Lovely peaceful secluded villa.

Really enjoyed our weeks stay. The villa has a rustic feel, but also very modern facilities. The pool is large enough to actually swim, though it was cold when first entering. We spent probably all the time on the sunlounges around the pool or sat in the covered outdoor area. Though we didn't use them, there are a number of heaters in the various areas as I guess being in the mountains it could get cold outside of the summer months. If you have good footwear, you can walk into Santa Brigida in around 20-25 minutes, but the climb to / from, the town is on a steep rocky path so not ideal for carrying shopping so a car is probably essential and not too large a car as the drive is a bit narrow and there is not a great deal of turning space inside the villa grounds. The directions provided were easy to follow and the drive was probably only around 25 minutes from the airport. I'm guessing their must be a micro-climate on Gran Canaria as the skies around the villa always had clouds, but when we ventured to Puerto Rico / Mogan (less than 1 hours drive) in the south of the Island it was cloudless.

Beautiful and tranquil stay

Perfect place to have access to trails. Transport is essential and suggest a small car as the roads are very narrow and lots of bends. We loved the villa and it’s very well equipped with a great wee pool for your aching legs after trail walking.

Fantastic House

We absolutely loved this house. The pool and garden are amazing and the outdoor space overall is just lovely. It´s in a quiet and beautiful area. The pool is deep and cold and we loved it. The house is very well equipped, we weren´t short of anything. The burner in the kitchen/living room makes the room very cosy when it´s a chilly evening. Would definitely recommend this house and would love to visit again in the future.

A very special place

The villa was perfect for me and my sister as we each had our own bedroom and bathroom; separate but easy. It's very private and not overlooked which is also important. Beds are supremely comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped with high end dishwasher/washing machine et al. Important to come equipped with food as a lot of restaurants were closed when we arrived, even in the early evening. A car is essential.

Lovely view from villa

This property is so lovely and could be really peaceful if it wasn't for dogs barking in the distance. One you drive up a very steep entrance, the garden and surrounding views are stunning, plus the pool is huge, and as nice as it looked, the water was unbelievably cold, therefor totally unable to use during our four night break. We did go in December, however, at 29c recorded, I thought the pool would have been at least bearable.. And unfortuately, it's not heated.Helena the owner was very nice, also very helpful. This villa would have been almost perfect if the pool had been heated. Also, as it gets really quite chilly at night, it would be far nicer sitting at the lovely bar area if there were a couple of external wall heaters. All in all a lovely break away, however some finishing touches to the villa would make all the difference.

Stunning setting

Just wanted to say what a lovely time we had at your property. It was so well equipped with everything that we needed! The bed was the comfiest I have ever slept in and the shower and bath were lovely. Outside we had a great time in the bar area. The setting and views were lovely. The only thing that we would have hoped for was a warm pool, it was looked great but i only made it in once for a couple of seconds as it was so cold. Thanks again for having us!

Fantastic House & Location

We stayed at the Casa Gecko for 1 week and we were not disappointed. The house was even nicer than what we had seen from the photos. Spacious, clean & very well presented. Casa Gecko had everything that we could possibly need and served us well during our visit. We were greeted by Helena and were made to feel at home from the start. This was our first visit to the Gran Canaria and hopefully will not be our last and if we return we will definitely be wanting to stay at the Casa Gecko again. Thank you Matthias & Helena for your hospitality and sharing Casa Gecko with us. We hope to return again in the near future!

Wunderschön, Top ausgestattet, urgemütlich.

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit über Weihnachten und Silvester. Das Haus und Grundstück sind sehr schön und großzügig. Alles war reichlich vorhanden (Handtücher, Toilettenpapier, Grillkohle, Pellets für die Holzheizung, u.v.m.). Ein paar Kleinigkeiten müssten mal repariert werden und die "Lebensgeräusche (lautes Knacken)" die das Holz des Hauses Nachts von sich gibt sind ein klein wenig gewöhnungsbedürftig. Direkt am Haus führt eine tagsüber regelmäßig befahrene Strasse vorbei, die man aber im Schlafzimmer auch bei offenem Fenster kaum hört und nachts war es immer sehr ruhig.Wir hatten super Wetter und konnten nach dem Wandern nachmittags noch bei 25 in der Sonne am Pool liegen und haben Abends wenns dunkel wird, drinnen gemütlich den Pellet Ofen angeworfen.Alles in Allem auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert.

Fantastisch verblijf

Wij hebben heerlijk genoten van de fijne case met mooie tuin en het fantastische zwembad. Let op wel de afstapjes bij de binnen en buitendeuren. De casa is voorzien van uitgebreide voorzieningen en benodigdheden. Het terras met buitenverlichting is voorzien van een eettafel met kuipstoelen, grootte parasol, ligbedden en gemakkelijke zitstoelen. Een leuke overdekte bar met verlichting en barkrukken. Wij zijn tijdens ons verblijf van 12 dagen veel op deze schitterende locatie gebleven. Kortom een echte aanrader.

Wunderbares Ferienhaus

Wir waren im Juli für fünf Tage in der Casa Gecko. Alles war perfekt, für drei Personen hatten wir gut Platz mit dem Poolhaus für unsere Tochter. Das Haus ist super sauber, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht, genau wie auf den Fotos. Der Check-In mit Schlüsselsafe klappt reibungslos. Trotz der Straße unter dem Haus ist es nachts ruhig. Der Pool ist wirklich groß und gut zum Schwimmen, das Grundstück schön angelegt. Im Ort kann man leicht einkaufen, ca. 10 Minuten Fahrt. Restaurants waren eher schwieriger zu finden, dafür ist man aber abseits von allem Touristenrummel. Wanderungen gibt es im Umkreis etliche schöne, in herrlicher Natur. Alles in allem können wir das Haus wirklich empfehlen!

Endspannung und Ruhe

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus ist schön eingerichtet. Der Pool ist echt riesig und man kann richtig gut darin schwimmen. In der Küche ist alles reichlich vorhanden was man benötigt. Ein und auschecken ist auch sehr einfach. Von der Straße kommt nicht sehr viel Lärm an. Den Spiegel an der ausfahrt könnte man einmal erneuern ( hat aber nichts mit dem Anwesen tun) Wir würden es wieder mieten.
