Casa Quevedo

The villa

Nestled in a quiet, residential street in the beautiful southern area of Sonnenland Gran Canaria, Casa Quevedo is a stunning four - bedroom villa distributed over various levels that accommodates up to eight guests in style and comfort. Visually breathtaking both inside and out, the villa’s bright and sunny personality is apparent from the offset, with its eye catching exterior walls and classic white shutter, intricately tiled steps and well - maintained private garden. The interior is spacious, light and airy, featuring a neutral decor in shades of white and cream, with accents of chic grey and scarlet offering exciting pops of colour. The living area is modern in style - the perfect place to relax and unwind, with comfy sofas and armchairs, classic wooden furniture, and a flat - screen satellite TV for your entertainment.

Casa Quevedo’s kitchen/diner is equally stylish, with a country - cottage style vibe that includes tiled flooring, rich wooden units and cream countertops. There’s also a classic wooden dining table with enough room for eight guests. In the kitchen, you’ll find everything you need to prepare family meals during your stay, including a ceramic hob and oven, fridge - freezer, coffee machine, and toaster, as well as all of the utensils, crockery and glassware you’ll need during your stay. There’s also a handy utility space with a washing machine and dryer - meaning you can pack light and leave plenty of room in your cases to bring home all of those souvenirs!

The villa features four double bedrooms. Large, comfortable beds promise guests a restful night, and there’s plenty of wardrobe space for added convenience. Balcony access means that guests can enjoy the townscape views over the prettily coloured houses and out towards the sea - it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cuppa as you take in your wonderful surroundings. Casa Quevedo also benefits from having three bathrooms - one of which is ensuite to the master bedroom - and all of which are modern.

The garden area is private and secure, and despite having neighbours, you’ll never feel too overlooked. There is a covered outdoor area accessible from the living area, as well as an outdoor dining space and barbecue area for alfresco meals the whole family will enjoy. After a hearty feed, why not make your way to the Casa Quevedo’s private pool area to recline on a lounger with an after - dinner drink or a good book while the kids play. The villa’s pool is accessible by Roman steps, making getting in and out nice and easy for the kids, and although there’s no fence or safety barrier of any kind around the water, well - supervised children will love having somewhere to cool off after a busy day in the sunshine.

Sonnenland is a charming and pretty town located on the south of the island and has a name that literally translates as ‘the land of the sun'. Set on a hillside above the popular high - end resorts of Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles, Sonnenland is one of the quieter areas of the island, with a very relaxed, laid - back and less ‘touristy’ vibe than some parts of Gran Canaria. Located in the suburbs and further inland, Sonnenland has no beach of its own, but the beach resort of Maspalomas and all it has to offer in the way of sea, sand, shops and attractions is just a short drive away - or a 40 - minute stroll if you are feeling energetic!

If you want to stay in the area and simply enjoy the peace and tranquillity, you’ll find plenty of cafes and shops to explore. The bars and restaurants here are, for the most part, traditionally Canarian and serve both food and drink until late in the evening. However, if you want English food, you may struggle; basic choices are available in some establishments, but if British food is your preferred cuisine, you might have to travel a little further afield.

The good news is that the nearby high - end resorts of Maspalomas and Meloneras are bursting with fantastic seafront restaurants offering fantastic views and even better food! If seafood is a particular favourite, you’re in for a treat, but you won’t struggle to find other types of cuisine here, either! The region has a wide range of delicious cuisine on offer such as pulpo and prawns, grilled calamari, paella, steaks, tapas, burgers and pasta dishes - as well as plenty of bars where you can enjoy cocktails and pre - dinner drinks.

There are some fantastic outdoor markets to visit in the area, both during the week and on Saturdays, with stalls selling everything from clothing to fresh produce. You’ll find a wide array of aloe vera products on sale here, as the plant is native to Gran Canaria, so be sure to grab some locally - sourced skincare during your visit! If you’re looking for a higher - end shopping experience, head to Boulevard Faro, where you’ll find well - known labels like La Perla, Burberry and Tommy Hilfiger, and, if you walk a little further along the seafront, you’ll come to the Bellavista Shopping Centre and El Varadero Shopping Centre, as well as even more cafes, bars and restaurants that offer a welcome break when you can’t carry any more bags!
