Anfi Tauro Villa Carmela, Pool, Hot Tub, Private Garden -Uninterrupted Sea Views
This large, 3 bedroom villa is the most spectacular in the popular Anfi Tauro complex set in the quiet and idyllic Tauro valley. It is the closest villa to the sea with the best views, particularly the sunsets. Hop in the new hot tub and enjoy the amazing sunsets.
Imagine waking up to the sounds of tweeting birds as the sun rises over the golf course beside the villa. Take a dip in the private heated swimming pool then relax in the beautiful garden with uninterrupted views of the sea. When you are up for it, brew some coffee and have breakfast in the garden. Plenty of time for golfing or sunbathing later.
The unique beauty of Villa Carmela is it is the closest villa to the sea in the whole complex and is not overlooked so offers uninterrupted views and complete privacy.
The garden gets the sun almost for the entire day so if sun worship is your goal it is perfect. However, if you prefer the shade we have plenty of outdoor space that is covered and shady. You will find fantastic uninterrupted views over the Atlantic ocean and the 4th green of the golf course.
We provide free Wi-Fi internet access and we have a media box that provides all UK and Scandinavian TV channels.
There are large picture windows and full length sliding doors that afford exceptional sea and golf views from inside the property.
There is a stunning garden with a webber gas BBQ, a private heated pool and an outside shower....
Air-conditioning installed throughout villa including a "quiet" mode for sleeping. The whole villa has recently been upgraded and refurbished at substantial cost so it really is the best villa in Anfi Tauro.
In the master ensuite bathroom there is also a fantastic jacuzzi bath so you can really relax and get into holiday mode.
Highest quality comfortable bedding and mattresses so you can fully relax and enjoy a great nights sleep.
The complex also has 2 common swimming pools which guests have access to (one which is heated).
There is also a large Spar supermarket and a nice grill restaurant next door - Tauro Grill. They are well renowned for their BBQ's.
Anfi Tauro is the perfect place to kick back and relax with family and friends.
It is perfect for families and we can provide baby cot, high chair and push buggy for the kids :-)
We highly recommend renting a car for your stay as there is so much to explore on this fantastic island. It is so much more than a beach and sun destination and if you take a trip up the mountains you will have amazing views of the volcanic landscape. You can eat in cave restaurants and enjoy traditional Canarian cuisine away from the tourist traps. There is room for 2 cars to park right outside the front door.
But if you want to explore more then we can recommend Palmitos Park, Aqualand, Angry Birds Park, Sioux City and many other attractions. Afrikat is the best boat trip to go on and is a great day out. We provide loads of information to our guests about activities, restaurants and tours through our detailed information pack that we send to all guests.
As I am based in Gran Canaria I am happy to meet guests and give recommendations based on your preferences.

