all feature a range of restaurants and bars along the avenues and walkways that lead to the end of the beaches.
· Amadores beach with its 5 star beach club and numerous bars and restaurants is less than 5 minutes from the villa.
Swimming here is very popular as the beach is designed to cut off large waves from the Atlantic Ocean.
There are many attractions to explore in the area including Palmitos Park, Aqualand, Sioux City, Angry Birds Park and many other places.
I also highly recommend a day trip to Las Palmas city - it is an incredible city with great history and architecture and one of the largest city beaches in the world.
In summary, if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to enjoy your holiday then our villa is perfect.
