Eco Fisherman´s Cottage, Arrieta See All Availability

Eco Fisherman´s Cottage

Voted "The best seaside villa in Europe" in The Times on Saturday 12th June 2010.

This quaint seafront cottage, situated in the authentic fishing village of Arrieta, has been restored to a high standard and features wooden floors, Canarian balcony and a fishing theme – there is even a rod supplied for guests who want to catch their own dinner. One of the original village buildings, the cottage is situated next to the slipway where local fishermen still launch their colourful, painted wooden boats into the water.

Our Eco Fisherman's Cottage was featured as one of the top 20 seaside stays in the travel section of The Guardian, Saturday 21 March 2009, “Classy beach cabins on Europe´s coasts”.

The cosy ground-floor living room, with its panoramic sea views, has a double sofa bed and MP3 docking station. The fitted kitchen is fully equipped with fridge-freezer, gas oven, hob and toaster, as well as a dining table and chairs. There is an outdoor shower on this level.

Outside, the spacious courtyard is ideal for al-fresco dining, perfect for a candlelit meal under the stars. From here, an external wood staircase leads up to the first-floor master suite. Luxurious, open-plan and with spectacular sea views, this light and airy room features a comfy king-size bed, wooden-surround bath, single sofa bed and separate toilet.

There are four solar panels, which make the most of the fantastic Lanzarote weather, storing the power and supplying all the electricity for the property. This quaint cottage is the perfect example of how simple – and stylish – a sustainable holiday can be.

The price per night is based on upto 4 people sharing the Eco Fisherman´s Cottage.
