About the host
Hosted by Julia
La Cancela Verde was our private residence before we moved to mainland Spain. We have been instrumental in creating quality villa holidays on the island since 1972 and our property management company looked after 1000 beds in various developments of apartments and villas on the island, and offered a high standard of service for many years. Our own tour operating company, (now part of First Choice), helped to develop and set the standard for quality villa holidays in the 1970s qnd 1980s. Our construction company built the villa in 1979 and we have looked after it with care over the years and continually upgrade and improve the facilities, the latest upgrades being in 2025. We take great pleasure in offering the villa to our guests and are delighted that so many return as regular clients, many returning year after year. Their comments and suggestions are always helpful and we often apply their recommendations. With our strong connection to the island over the last fifty years, our extended family often visit as well to relax and enjoy the peace and unsurpassed views that the villa offers.
We are fully licensed to offer accommodation to tourist clients. Cabildo tourist operating licence number 1657 (first issued 1991) Current tourist licence VT3570003 Land registry licence: CSV23501928AFC6B68A.
Why they chose this property
The villa was built in 1979 by the present owners to a very high specification. The design was by a renowned designer who worked with the acclaimed Lanzarote artist, Cesar Manrique, on a number of projects on the island. The house reflects many features of Cesar's designs which can be seen in his public works throughout the island. The villa occupies a unique, panoramic location above Puerto del Carmen's old village with unsurpassed views out over the sea and islands. The location offers privacy and quiet seclusion. The main lounge, terraces and the three bedroom suites, each with private terraces, offer a quiet corner with a different view at any time of the day.
Although the villa is not specifically fitted for the disabled client, it was built for ease of access, all on one level and with wider doorways. It has proven to be user friendly for persons of restricted mobility.
What makes this property unique
La Cancela Verde has an elegance and charm that modern properties cannot match. It also has unsurpassed views that many have said offer the best grandstand seat on the island. It is difficult to disagree. The location offers convenience yet seclusion. One can walk from the villa to the village and yet one is in the country and there are no closely adjoining properties. Since we built all the villas in the vicinity we ensured each one's privacy. The villa occupies 550 sq metres in gardens of half an acre and this space, and the clever design, afford privacy for all our guests - there is always a quiet spot at any time of the day as the sun moves around the terraces. The villa has enormous character and comfort and is warm in the winter and cool in the summer due to its solid construction.
