Living-room & lounge/conservatory

A villa to enjoy: comfortable seating, pleasant lighting and a woodstove for the winterevenings that can sometimes be a bit fresh, make for a homely atmosphere that says 'welcome back' every time you get in. From the conservatory you can see the ocean in the distance.

• The house has a high wooden ceiling and the sun really only reaches inside the house in winter; so even in summer, it never gets too hot
• Excellent wireless internet connection (although not alway fast enough for streaming films)
• Large smart-tv fed by two satellite-dishes shows every major station in English (Sky on 712, BBC on 440, CBS on 155 to name a few), German, French or Dutch
• Literally hundreds of books and dvds in English, Dutch or German, various hiking guides and maps are there for your use

Using the heptagonal icon and then the square one you can enlarge the pictures to fullscreen size and you can read the subtitles.

Garden, terraces & swimming-pool

There's a choice of large or small terraces to sit or lie shielded from the wind or sun or to get a proper tan. Cushions and covers are aplenty.

The patio at the back leads into a shady area with the solar-heated pool, a large garden table with seating around it plus a barbecue.

• The porch at the front or the terrace overlooking the ocean are lovely spots for a breakfast in the sun
• You will find 'secret' places in the garden where you can sit and just dream away
• The swimming-pool (depth 120 cms) has been dug in for a part, which means you do not have to step up a ladder first; at the same time it prevents the toddlers from accidentally stepping into the pool
• The pool is solar-heated and reaches 23 degrees in winter on sunny days; in summer we switch off three quarters of the solar panels to stop the water from becoming too warm.
• There's room for your towels or clothes to dry in the inner patio

On a holiday in an ecofinca

Finca Chafariz lies 1.2 kilometers from the village of Tabayesco and is almost completely self-supporting. Electricity is generated by a series of solar panels which is stored in large batteries. There's a display in the kitchen opposite the fridge telling you the charging level.

You can cook your food on a four hob gas stove and tapwater is supplied by the island's desalination plant, running through the water main from the village to the house. Warm water is provided by a solar panel on the roof. If the sky has clouded over for more than a few days, the gas water heater takes over.

• On arrival we will tell what to pay attention to: it all really comes down not to switch on heavy electricty users simultaneously.
• If necessary a generator is always stand-by.
• Every light bulb is of an energy-efficient led-type so there's no need at all to use as few lights as possible.
• You will look for a dishwasher in vain, even the latest models use too much electricity to be run on a daily basis. The only advice we can give you is to enjoy the view whilst doing the dishes: it's magnificent (the view) ☺

Direct surroundings of Finca Chafariz

The finca (in the middle to the left, recognise the white chimney?) sits at an altitude of 120 meters more or less in het centre of Temisa valley that has the high end side at the west. As Lanzarote often has northerly or northwesterly winds, the finca lies well protected.

• The finca, the holiday house and all its amenities including the pool are there for your use alone
• The terraces are very private and are not overlooked
• The valley only has a few houses that are occupied and the road running along Finca Chafariz is a dead end road. The only traffic you can expect is by an occasional farmer, a mountain biker or a runner.
• Towards the east you can see all the way up to Tabayesco and Arrieta
• Towards the west you can look all the way to the end of Temisa valley
• From the finca driving along Tabayesco you will have reached a terrace at sea at one of the local seafood restaurants or the family beach of Arrieta within five minutes or so. The first part towards Tabayesco is a gravel road, but it is no problem at all for any kind of rental car.

You are renting Finca Chafariz straight from us

(so no booking-fees ☺)

This is us, Carmen and Hilbrand, the proud owners of Finca Chafariz. I, Hilbrand, Dutchman by birth, had my first view of the Canary Islands on board a yacht and fell in love with this beautiful archipelago. On Lanzarote, Carmen and I met and it was love at first sight. Initially we moved to Holland and then to the Spanish mainland, but soon we went back to Lanzarote and bought a plot of more than an acre in size with nothing on it, really to our liking in the sunny and green valley of Temisa, a protected nature area, and close to the eastern coast.

Here we started to build Finca Chafariz with our own hands and lived in it for nearly 25 years in the middle of this beautiful part of Lanzarote, with our daughter growing up there. As you will see, we built the house to be comfortable, equipped to live in during every season of the year, well-built with solid materials and with a footprint as modest as reasonably possible.

Currently we are living in Tabayesco a bit more than a kilometer away from Finca Chafariz which makes us easy to reach. We are always available for answering questions or do anything for you to make sure your holiday comes up to your expectations. We travelled around the world and know from experience how important it is for you to be at a holiday rental home that is clean and comfortable, the description of which is an exact match with what you find the moment you enter the finca; in short, to make you have a great time. And that is precisely what we have to offer you.

Look at the main menu at the top or athe footer menu for all sorts of possibilities to do, to get into touch with us or to ask for a booking. We are ready to help you and answer any question. Finally an honest advice: read the reviews of the guests that stayed in our house, what their experiences were with Finca Chafariz and the island of Lanzarote.
