This is a fab and spacious place to chill out.
1 lovely 2-storeyed traditional house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a huge living room and spacious dining room (decorated with quirky paintings executed by Gabi's mother) - with a spacious, covered outside eating area + another space for just lounging - is complemented by a more modern, ground level, adjoining annexe with a separate entrance, its own kitchen and bathroom.
Air conditioning abounds; the wi-fi is good; and there's a washing machine in a little alcove between the 2 houses.
The spacious lawn in front - one part shaded by trees - with lots of deck-chairs, features a refreshing, medium sized swimming pool + the property has a big gate to deter interlopers complete with a key box.
Sa Ràpita is in the slightly secluded south east corner of the island so a car is useful - whether to pop over to Palma (30 mins), up north to Pollenza (an hour) or to Valldemosa/Deia (50 mins) in the northwest or simply to zoom immediately up north to Campos (10 mins) where there´s a good market on Saturdays, a mega selection of supermarkets + a brilliant state run 24 hour medical clinic should anyone be ill.
Walking into town takes about 40 minutes, there's a brilliant Forn (bakery), 2 or 3 very good eateries, a mini supermarket, tabacalera, and pharmacy.
Half way there, on the left, is The Nautical Club - a good place for breakfast -
which is perched on the edge of a convenient beach: beset, however, by vast amounts of brown seaweed; but if you're prepared to walk there's a much smaller cala (Ses Covetes) further along, which you can also drive to by turning immediately right outside the house and driving for 2 kilometres.
Last but not least, Gabi + her father Gabriel are sweet and super attentive hosts who will literally drop in at the drop of a hat at no matter what time should any probs arise.
