This was our first experience with Airbnb, and what a fantastic experience it was! Myself, partner and two teenage boys usually stay in hotels and all inclusive. Giving the current conditions (COVID) we decided to try something different.
Fiona, Norm and lovely Lucy ( the boxer dog) were the perfect hosts. They’ve certainly set the standard high for all future hosts! From the initial booking up to when we sadly waved them goodbye we couldn’t of wished for more. Communication was A* . When we arrived the fridge was stocked with the basic essentials, bread, butter, water, juice, cava (there was more but can’t remember everything!) There was tea, coffee and a few snacks for the boys to get stuck into.
The villa itself was beautiful and very spacious. It provided everything we needed. Had all the amenities and more! Lots of different zones/arrears to chill, sun bathe or play cards!
Norm provided us with a list of recommendations for local restaurants and activities which was much appreciated. It was our sons’s 13th birthday while we were there, Fiona and Norm very kindly gave me recommendations for a local bakery where I could order Ensaymada for a birthday cake.
Palma Nova beach is approximately 5 minutes walk away from the villa. The location is close enough to walk to beach, bars, restaurants but far enough away to appreciate the quietness of the area.
All in all we had a fantastic holiday. We would of loved to have stayed longer in Fiona and Norms beautiful villa, getting to know them a little better sitting around the pool while eating a locally made paella and drinking a glass of wine or two!
Thank you Fiona, Norm and Lucy. We hope to see you again soon. Xx
