When we arrived, we were greeted with a spotless interior, excellent indoor space and a flawless outdoor area - including the spacious patio and pool. In other words, any niggling doubts evaporated straight away. This is one villa that really does live up to the reviews.

For us, the location was perfect: stunning views over the bay (the clue's in the name...), with lots of peace and quiet. The owners are very fair in stating that a car is advised. It's perhaps a 45 minute walk into town - but only a five minute drive. If you don't hire a car, taxis are relatively inexpensive.

Although the weather was flawless, we decided to pack in lots of activities. Make sure to book a tour with 'Moving Segway Lanzarote' down in the Los Colorados shopping centre - a real highlight. We also visited the Timanfaya National Park, and the two caves in the North East of the Island - ask for a multi-attraction ticket when you pay.

One other tip: we had a very special meal at La Cocina de Colacho - it's only open on Mondays and Wednesdays. However, you absolutely have to book in advance... on the night we ate, they had to turn quite a few people away. An expensive but very worthwhile treat.

Very comfy, fab views and would recommend a car to explore what Lanzarote has to offer. The villa is situated in a very quite and peaceful area, and would definitely book this villa again if we were to return to Lanzarote. Had a great family holiday.

Our party of 6 has just returned from a 16 night stay at Bay View. This was our third stay in Playa Blanca so we were already fans of the resort, but the facilities and setting of the villa were something else. Everything was as described with comfortable en suite bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen and lounge. We spent a lot of time in the terrace and pool area, enjoying the spectacular views and relaxing in our favourite spots to catch the rays, cool down in the shade or settle down with a book.
The pool was clean, inviting and refreshing and we used it every day. The outside dining area was also a favourite spot where we tended to gather and eat when not dining out in the town. As mentioned by other reviewers, the location is perfect, with great views over the town and east towards Femes. We would certainly recommend hiring a car, both for the five minute drive into town and to sample the sites and tastes of the rest of the island.
All in all, Bay View was a fantastic base for our holiday and I can't imagine anyone not feeling relaxed as soon they arrive and both rejuvenated and sad when its time to leave.

We stayed in Bay View for the second time in November 2012, and it was as wonderful a trip as our previous visit. One simply cannot ask for more from this truly lovely villa. Everything is top standard, and for a real taste of luxury we wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone and everyone. The hosts have thought of everything, from a top-notch sound system throughout the villa right down to the very comfortable and rather elegant sun loungers. It's a perfect place for a relaxing break, whether you're a couple on your own (like us) or a larger party - there's plenty of bedroom space, the kitchen is large and very well-equipped, and the barbecue is big enough to feed a small army (with plenty of local places to buy some fantastic meat - Ropers is definitely recommended). And that's just when you're not eating out at Volcan or any of the other excellent restaurants and bars down by the sea.
Can't wait to go back, have booked already!

Stayed in Bay View last year and it was stunning. Returned this year and remain very impressed with this quality villa. I know that the heat and wind in Playa Blanca quickly takes its toll on the outside of villas, but it remains clear that the owners treat this as a home with pride rather than just a holiday rental.

It was prepared and maintained superbly by the management company who were extremely helpful - exchanging items in the welcome pack and even arranging for us to have the use of another villa on our last day. We still love the peaceful location with stunning views, the superb master suite and the extras - like sound system in all the rooms, quality pool furnishings etc.

As was the case last year, we simply cannot fault Bay View and it has become our no.1 choice - love it, love it, love it!

We recently spent a lovely week at Bay View Villa with family and friends and our five month old baby.

It was a chilled out week in a quiet part of town, up in Los Altos, with a fantastic heated pool and a terrace with a Canarian barbecue we used every evening. It's only a quick drive (or a good walk) to a number of nice nearby beaches. Likewise for shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants.

Allie and Paul were very helpful whenever we had any questions.
