We had a lovely holiday at Maria's villa - we had no idea it would be so picturesque and atmospheric! it was a beautiful old villa with apartments - but without compromising on the integrity of the beautiful house - and there was lovely artwork on the walls which added to the feeling of staying somewhere really special. The shared kitchen had everything you could possibly need and my son loved playing with the other children - pool, table tennis and in the pool. There was a beautiful space to eat at night in the garden as well - and even though there were other families staying there it didn't ever feel crowded and everyone respected each other's space and added to the enjoyment of our holiday.
The location was wonderful - right in the middle of the town and yet when you were in the villa and garden we felt totally private . The market square was just behind the villa's garden and so we went for a drink in the evening and my son played football in the square with the local boys. There was also music in the evenings, so great for entertainment. There was a local market at the weekend, and the bakers on the square was open every day to ensure we had a delicious breakfast. The local supermarket had everything you could need - including lovely fresh fruit and vegetables. I'm coeliac and they catered really well for GF foods.
Alaro was also a great base to explore the island - we went over to Deia, and to Pollensa and down to Palma...
Maria was lovely and friendly and really made us feel welcome. She came by to check we had everything we needed but left us to enjoy ourselves. Everything was clean and lovley - the pool was kept really keen and we look forward to returning soon !
