About the property
Carlara’ is a new villa on a quiet, low density, residential area of Faro Park, located at the end of a small cul-de-sac, with private parking for 2 cars. Carlara is approx 35 mins drive from the airport. But only 2 mins walk from the wonderful French Patisserie, Canarian Coffee Bar, two bars, some restaurants, including Chinese and a Balti House (with delivery & takeaway) plus mini supermarket.
About 5 mins drive to the Playa Flamingo Beach and Playa Blanca town with its harbour, great selection of restaurants/bars and pedestrianised shopping area and its own beach. It is here you could catch the ferry over to Fuerteventura. Another 2 mins drive are the natural Papagayo beaches continuing all along the coastline.
This villa has lots of extras not many other villas offer, air conditioning in bedrooms security alarm, luxurious 100% cotton designer linen, choice of pillows and robes, hair dryer for every bedroom, not to mention the night safe, electric cooler box for the car, acrylic poolside glasses & crockery and cut crystal glasses for in doors.
Something different from the rest of the villas is the Atrium indoor glass courtyard planted out with subtropical style plants. Great here for coffee and a wonderful crossiant from the bakery only 2 mins walk away.
The pool, which has roman steps with 2 safety handlebars, is 8mts x 4mts and in the centre is 1.6 mts deep, around the edges, the water is about 1mtr. It is heated by electric heater pump with a thermostat that can be adjusted and timer, so that the pool should always be inviting and should be covered with the pool cover overnight or when not in use. The pool is cleaned twice a week, tested and treated, as hygiene is very important.
Surrounding the heated pool are 8 'Textoline' sun loungers, beach/pool towels are provided, also a patio table & 6 reclining 'Textoline' chairs; The villa is enclosed with a 1 metre volcanic wall, which offers privacy and of course keeping the little ones safe. The garden has been landscaped, 'Canarian Style' with beautiful sub-tropical plants like Bougainvillea, Bird of Paradise, lots of cacti and other Canarian plants. The black picon is a dramatic ground cover that contrasts so well with the plants(small chips of volcanic stone). The garden is watered automatically and the gardener visits once a month.
Cool luxurious marble floors compliment accents in volcanic rock and timber. From the hall through to the lounge there is wonderful inside Garden Terrace/Atrium with more plants - in here you could have morning coffee or in the evening, watch the stars with a glass of wine, overlooking the pool. The kitchen which has micro/grill, blender, wok, a halogen hob & oven with rotisserie, fridge freezer and of course a dishwasher. We have tried to think of everything, right down to acrylic glasses and plates for poolside yet still have cut crystal at dinner. Alongside is the laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer, iron and ironing board.
The lounge adjoins the kitchen via a timber breakfast bar and a lovely archway, allowing views of the Lighthouse (‘Faro’) and a glimpse of the islands of Fuerteventura and Lobos. The lounge has really comfortable seating for up to 9 persons, with a quality Italian ivory leather suite. There are even throws to be used should you wish to come straight from the pool. Here a Z bed or two could be set up for guest numbers over 6. TV with DVDs, (100+ DVD selection), and English SATILLITE stations. For extra entertainment, if needed, there is an X-BOX +3games and a CD player with speakers and CDs. Here the cool high domed ceiling keeps this room really light and airy.
From the lounge there are timber and glass patio doors that open out onto the large shaded ‘al fresco’ dining area (rustic table & chairs enough for 10) with a large Canarian style built barbecue.
