Fantastic villa
Posted Jul. 29, 2024 on HomeAwayThe villa has it all, easy booking and getting in. Quick responses from Micheal when needed. Only thing you need a hire car. Its out of the way with no real local shops but that said its quiet and the scenery is amazing. The whole family really did not want to leave

Great villa
Posted Aug. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayThe villa was very spacious and clean. It had everything we needed as a family with a 13 and 10 year old. We found the location perfect; peaceful at the villa and a short drive (15-20mins) to numerous beaches and restaurants. The kids enjoyed Puerto Rico beach mainly because they could jump off the small platforms. Mogan is really pretty and with a good beach. We found the nicest restaurants in Mogan. Definitely need a hire car (cicar is good).
Michael is really helpful and quick to respond to messages. Would happily recommend this villa and book again. Thank you Michael for a lovely holiday.

You are always welcome back.

Nice house in quiet village.
Posted Aug. 18, 2022 on HomeAwayThis house was great for us with our older son and his girlfriend holidaying with us. The bedroom and bathroom space allowed for us all to be separate when we wanted to be. The games room was great fun as was the pool. Be prepared for a 20 minute drive to get to the main motorway. This house is in a village in the Arguiniguin ravine so is surrounded by mountains. We went to the rustic, welcoming and good value restaurant at El Pinello at least 3 times. This is only a 5 min drive away. Lovely staff there!
The house was very clean overall, however the shower cubicles did need scrubbing down as there was orange body fat build up in places. The upstairs shower also has low pressure but we made do and coped ok.
The manager Michae, was very responsive when we had to contact him. When we arrived, expecting a welcome pack of basic items -as stated in the house notes- we arrived to an empty fridge. In our experience of staying in private villas, at the least, one bottle of water is provided on arrival. Michael did get in touch with the local contact who did bring a few basic staples later in on the day.
We also had to contact Michael because the pool filter wasn’t running. Again his local agent did come and sort this out. These were minor niggles and did not impact on our overall experience.
A lovely house in a Canarian village, with a small local shop, far away from the hustle bustle of tourist areas. You definitely need a car but if you don’t mind lots of driving you’ll have a great break in El Horno!

Holiday Home away from Home.
Posted Jun. 23, 2022 on HomeAwayGorgeous property. Photos don't do it justice. Everything you need and more. Very spacious with lots of rooms so great when everyone wants their own space (especially when you have teenagers) pool can only be described as a slightly warm bath. Couldn't get the rest of the family out to go sight seeing. Clean, well equipped and Michael was on stand by via email to answer any questions. Fantastic property would most definitely recommend.

Delightfully peaceful mountain retreat
Posted Jun. 3, 2022 on HomeAwayA lovely stay in villa Fortuna with our 4 year old son. The location is quiet and peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle, nestled in a valley with stunning 360 degree mountain views. The villa is well appointed, spacious and comfortable and the private pool a godsend.
A car is essential, in my opinion, as there is little in walking distance, but this just encouraged us to explore more of the island than we otherwise would have done.
The owner was excellent at responding to queries quickly and very flexible with our checkout time, which we appreciated.
A lovely, restorative stay.

Beautiful Villa in the mountains
Posted Feb. 20, 2021 on HomeAwayWe had a fantastic week at Villa Fortuna. The sun rose over the mountains as we ate breakfast. Spectacular.
The villa is huge and was perfect for the 6 of us.
We spent most of the daytime exploring but it was always nice to come home to the house and sit outside on the terrace and drink wine and relax.
I have only one criticism of the Villa and that it is in need of a little TLC in some areas. Possibly the owners have not been able to visit recently because of situation in the Canaries.
Overall we had a wonderful holiday.
Communication and contact with the owner was great and the information and welcome pack much appreciated.

Hello Sarah, thank you for your 5* review. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay at Villa Fortuna. Yes the sight of seeing the sun rise over the mountain each day is a delight.
You told me the Tiki bar had some mould on it. We replaced this in August 2019 but the recent rains caused this. A new treatment of varnish should help.
You also said some of the walls had grease stains on them. We regularly paint the walls and will keep doing so to maintain the look of the villa.
Thank you for your feedback and we welcome you to stay again.

Excellent
Posted Feb. 24, 2020 on HomeAwayStayed here in February with my family of 4 and two friends, the photos on the listing do not do the property justice. Plenty of room and very well equipped. The outside space was fine and we all enjoyed the pool which was warm even in February !
nice to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal resorts however these are easy to reach by car within 20 to 30 mins.
Very easy booking and Micheal the owner communicating throughout the process, I did not need to chase anything, Micheal even offered some help when we were grounded at the airport being closed due to the Calima.
Thank you Micheal, Excellent holiday at the Villa and was enjoyed by all and would have no hesitation in booking this villa again.

Fabulous holiday, superb house and excellent communication
Posted Dec. 1, 2019 on HomeAwayFirstly I must apologise for taking so long in leaving our review! We stayed here in March (2019 (I'm not *that* slow!)) but leaving a review has been on my list of "things to do" ever since... but better late than never as they say!
We stayed here with two adults and two kids and there was ample room for all of us without feeling cramped. The kids (and adults!) loved the pool and the games room.
Everything was clean, well kept, modern and very much up to standard seen on the photos on here. Parking on the street outside was an absolute breeze (you never know how busy somewhere might be for parking but trust me, you'll NOT have a problem getting parked!)
We literally only have two 'negative' things to say and they're really not big issues and one is certainly not within the owners control but as I always like to read reviews that are fair and written well, here goes:
1) The pool was a teeny tiny bit chilly come later afternoon/evening but that didn't stop us enjoying it - it WAS heated but we're all wimps and would have preferred it a smidge warmer(!)
2) That blooming cockeral that lives somewhere on the mountain side near-ish the house needs cooking up for Sunday dinner(!) (I'm a huge animal lover, I do say this in jest, but in all honesty, it did wake me up a few mornings - you can tell its a long way off and it's echoing between the hills and I certainly appreciate it isn't the property owners' fault or anything within their control but I did think I'd write about it in my review as it starts its morning wake up call as soon as the sun starts rising right through til 10am ish so if you're a fellow light sleeper (like myself and my daughter) you might well be woken up quite early
BUT, like I say, no detriment to the holiday because frankly, sitting outside waiting for the sun to appear over the mountain, while listening to the cockeral, with a cup of tea in your hands, in the lovely warm climate = bliss!
Would we go back? 100% definitely!
Highly recommended!
