TL;DR: Cannot recommend enough. Now I realise that every 5-stars reviews I left for other places in the past, were actually never more than a 4. Or maybe this house is a 6. Just go already!

Frank's house threw us back to the original Airbnb experience, the one where you get to live a different life for some days. This life has a hint of nostalgia from my Mediterranean carefree childhood and takes place in Galilea, a lovely tiny village in the mountains of Mallorca. There the fresh air carries warm notes of lavender and rosmarin plants that sit all day under the sun, the peaceful symphony of wildlife (a baritone goat, the buzz of bees at work, the steady rattle from the cicadas) and, every 60 minutes, the distant church bell chiming the time passing by, as if it tried to remind you that the whole thing is not just a dream. The house, with a sensually immersive 70s vibe and of an ascectic, almost monasterial, simplicity feels cozy and pleasant and sincere and welcoming. For decades it has been tastefully and thoughfully renovated, filled with beloved memories and literally all the things you may need during your stay. Every corner invites you to hang out and simply, simply savor every moment: the outside blue-tiled table, protected by the roof, next to a well whose decoration emits a light fairylike tinkle; the typical green painted window shutters that, when pushed open in the upstairs bedroom, offer a beautiful view of the village, inspiring both during the day and the night; the string of lights leading to a perfectly sized and furnished shooting pool space. The joyful and gorgeous Danish neighbour, Bettina, will help you out with arrival and other what nots (I could write another whole review just about her, to be fair). You may also meet other residents like Elmo, the cat - a real drama queen that naps around and demands attention. The place is a feast for the senses. I will be daydreaming about it until my next visit.
PS: Do not let the narrow 45º (alright, maybe 44º) steep uphill roads make you pass on this gem. Just get an automatic car - saved us tears and sweat.
