Communication with Joan was great before and during our stay. He was a very helpful and flexible host, letting us in a bit earlier upon arrival and sending his dad over when we locked ourselves out of the house. The listing description is very accurate. The house is very charming with very modern bathrooms and a great master bedroom, and at the same time preserving the lovely traditional details like the stone walls, floors and stairs, wooden beams – very tastefully done. And the house was very clean. All the amenities were in top condition – the pool, a great kitchen with a large refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine. We were particularly grateful for the air conditioning on both floors for the hotter days. The garden is beautiful with several orange and lemon trees and flowers. Our kids aged 10 and 7 loved playing there and used the pool every single day.
We absolutely loved the neighborhood! The town is very small with relatively few tourists - perfect for a relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of the larger tourist areas directly at the beach. It is a very quaint and sleepy town for those looking for an authentic experience with the locals - and probably not for those looking to party or to shop. A bakery, a supermarket and butcher were all 2-3 minutes walk from the house – so it was very convenient especially when travelling with children. Smaller restaurants and cafes are also a few minutes walk from the house. The neighbors and people around town were all very nice and as we discovered when we got locked out, all very helpful! You do need a car though in order to get around and to the beach. But the location is quite central and quite close to many beautiful beaches and attractions for young and old! We discovered many places and really got to explore the eastern side of Mallorca.
