Through the living room doors, you’ll step out onto the wrap-around veranda, featuring a shaded and comfortable al fresco dining area – and offering additional shade on the other side if you prefer to keep cool on your sun lounger.

I recommend!, Wladyslaw, February 2024\ "A great place for a group of friends or families. Good location, access to the pool, quiet neighborhood, parking space, grill, spacious rooms and kitchen. I recommend!"
The Villa was really private and comfortable and the pool was gorgeous, Paula, January 2024\ "We had a fabulous stay at Villa Maria in Playa Blanca. The Villa was really private and comfortable and the pool was gorgeous. It was perfectly clean and so warm. So much outdoor space for the two of us but we loved it and walked along the front, close to the sea every day, about 20 minutes walk from the villa. We ate in and out and nothing was missing when cooking a meal, everything you needed, even a dishwasher. A perfect stay and we will definitely be back."
Perfect location to just chill and relax, Saima, December 2023\ "My kids and I had a wonderful stay! The villa was very private, clean and homely. The beach was a short walk away and so were other hidden beaches. Perfect location to just chill and relax."
Villa Maria was excellent, Simon, July 2023\ "Fantastic trip with Optima. Villa Maria was excellent with lovely pool/outside area. Optima team were really efficient with any queries and cannot wait for the next trip."
Can’t recommend enough, Clare, October 2022\ “The 2nd time I have used Optima Villas and from booking to leaving they are fantastic! Both villas I stayed in (Maria and Ruby) were brilliant! Can’t recommend enough.“
The service given at the villa is great, Margaret, August 2022\ “I have booked villas managed by Optima many times and found them to be a very helpful friendly company. I had some personal problems re the timing of a booking I had made but they managed to transfer the booking for me. The service given at the villa is great, cleaning etc.and any issues are dealt with promptly.“
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Posted to Airbnb, April 2019\ “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Maria. The villa was as presented in the photographs. There were plenty of towels provided and the place was spotlessly clean. The pool area was quiet and ideal for a relaxing holiday. The kitchen facilities were ideal. This spacious villa was very comfortable for 4 adults. I contacted Optima Villas on one occasion and there was a very prompt response. The villa is located within a 20 minute walk of the town and a 30 minute walk of Marina Rubicon. I would recommend this Villa to a friend.”
Quiet & peaceful location, Posted to Tripadvisor, October 2018\ “What a great holiday. Quiet peaceful location, Villa Maria is well kept & very clean, all the little things made our holiday special, book swaps, dvd library, wifi, sky movies, fantastic pool, absolutely loved it. ”
Everything was perfect, Mary, September 2018\ “Firstly let me thank you for your swift replies to our enquiries before departure and upon arrival at the villa. We loved our stay at Villa Maria everything was perfect and was in working order. The villa was really homely and what set it apart from other villas was the wonderful outside area, there was so much space. Glad we opted for pool heating, it meant we could use the pool daily even on the cooler days. Welcome pack was useful as we arrived late and shops were closed and my only suggestion would be for a larger bottle of water to be included. As to the location of the Villa, if you are young and fit you could take a long walk into town and the beach, but it was just a little too far to walk for the OAP in our group and we needed to use the car daily. We would definitely book through Optima Villas again and happily book Villa Maria. ”
Outside space was wonderful and private, Michael and Julie, July 2018\ “Myself and my wife Julie stayed in villa Maria on the island of Lanzarote in Playa Blanca, The villa itself was great, and the pool area and outside space was wonderful and private, The villa was within walking distance of bars and restaurants, and don’t worry, all the walking is on flat areas, no hills or inclines. Ana the Optima Villas representative was absolutely superb, well mannered, polite and very helpful, she was a pleasure to meet and helped me out with a minor problem I had, but nothing was to much trouble for her, I would definitely visit the island again and maybe try a different villa next time. The weather was a bit strange when we were there in early June but even the locals couldn’t understand why it was a bit inconsistent. Never mind, you cant have everything after all. But I am glad I tried the island for the first time and would go back. Adios for now, see you soon. Regards Michael and Julie from Birkenhead. ”
Very good position, Karen, April 2018\ “We had a lovely, relaxing holiday thank you and will definitely be coming back to Playa Blanca again soon. The villa was spotless and comfortable. It is in a very good position to walk into the town in the evenings. ”
Look forward to going again. October 2017\ “Within walking distance of marina Rubicon (10mins) also close to a small supermarket. A quiet area and the sun shone on the pool all day. The rooms were a good size, and the villa was clean and tidy. look forward to going again. ”
