We stayed at the Caleta Dorada and soon found that the Montecastillo Centre provided everything that a young family could want on a Canarian Holiday - A variety of restaurants and bars within walking distance - all under one roof. The beach was minutes away and the views were Fantastic. Every evening we walked past the "VIP Villas" They looked amazing - They had their own pool... They had a cellar with a pool table... Some had 3 bedrooms... THEY LOOKED WAY OUT OF OUR PRICE RANGE!!!&lt;br /&gt;The following year we booked a VIP villa (Mafasca). It was everything we could have hoped for. But it WAS a bit dated and it WASNT cheap - and the pool was flippin FREEZIN!!!. Since 2006 I had always kept my eye on Villa number 18 (Graciosa) In my opinion - It was the best of the VIP Villas (Therefore the Best of the Best) When I walked past the Villas I used to peep in with envy but concluded that I wouldn’t want to sunbathe with people (like me) looking in. &lt;br /&gt;Villa Graciosa was one of very few Villas that offered total Privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAYQnd3gUI/AAAAAAAAAOU/gyJO3xF6mXg/s1600-h/DSC01344.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAYQnd3gUI/AAAAAAAAAOU/gyJO3xF6mXg/s400/DSC01344.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345799431440007490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we found out that it was the only VIP villa with a heated pool - we were hooked!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As regular visitors to Fuerteventura, This Villa ticked all boxes except for two????? FOR NOW!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was in the perfect position (no need for taxis to and from Restaurants and bars)&lt;br /&gt;It was huge&lt;br /&gt;Loads of Bedrooms (Three plus a basement including sofabeds - not needed by us - but a bonus for many)&lt;br /&gt;HEATED POOL!!! believe me - Even in high season - if it isnt heated, Its Freezing!!! The heated pools are a total pleasure and a luxury worth having.&lt;br /&gt;Total Privacy coupled with amazing views (something that doesnt normally go together)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAbyT-dY0I/AAAAAAAAAOc/tgn8ruQBjXs/s1600-h/2008_02110008a.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAbyT-dY0I/AAAAAAAAAOc/tgn8ruQBjXs/s400/2008_02110008a.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345803308858434370" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were two boxes left unticked.......................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last VIP Villa that we stayed in was quite dated.....&lt;br /&gt;NO PROBLEM THERE...&lt;br /&gt;Villa Graciosa has undergone a no expense spared refurbishment bringing it right up to date!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAdp6RmQVI/AAAAAAAAAOk/YoUhH7EeWvU/s1600-h/image5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 244px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAdp6RmQVI/AAAAAAAAAOk/YoUhH7EeWvU/s400/image5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345805363543687506" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAd1-m4RlI/AAAAAAAAAOs/3FURm_Bh3KM/s1600-h/image6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 241px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAd1-m4RlI/AAAAAAAAAOs/3FURm_Bh3KM/s400/image6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345805570865120850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAeFoLjxLI/AAAAAAAAAO0/rYHTOqFCnIA/s1600-h/image9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 255px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAeFoLjxLI/AAAAAAAAAO0/rYHTOqFCnIA/s400/image9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345805839722857650" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAePpLoe5I/AAAAAAAAAO8/cfAibSwe7q8/s1600-h/image13.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 246px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAePpLoe5I/AAAAAAAAAO8/cfAibSwe7q8/s400/image13.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345806011790293906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(ANOTHER BOX TICKED!!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One final Box - The Price... I can honestly say that the price of this Villa is a bargain.&lt;br /&gt;If you are a couple, maybe its not for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dont forget you are renting a Villa. &lt;strong&gt;Its not a price per person.&lt;/strong&gt; I would never have dreamed I could get such Luxury at such a reasonable price. There can even be discounts for booking two weeks if you ask nicely&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(ALL BOXES TICKED !!!!!!!!!!!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To book the Villa Graciosa - Click &lt;a href="http://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/canaries/C1625.htm"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAkB3owc9I/AAAAAAAAAPU/duLFW0j40dU/s1600-h/DSC01478.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAkB3owc9I/AAAAAAAAAPU/duLFW0j40dU/s400/DSC01478.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345812372222145490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAkozfXBHI/AAAAAAAAAPc/zsbuSCYK7gI/s1600-h/DSC01342.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAkozfXBHI/AAAAAAAAAPc/zsbuSCYK7gI/s400/DSC01342.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345813041123886194" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;embed src="http://widget-71.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&amp;amp;il=1&amp;amp;channel=432345564274777969&amp;amp;site=widget-71.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&amp;amp;at=un&amp;amp;id=432345564274777969&amp;amp;map=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-71.slide.com/p1/432345564274777969/bb_t016_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&amp;amp;at=un&amp;amp;id=432345564274777969&amp;amp;map=2" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-71.slide.com/p2/432345564274777969/bb_t016_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&amp;at=un&amp;id=432345564274777969&amp;map=F" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-71.slide.com/p4/432345564274777969/bb_t016_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6559488621001573683-1125347012048688140?l=villagraciosa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://villagraciosa.blogspot.com/feeds/1125347012048688140/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://villagraciosa.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-first-stayed-in-caleta-de-fuste-with_10.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6559488621001573683/posts/default/1125347012048688140'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6559488621001573683/posts/default/1125347012048688140'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://villagraciosa.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-first-stayed-in-caleta-de-fuste-with_10.html' title=''/><author><name>UK_Greg</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F3-jI_IfPzg/SjAYQnd3gUI/AAAAAAAAAOU/gyJO3xF6mXg/s72-c/DSC01344.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
