Villa Aura, a beautiful home located in a natural setting
Beautiful and super comfy villa in a small and typical village within an amazing natural setting surrounded by Canarian Palm groves.
The villa is completely independent and peaceful, it is the perfect place to disconnect, relax and rest.
The house is open concept, including a living room-kitchen with beautiful gabled wooden ceilings and two suites with their private spacious bathrooms. The exteriors of the house include a fantastic porch with a huge sofa, perfect for reading, or enjoying a drink, a patio area with barbecue, sink and a dining table that are close to the private pool, a terrace with fantastic views and a small toilet.
Everything was just perfect. Communication with Sabel was easy. Directions were spot on as it is a little off grid.The property was spotless everywhere.Internet was perfect.Whole property is well equipped.Perfect relaxing Christmas and New year for us.Couple of restaurants and bar five minutes drive or 40 mini walk.Would highly recommend.
A beautiful luxurious house at the end of a small village in the centre of the island. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place to be. You hardly ever hear noises of civilization, only your own ones. This of course also means that the nearest kind of infrastructure like food stores or restaurants are about 7 kms away. You need to drive about an hour via serpentines to get to the coast.
My husband and I stayed for a week at Villa Aura in the middle of October. We absolutely loved being away from the crowds and having the villa to ourselves. It is very private and not overlooked. It is tastefully decorated, very clean and all the amenities work well. The villa has everything you need, including a small pool which is wonderful. The area of Santa Lucia is stunning and the village has two good restaurants, some bars, plus a small shop. You 100% need a car and the drive to the villa and back to the coast is about 40 mins and up very windy roads. I would say you need to be a confident driver. But we loved it and the views are breathtaking. We would definitely return.
We (couple) stayed at Villa Aura for a whole month. Sabel and Jose were so welcoming and supportive and made it easy to feel at home from the beginning. The villa had everything we needed and is fully equipped and remodeled with love. We absolutely loved hanging out by the pool, BBQing and so on. We worked there remotely, so being in away from everything distracting was perfect for us. We had some internet issues but figured it out with Sabel and Jose and the internet provider company.
It takes about 45 Minutes to drive to the coast and a bigger city, which was no issue for us at all. There are some restaurant and grocery options nearby. But small ones. Though we do recommend a car if you stay there.
Thanks again, Sabel and Jose, we hope to come back soon!
We stayed for 10 days in February and enjoyed every minute. Communication with Sabel was prompt and easy, her English is excellent! We arrived much later than expected and Sabel and Jose were more than happy to wait and welcome us to their perfect villa. The villa was pretty and spotless, with everything we required, including the most comfortable bed! We arrived in the dark, so the mountain views were a lovely surprise in the morning . We had stayed in Gran Canaria before but never in the mountains. This was a completely different experience and for us, far more enjoyable and less 'touristy'. The nearest towns, Santa Lucia and San Bartolome are very pretty and the local people are really friendly. The views everywhere are breathtakingly beautiful and change throughout the day, we never realised Gran Canaria is so green! Thank you so much Sabel and Jose.
The villa is very quiet and secluded and away from distraction. Lovely walking opportunities and stunning mountain views. If you want a very quiet time and an option to explore by car the villa is ideal. The kitchen is well equipped and the double bed is wide and very comfortable. Best to stock up on food from airport to villa but several large supermarkets on way from airport. We brought a week's food and only needed to buy bread locally in Santa Lucia.
The hosts are super-attentive but give you plenty of space. No complaints at all. It was relatively cold in the evening outside in May but heating/aircon work well inside the house. WiFi was good inside the house but the walss are thick so reception is zero outside. Altogether ideal for a week's break away from it all for two people comfortable in each others company.
We hebben genoten van het indrukwekkende uitzicht op de bergen. Prachtige omgeving. Het huis is comfortabel en ligt beschut, in de vallei en is een van de laatste huizen van het dorpje Ingenio Santa LucĂa. Wat moeilijk bereikbaar, dat wel. Smal en steil weggetje. Een auto is een must en voor aankomst boodschappen inslaan ook. De dichtstbijzijnde grotere supermarkt is in Vecindario.
Hervorragendes Ferienhaus. GroĂzĂŒgig, modern eingerichtet, neues Inventar, mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Toller Ausblick auf die Berge, sehr ruhige Gegend. Ein Traum.
Sehr ruhig gelegen am Rand eines kleinen Ortes unterhalb von Santa Lucia - man wird weder durch Autos noch FlugzeuglĂ€rm gestört; modern eingerichtet mit perfekter elektronischer Ausstattung - sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Betreuung. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt!
Die Villa ist super eingerichtet, Herd, Mikrowelle, Backofen, etc. Sogar an USB LadegerÀte neben den Betten wurde gedacht. Flachbildschirme in Wohnzimmer und Schlafzimmer mit Internet Zugang runden das Bild ab. Wie auch schon von anderen GÀsten beschrieben, ist die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern super freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Wir waren mit unserer kleinen Familie in Sabels Unterkunft und sind unglaublich angetan.
Wunderschönes kleines HÀuschen mit toller Aufteilung, liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem was man braucht. Die Lage ist ein Traum - mitten in der Natur, Ruhe und Erholung pur. Mit einem Mietwagen die perfekte Ausgangslage um die Insel zu erkunden.
Die Kommunikation mit Sabel war einwandfrei und sehr zuvorkommend, tolle Tipps z.B. zum Einkaufen. WĂ€hrend unseres Aufenthalts wurde sogar einmal der Pool gereinigt und sich stets um alle unsere Anliegen gekĂŒmmert.
Vielen Dank fĂŒr den traumhaften Urlaub :-)
100%ige Weiterempfehlung!
We spent the Christmas Holidays with another couple in the beautiful Villa from Sabel and Jose. The House was spotless and we had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxed vacation. The location is fantastic, although it is a little drive, if you want to see the main attractions of the island. No problem if you have a rental car!
The communication with Sabel was easy and without any problems. Her and Jose are great hosts and took good care of us. Even on arrival on Christmas day, Sabel provided us with groceries so we wouldn't go hungry ;-)
Their little villa in the mountains is a wonderful gem and we would love to come back!
