Nombreuses plantes | 2 Chats | 1 Animal de la ferme

We have two cats, Ferdi and Isi: a brother and sister with surprisingly contrasting characters. They are both free to roam the house and garden and are generally quite self-contained, but they are very affectionate and enjoy human company. We give them dried food twice a day, morning and early evening.

We also have a small flock of hens who will keep you well supplied with eggs. They are very easy to look after and require no more checking twice a day, to ensure their water and feed is topped up, and to collect the eggs.

Most of the garden is covered by an irrigation system but we have a few plants in pots both inside and outside that will need some water and about 10 to 15 minutes of your time every couple of days.

Because the house and village is remote, the garden is quite large and we have the cats and the chickens to look after, this house sit may be more suitable for couples or families rather than single travellers. If travelling on your own, you could consider bringing a friend to help you.

Précisions sur les dates

These dates are our actual travel dates but we recommend house-sitters come at last two days before, so as to familiarise themselves with the house and the animals - or stay a few days longer if that makes travel more convenient.

Logement

Traditional Canary Islands house or "finca" in a remote hamlet on the beautiful island of Lanzarote. The house, which was fully restored in 2016, is located in a protected natural area, away from the island's tourist resorts. Nestling on the slopes of one of Lanzarote's most iconic volcanoes, the house has extensive private gardens which enjoy sweeping views of the local countryside and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. There is much to explore in the local area by car or on foot – something for everyone, from beaches to historic sites, art, culture, sports and wildlife. The garden contains numerous places to sit and relax, catch the sun, enjoy the views , or dine al fresco. Visitors are welcome to browse or books and CDs, and any musicians may enjoy playing the piano in the salón. There is a fast and stable fibre internet/WiFi connection which also makes it possible to come here for a working vacation if you can work remotely. People often comment on how quiet and peaceful it is here. Due to the location of the village, high in the mountains, it can be more cloudy here than in the holiday resort areas, and a little cooler as well. …

People often comment on how quiet and peaceful it is here. Due to the location of the village, high in the mountains, it can be more cloudy here than in the holiday resort areas, and a little cooler as well. In the village there is a small shop, a restaurant, a bar serving food. There are 4 buses daily to the island's capital. Lanzarote airport is 30 minutes away by car. Though it is not essential to have a car, and we are happy to collect visiting house-sitters from the airport, renting a car for your stay will open up more possibilities to get out an enjoy the island.

In the adjoining villages, there are more extensive shops and restaurants, and each Saturday there is a lively and colourful artisanal craft and food market in the nearest town, 5 Kms away.

The house is divided into two parts - our home and a self-contained apartment for guests, so you can be here at the same time as us in the, comfort and privacy of your own space. The apartment consists of two double bedrooms, bathroom, living/dining room and kitchen.

We recommend you plan to come at last two days before we leave to get familiar with the house and animals, what else needs doing and how things work. It will be our pleasure if wish stay on a few days afterwards, if that makes your travel easier.

Tourisme et loisirs

There is much more to Lanzarote than sun and sandy beaches. The volcanic geology and scenery is truly spectacular. The whole island is dedicated a Biosphere by UNESCO. César Manrique, the island's most famous artist, nurtured this with a vision of sustainable tourism and ecology that was 40 years ahead of its time. Many of his finest works, which bring together nature, art, architecture and sheer exuberance in a uniquely Lanzarotan way, can be found close by and should not be missed. One of these, the Mírador del Río, you can walk to in around half an hour from here.

The area is also a walker's paradise, as it is for bird-watchers, artists, photographers. It is a year-round playground for cyclists and those into more extreme physical activities such as surfing, hang-gliding, diving or rock climbing.

This part of the island is very. much a Spanish-speaking area, meaning that some knowledge of Spanish will come in useful. However, English, German and French are also widely understood and the locals are welcoming of visitors and keen to communicate with whatever language you have in common.

Mon séjour chez Alan et Tim a été fantastique ! J'ai rencontré des hôtes extrêmement sympathiques et attentionnés qui ont tout mis en oeuvre pour mon bien-être. J'ai communiqué très facilement avec eux et ils ont été très réactifs si j'avais une question. Nous avons également partagé des moments très chaleureux et intéressants. Finalement, je me suis sentie comme une amie en visite chez eux ! Les deux chats, Isi et Ferdi, sont vraiment adorables et faciles à vivre. Ils ont chacun leur tempérament mais sont tous deux très sociables et câlins. Quant aux poulettes, il a été plutôt simple de s'occuper d'elles et j'ai pu me régaler avec leurs bons oeufs quotidiennement. Le lieu où vivent Alan et Tim est charmant, calme et avec une météo idéale pour un été clément. Leur jardin offre de magnifiques végétaux à admirer et ce fut un plaisir d'en prendre soin également. Le logement mis à ma disposition s'est révélé parfait : confortable, bien équipé et calme, j'ai pu m'y ressourcer. A Lanzarote j'ai eu la possibilité de visiter des sites naturels et artistiques fabuleux ainsi que des endroits pittoresques que j'ai trouvés très dépaysants et agréables. Ce fut un coup de coeur ! Encore un immense merci, Tim et Alan, pour votre confiance et votre accueil si généreux et enthousiaste. C'est avec grand plaisir que je vous retrouverais !

Séjour parfait chez Tim et Alan. Le courant est très bien passé dès le premier échange en visio et a été confirmé à notre arrivée. Alan était retenu à l'étranger et nous avons été accueillis par Tim qui est venu nous chercher à l'aéroport et qui s'est plié en quatre pour que notre séjour se passe au mieux. Tim et Alan vivent dans un petit village paisible au nord de l'île et nous ont mis à disposition une dépendance et leur voiture électrique. Les chats Isi et Ferdi, sont des amours et cela a été un réel plaisir de nous en occuper tout comme des 6 poules qui nous ont donnés plusieurs oeufs par jour. Une très belle expérience qui nous permettra sans aucun doute de rester en contact avec nos deux hôtes. xxx
