Just come back from a blissful week in this sweet villa. It’s in a superb location as sits very nicely between Old Pollensa Town, Puerto Pollensa & Cala San Vincente - Formentor isn’t too far to drive either. We’ve been to the area many many times over the last 22 years (lost count!) So know the area very well. A car is essential for this villa we feel as we could only see one restaurant within walking distance and shops are a short drive too.
We usually stay on the Pine Walk in Puerto Pollensa near to hotel Ill’ador - so in comparison we found this villa very good value due to it sleeping 8 with its own private pool. We missed the sea outlook a little bit, but the surrounding mountain views are very nice and the privacy and pool use made a nice change too.
The villa was very clean on arrival but is very basic so don’t expect decor to be anything extravagant. It had plenty of room for our party of 8 (adults) but is not plush with posh bed linen or accessories or furniture but it was all practical and the beds were comfortable.
There is Air Con in all bedrooms but none in the kitchen/lounge area.
Being in such a rural area we did have a few issues with ants and mosquitoes but as expected and not enough of a problem to spoil our fun. Just bring plenty of Mosquitos spray and you will be fine.
The kitchen could be a little better if there were a few extra cupboards to store food, and a few extra bowls for serving salad and pasta on the table - minor issues and I have let Juan know these may be a good idea for future guests.
Juan dealt with any of our enquires very quickly so a few issues on day one (only 6 sunbeds when we needed 8) were sorted out quickly and we were able to enjoy our holiday to the full. Juan also very kindly allowed us to stay until 3pm on our travel day home, which was fantastic and appreciated due to our evening flight times.
All in all the villa served us very well, we had lots of fun, it’s a great base and we would return.
If you arrive in the middle of the night.. the drive does look a little narrow,pot holey and a bit wild(!) but keep driving and you will eventually reach the villa! The wild flowers along the drive have just been trimmed down so all looks a little neater and more inviting.
Enjoy your trip and do go exploring, Pollensa area has some very lovely beaches and beauty spots and a visit to Old Pollensa Town to climb the 365 steps up to the church is essential! The view is incredible :)