Villa was perfect . Plenty of room indoor and out for 7 of us. Great views from the garden. Hot tub a lovely touch. Good restaurant and Spar shop within 5 min walking distance. The villa was very clean and all amenities were as described. Villa a short taxi ride to Peurto Rico which has a good shopping centre and plenty of restaurants. A lovely place to stay.
The property was as described with all the facilities you could ask for.The hot tub and the heated pool was excellent.We would definitely recommend this villa for a holiday.Our host, Gerard, was superb, before, during and after our stay. Gerard's communication was excellent, where we received detailed information on the area, things to do, restaurants and villa facilities.
We had a great stay, the property was great for us, Ger was a great host, both prior to our stay and especially taking time to welcome us and show us around the villa. Jacuzzi was great, as were the hot showers and Uk TV channels.
Had a wonderful week at the villa , it was a real “home from home” we had everything we would need for a fabulous and relaxing break. The owner was very helpful and supportive and gave us lots of useful information about the area. Would definitely go back for another stay.
Our family of 6 adults just completed a holiday at Villa Carmela in Anfi Tauro in early January. It was a wonderful place to stay; truly ideal for us to enjoy a restful, yet activity-filled vacation. The villa is comfortable and spacious, so it is easy to find quiet time on an individual basis, while being designed so there are great gathering spaces too. The villa has a large kitchen with full-sized fridge/freezer, grill, and dishwasher so that dinners in are quite manageable. The location provides a quick walk to Tauro beach, which currently has no changing facilities, but that’s not a problem as it is easy to get back and forth to the villa. On a positive note, however, the beach is not crowded with shops and people so spreading out a towel for a session in the sun and surf is more private than on other beaches in the area.
Most importantly, Gerard was a wonderful host, as others have said. He was communicative from the very first and remained in touch as we finished our stay and headed home. He provided great, helpful information and made us feel very much at home in the villa. I highly recommend a stay on this lovely, diverse island in this convenient and comfortable location!
Villa Carmela is a great holiday home in a lovely location. Gerard was a joy to deal with throughout the booking process, met us on arrival and then helped with our departure. The villa is very spacious inside and out. It is very clean and has all the facilities you need for a relaxing holiday. The shop and restaurant on-site are great and very useful. Taxis are cheap and easy to get to go anywhere you need to. The villa captures the sun all day and the pool and hot-tub are great to cool down in. Would thoroughly recommend.
Villa Carmela is amazing. It’s in a superb location with uninterrupted views over the golf course and the sea. It is a spacious, stunning and immaculate property and very well equipped. There is a lovely heated pool, hot tub and a superb Weber barbecue. There is a fantastic dining area with sliding doors that brings the outside in.
Gerard was the perfect host and a very likeable guy and makes a great effort to ensure his guests have a great stay.
Would definitely recommend Villa Carmela and we will definitely be back.
El trato con Gerard es estupendo, el es familiar, servicial, cercano y está atento a todo detalle. La casa es enorme, tiene todas las comodidades y las vistas y la piscina y el jacuzzi son estupendos. La piscina es pequeña, no muy profunda, pero si vas con niños, es una garantía de seguridad, y cumple su papel refrescante. Bien comunicada y cerca, en coche, de zonas comerciales; pero aislada del ruido y en una zona privada y con vigilancia.
Volveremos, sin duda.
A lovely property with all we needed for a three generation holiday
The property is well maintained and equipped. For our family of grandparents, parents and two small boys, it was ideal. The small pool, with a great supply of pool toys, was just right for our four year old.
We loved Tauro beach, which is accessible on foot. The Bar Pio Pio there is good for drinks and a tapas lunch. With a short drive, we could reach other, more commercial beaches as well as good supermarkets. Palmitos Park is an excellent day trip.
Our only very minor complaint is about the house description. There was no mention in advance of the restrictions on the use of the hot tub - no children and no drinks! However, this is a small point, given the many advantages of the villa.
Great villa. Everything that you need for a great holiday is provided for. Answers from Ger to queries are handled timely and very well. Will be happy to go back!
Gerald was very helpful to circumvent the issues with the flight from Madrid to Gran Canaria.
Everything was according to our expectations.
Gerald was very helpful, when we needed to fill in the form required by the local Madrid goverment. He stayed always in close contact with us by phone, whatsApp or mail.
Had a fantastic time in the villa, beautiful and luxurious, in a stunning location. Great end to end service, from the information provided to the transfer to the meet and greet and ongoing availability. Would definitely recommend and return.
We had the best vacation in this amazing villa. It is fully equipped inside and out, nothing is missing. Everything is very clean and perfectly fine. The villa has a great view over the golf course and the sea. We appreciated the walking distance to the beach, to supermarket and to a few restaurants. The owner is very nice and helpful. We will for sure come back.

Tolle Villa
Tolle und gut ausgestattete Villa in sehr ruhiger Lage. Blick aufs Meer und der private Pool sind überragend.
Sehr schöner und noch ursprünglicher Strand in etwa 10 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Ein Auto ist allerdings absolut erforderlich.
Perfekt für Familien mit kleinen Kindern, Ruhesuchende und Golfer.

A fantastic villa
Villa Carmela provided us with a dream holiday. The location was perfect - quiet and giving lovely views over the golf course to the sea. The interior was spacious , spotless and furnished to a very high standard. The heated pool is surrounded by grass making it a very safe place for the elderly and the young - no slippery tiles. Tauro Grill - a five minute walk - serves excellent food with efficient and friendly staff. Amadores beach - a five minute drive offers a choice of Restaurants- Blue Beach being our favorite.
Having rented many villas through the years Villa Carmela was definitely the best . We look forward to returning.

