We were a group of five friends, celebrating three birthdays and looking for a relaxing weekend in a comfortable villa.
The villa did not disappoint. It is large, well appointed, and well laid out, speaking to the talent of the architect owner. Sleeping at least nine people, the five of us each got our own room and convenient facilities. The kitchen was well stocked and had all the necessary equipment for one friend to MacGuyver brunches and birthday cakes. As it was a pleasantly warm and sunny period (mid-September), we did not stay indoors, but rather dined on the large terrace and enjoyed the pool area. The pool is not Olympic sized, but did offer pleasant paddling and cooling off on the hot days. The wi-fi worked. From the top room, you can see across the entire bay.
The villa is 5 minutes' walk to the sea; the seashore there is rocky, at one location seemingly carved out as a quarry (?). We spent a pleasant afternoon at another, more rocky shore there, although the moss-covered rock might be dangerous for less experienced swimmers and children.
10 minutes' walk the other way is S'Arenal, with a nice sandy beach and an unfortunate mass of tourists in a tourist trap-seaside resort area.
Just outside the villa is a bus stop for the main route along the Platja de Palma all the way to Palma itself. We did not try it, as we had rented a car.
Mickey was a superb and super-professional host. The key handover and introduction to the house was without problem and she continued to field requests for advice and help throughout our 5-day stay without hesitation. We followed her advice for dinner in Palma on our last night and were completely delighted by the restaurant and its food.
All in all, we had a brilliant time and can recommend Mickey's villa unreservedly!
