This villa is in an ideal location within Puerto Del Carmen. It is extremely spacious, very well maintained, very well equiped and private and also very secure with multiple locked doors, burglar alarm and safe. The management company are efficient but unobtrusive. The pool area is large, fantastic BBQ, day long sunshine, lovely views, I could go on and on, and on and .... highly recommended. Fantastic welcome pack on arrival too, water, bread, cheese, ham, orange, pate, tuck biscuits, digestives, washing up liquid, even a bottle of wine. Need I say more.

Very happy with villa, plenty of space and privacy for eight. Quiet location, well laid out, great outdoors. Also very happy with service received from Lanzarote Property Management; friendly, helpful and service-minded.
Walk to beach 7-8 minutes front gate to sand(timed twice), back plus 2 minutes (uphill).
Strongly recommended.

Perfect location for families. The villa has everything for a great holiday, with large pool, super views and fully air conditioned. For those wanting peace and quiet it has it, and for those wanting to be near the centre of the resort it has that too. Highly recommended.

Just back from Lanzarote, stayed at villa cancilla in puerto del carmen. Great location, all the amenities were within walking distance. The villa is very comfortable and well equipped. The pictures of the interior on the website don't do it justice. Enjoyed the amount of space the villa had to offer, always a quiet corner to relax in.

Villa La Cancilla in Puerto Del Carmen is amazing. We have just returned from a weeks holiday and I have got to say it is the best villa we have stayed in. It is very spacious with plenty of little places for quiet times, the kids / teenagers loved the large pool and the pool table, hot tub was lovely. Very secluded and quiet, but only 10 mins walk to beach and restaurants, a shop is very close. High walls, alarm (always used), safe and iron bars on all windows except patio doors (villa still looks attractive), it really does give you peace of mind, We all felt it was really secure. It is such a lovely villa, fantastic views and we will be going back next year.

Villa La Cancilla in Puerto del Carmen is lovely and spacious with 4 bedrooms. The villa is laid out in such a way as to give you the feeling of space. There is a lovely little "quiet" area set off from the main lounge where you can lose yourself in a good book undisturbed by others.
There is a very nice outdoor seating area.
The pool area is slightly below the villa with sun loungers around.
The upper sun terrace is a real sun trap and has spectacular views of the sea and the next island, Fuerteventura.
Most of the diving in Lanzarote is in Puerto del Carmen so this villa was ideal for all of us - those who were diving and those who wanted a more relaxed holiday.
All in all we were very comfortable and couldn't have asked for more in the way of comfort and seclusion in this lovely villa.

This villa is lovely, as we arrived it had everything including 4 bedrooms, a pool, a hot tub and a pool table. However on the Saturday morning the whole of my family went to watch my father compete in the Ironman. As procedure, we left all of our money in the safe, all windows were secured. As we arrived back from watching the first part, we walked up through the 2 padlocked doors and went in, windows had been broken the place had been ram-raided. The safe was broken. Everything was gone! When Nick came round with many others from Lanzarote 1, we were told this had happened 3 times in 10 months. The thieves had come in over a wall and smashed the window, as the villa is so secluded they could have easily got away with it. Later we looked at the walls of the villa to see that they had been made bigger three times all around the villa, however there are still many ways in. Nick and Wan from Lanzarote 1 were also non-sympathetic saying, did you not know this when you booked? Please do NOT stay in Cancilla.

I am surprised at the comments about lack of security. I've been to this villa and remember it as being fully alarmed. There was even a notice next to the alarm code box advising us to use it. Maybe they should have set the alarm as this would surely have deterred the intruders. Also, the villa is set in an elevated position so not sure if the term ram raided could be taken as accurate.
<br/>I have been in a number of villas in Lanzarote and would say the security at Cancilla is better than most. Burglaries can always be expected where there is an accumulation of tourists and the villa owners and police are aware of this and do their best to minimize the risk. I do think this family were unlucky but they should have alarmed the property. This is the single biggest deterrent and they didn't use it.
