As a relatively new villa owner in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote (Villa Jasmin - January 2007), I was determined to keep the standards of our villa high for holiday rental.
Before taking the plunge into villa ownership, my family and I had to do alot of to-ing and fro-ing, back and forth to Lanzarote whilst choosing the right area, the right villa and then signing paperwork and learning about the spanish laws etc. This meant that we stayed in many villas in and around Playa Blanca.
We were amazed to find such different standards in the villa rental market!
On a down side, some villas were in need of a good lick of paint, some had ice cold pools which claimed to be electrically heated but were obviously switched off to save electricity. Some were not very well equipped and some definately needed general TLC!
On an up side, this only made me more aware of what a guest would look for in a rented holiday home and therefore, what I was going to provide in Villa Jasmin.
I would say that in general, you get what you pay for, but I can honestly say that in our experience, this statement was just not true.
So, Villa owners in Lanzarote beware! The competition is getting stiffer and there are many new developments arriving on the island. I would definately advise all Lanzarote villa owners to make the best of their assets before they get left behind.
Villa Jasmin is available for holiday rental, visit www.villajasmin.co.uk for further info. Becky is the villa owner. |
