Exactly what we sought for family with 3 teenage kids: great location (inside a less touristy village, walking to shops and restaurants), small pool and nice private courtyard on premise, and short drive to good beaches, or more crowded “city/touristy” areas (where access to bigger grocery stores, etc).
On top of this Francois our host was super: responded quickly and very helpful.
Things we most recommend:
- restaurants in village: La Fragua and Kinkadia were our favorite restaurants; local bakery opens early and is great.
- castle short 10 min walk from house - great to do at sunrise.
- Cala Agulla is closest nearby but more crowded.
- Best remote beaches with few people (require 20 min hike after parking): Cala Mitjana and Torta (25 min beautiful drive); and Cala Varques (further south).
- Good things to do with kids during heat of day: Rafa Nadal Museum in Manacor; Drac Caves (about 30 min drives away)
- Pollenca village an hour away and was our favorite.
- of course Palma worth seeing.
