This was our first time using Air B&B for our stay in Majorca. The process of booking was straightforward and secure. Having had disappointing experiences with the large blue logo’d company cancelling reservations in error at short notice the personal touch from Margrit was appreciated.
What we hadn’t appreciated - although we did think from the photos that the place was good - was how outstanding a find this villa was. Situated with Margrit’s own grounds, we were in true Air B&B tradition right in the middle of somebody’s own house. However Margrit’s attention and hospitality were never intrusive and support was available through WhatsApp for any queries.
Directions were better than the navigation provided by google maps and we found the villa ready and waiting. The fridge was well stocked for our stay - thank you! - had we known how well we would have reserved the trip to the supermarket for after arrival. Margrit popped round shortly after to say hello.
The villa was a delight with some very tasteful touches. However the best bit was reserved for discovering the pool and grounds in daylight the following day.
The pool is of a splendid size for swimming and has an intriguing medieval looking tent at the far end which provided an ideal area for meditation and light reflection. Or whatever! The pool has its own toilet and shower supplied by a wee combi boiler - so endless hot water.
Margrit keeps horses and we were welcome to have a “nosey “ . Whilst no on site riding was available recommendations were made to a number of places at the nearby beaches . Margrit can fill you in on this.
Artà itself was a delight. Particularly when we discovered turning right at the roundabout avoiding the maze of one way streets that seemed to send you round in circles . The wee tapas bar in the square down from Sant Salvador was worthy of mention.
Good suggestions of other places to eat/visit/explore were provided on the information sheet provided. WiFi was available but we only got one bar with frequent drop outs but this one bar was available throughout the garden by some magic! Good 4G was available out with the stone walls of the villa
Our favourite days were spent by the pool with a good book. The atmosphere, the location the hospitality were magical and unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Simply a delightful find. Book and enjoy!
