The kitchen, living and dining area occupy one large, open plan space, with L-shaped sofas in butter-soft leather and a sizable tv that receives English channels so there’s no need to miss out on your favourite programmes during your stay. The galley-style kitchen is the essence of urban chic with handleless cabinets in white and graphite grey, state-of-the-art cooking appliances and a superb polished timber breakfast bar for sociable cooking and dining.

Floor to ceiling glass doors run across the width of the room, sliding back to open onto the poolside terrace where frameless glass balustrading ensures the panoramic sea view remains virtually uninterrupted from all angles. The generously proportioned pool, heated free of charge in the winter months, is of course a key asset during the day and a glittering jewel when lit up at night. Sun loungers and parasols are provided for lazy days in the sun, while a table tennis table is thoughtfully housed in an open-sided room next to the pool so you can play to your heart’s content without the sun affecting your game. The wonderful hot tub, positioned just outside the lounge doors, is the ultimate indulgence, particularly after nightfall when you can marvel at the starlit sky as it works its soothing magic.

A flight of steps leads down to a sheltered area of decking where a gas barbecue and dining suite are provided so you can sip a cold beverage while grilling a few steaks on a balmy evening.

The master bedroom is the epitome of elegant simplicity, with a king size bed, smart fitted wardrobes and an exquisitely tiled en suite shower room with twin wash basins. Three further bedrooms, two with en suites and the other with a separate shower room, are equally well presented, all with sliding glass doors leading onto the outside terrace and with the sea always in view.

From Villa Causel’s quiet cul de sac, it’s an easy walk into the old harbour area of Puerto del Carmen with its abundance of seafood restaurants, bars and boutiques. Long sandy beaches are also just a few minutes’ drive away with plenty of watersports options including snorkelling and scuba diving, made all the more appealing by the marine park just off the coast where a number of sunken wrecks have become home to a wealth of marine life. Whether you’re looking for vibrant nightlife, cosy eateries or family-friendly activities, all are within easy reach of this excellent villa, making it a perfect fit for those seeking convenience and luxury with a certain wow factor.
