Our host provided us with the means to let ourselves in on arrival, which was very convenient. We should have arrived during daylight, which our host suggested, as it was easy to miss the small approach road off the main road. We worried a bit about getting our hire car scratched on the vegetation either side, but at the end of the week a farmer cut it back.

We liked the Villa very much. The garden and pool were greatly enjoyed. Parking was convenient. Location was private, picturesque and peaceful. Our host was very quick to respond to a couple of our requests, and was very polite. The local ants were an unexpected and formidable force to be reckoned with. Insecticide cleared them, but it would have been good to have been given some guidance and a spray can beforehand.

Facilities were simple and just right for a self-catering holiday. The double bed was lumpy on one side, and the host has taken note. It was good to have air conditioning. We tried to programme it with the timer but needed instructions. TV is ideal for German visitors, but not so much for English speakers.

The restaurant with very pleasant terrace just across the main road from the approach road was a gentle 10 minute walk away and served good authentic food. We also enjoyed using the barbecue at the villa.

It was great to be able to hop in the car and get our groceries at Lidl, just 5 minutes away. Another 5 minutes took us to the lovely old town of Pollenca, or Puerto Pollenca, or Cala San Vicent. A lovely area to stay.
