In short: a wonderful place to stay and explore the real Mallorca. The house is freshly renovated and equipped with modern features such as a heated pool, a brand new kitchen with good oven and big fridge and a massive smart TV with easy connectivity to streaming services. For our winter stay we particularly loved the pellet stove, an easy to use stove which heats the whole downstairs area comfortably and gives off a great cosy glow. The bedrooms are all spacious and at night the village is super quiet, enabling a good night's rest. Francisco is a great host, very responsive and clear in his communication. It is clear that he has renovated the house with care and he extends the same care to his guests.
Sineu, the village where the house is in, is a hidden gem in Mallorca. There are plenty of shops and supermarkets (and a famous Wednesday market) where you can get the best of Mallorquin produce. Citrus fruits are of course plentiful, as are great vegetables - many artichokes were cooked and consumed. For traditional Mallorquin bread and baking goods, Can Pinara bakes according to ancient tradition; S'ERA Forn Artesà is a modern bakery with bread of the very highest quality. There are plenty of restaurants and cafés, again both in modern and traditional styles. Sa Mola 13 offers good modern specialty coffees and also sells good beans you can use in the fully automatic coffee machine in the house. All of this is within a few minutes' walk of the house.
Sineu is easily accessible by car from the airport and we found it to be a great base to explore Mallorca, as it is more or less in the middle of it. Lots of good hikes nearby and within 20-30mins drive and easy access to Palma for a city moment. Thanks Francisco for this amazing stay, we'll definitely be back!