Lovey, relaxing week in a great villla
We had a great week (family of 4) at Villa Carmela. It is the best villa in a super location on a wonderful golf course. Inside fantastic, spacious living areas, very comfy en-suite bedrooms and great TV/video on demand. Lots of nice touches around the property. Outside a good sized garden with plenty of room for 5 loungers, a fun warm pool, great views out to sea over the golf course, and sun from 10am to 7pm (February). You need a car. Recommend eating at the local Tauro Grill (friendly and good value). Also good fun at the nearby par 3 golf course. Communication with the owner and local help was fantastic. We are already talking about returning

Holiday Sept 2018
We spent two weeks in the middle of September at Villa Carmela and had a really enjoyable stay. The villa is really lovely, one of the best we have stayed in and there was everything needed to make it feel like home. The photos on the website are just as the villa is, not at all misleading. Ger was always on hand if there was a problem and Heather, the airport taxi lady, was most informative. Despite Ger's misgivings about getting a taxi to and from the villa, once the taxi company had picked us up the first time, we had no problem and now Villa Carmela is on their radar! Dead cheap too so we didn't bother to hire a car. The two local restaurants, Guatanamo and Tauro Bar and Grill are a ten minute walk across the golf course and are really good; portions very large, the Mexican Coffee is a must at Guatanamo. We met the two resident lizards along with several gekkos and luckily no mosquitoes. We divided our time between the villa and Amadores beach, which is wonderful. The pool is a bit teeny for swimming but big enough for three adults to cool off in. All in all we had a very enjoyable stay and will definitely consider returning. Only one complaint - the weather in the middle of our stay was TOO HOT - mid 30s!!!!

High quality and spacious villa, ideally located
Villa Carmela is almost certainly the best of various villas we have rented over the years. Ideally located at the end of a run of smart villas within the Anfi Tauro golf complex, it is totally private and has uninterrupted views across the course to the sea beyond. The rooms are all large and well furnished, the air-con units are both effective and quiet, and the whole villa is very well equipped indeed. Perhaps the garden pool is a little smaller than we're used to but then there's a much larger shared pool within 100m walk. It's just 5 mins drive both to a super new Mercadano supermarket and also to the excellent beach and restaurants at Amadores. The fast coast road makes exploring the whole island very easy and, whilst perhaps not as attractive overall as Lanzarote, we found some great sights to explore. Highly recommended.

About the host
Hosted by Gerard O'Reilly
I manage a number of my own properties in Gran Canaria and Thailand. But I am based in Gran Canaria most of the time these days. I have been doing this successfully for many years and take great time and care with my properties. I also am an excellent communicator and keep in touch with all my guests on a regular basis, before during and after their stay.
I get fantastic reviews because the properties are amazing and I add the personal touch to the whole process.
I also love to travel and I have been to so many amazing places but still haven't found a place that can rival Gran Canaria. The weather is perfect for the WHOLE year and there are so many interesting places to visit and explore. It's also the perfect destination for being healthy and getting outside to get some exercise and inhale clean air. Driving up the mountains is always a great day out and they have great history. Most of the towns have their own museum if you want to know more.
The beaches are fantastic but I do love heading up the mountains to an open air farmers market, sipping a "Cortado Largo" coffee and just listening to the sound of nature. Oh, and do not forget the amazing star show every night..... just look up......and happy enjoy.
Why they chose this property
It's located at the end of the row so in the best possible location. It offers fantasitc views of the sea and the golf course with complete privacy, Totally renovated to a very high spec it really is your home away from home.
What makes this property unique
Situated in the up-market and exclusive Anfi Tauro resort, we have recently renovated the villa as we will be spending more time there ourselves over the coming years.
Closest to the sea, it's the perfect place to watch the stunning sunsets as you gaze over the golf course to the local Tauro beach.
When we are not staying there, it's available to rent but we ask all our guests to treat the villa like your own home :-)
It is perfect for families and we can provide baby cot, high chair and push buggy for the kids :-)
