Popi's place is a very beautiful family villa located near to Palma near the village of Esporles. During our stay we were three adult siblings with partners, as well as Mum, Dad and little one - all very comfortable. The terrace is huge - large enough to accommodate a breakfast and dinner table as well as a key piece of equipment to integrate into Mallorcan life - an outdoor double siesta bed.

There is a lovely little pool where I spent most of my time floating around on a lilo, a gently undulating garden dotted with almond trees (great for frisbee) and a big barbecue to cook the squid, octopus, prawns, chorizo and steaks you can buy from the market in Palma.

It feels quite remote, which I feel is one of its charms. There is a cafe within 10 minutes walk, and a bar a little distance further; or hop on the local bus which comes past on the main road every 15 mins (or your rental car) and the island is open to you. I particularly liked the beaches of Deia (rocky, restaurant + bar overlooking sea, great swimming) and Falco (sandy, small, sweet)

One thing that seemed to affect some but not all of us, was that their was the odd mosquito at night time. I only mention this, to remind people who are staying that it would be worth bringing along some spray along, especially if they are prone to biting.

All in all a great stay.
