A delightful, simple property offering everything we needed.
We stayed for ten days, having chosen Tayu because it was in the right part of the island and away from the busier centres. Renata welcomed us, but after that left us to enjoy the peace and privacy of the house and surroundings. Everything worked - plenty of hot water and a good range of kitchen equipment and furniture. We ate outside almost all of the time, with the clever design sheltering us from the wind which blew for the first day or two. The two friendly cats who came over to say hello every day were a bonus! We found that the house was well-placed for exploring the northern half of the island, with easy access to Corralejo and the dunes, and also to the villages and beaches on the west coast. We found that El Cotillo offered the best beaches - not too busy and with a choice of rolling waves and or sheltered lagoons. We particularly enjoy walking on our holidays, and tried a variety of walks both along the coast and around the volcanic landscape inland. Lobos was a highlight - we had the black sand beach below the Caldera entirely to ourselves whilst walking the circuit of the island, though the rocks underfoot suggested that the best swimming there would be at high tide. We tend to eat in, but did enjoy lunch at the Casa Maria in Betancuria and dinner at 722* at Lajares.
This was our first visit to Fuerteventura and we thoroughly enjoyed it, which was largely due to having such a lovely place to stay.
