What a beautyful place to be! If you are looking for a private calm place with a stunning outdoor area but still not too far remote (5mins to restaurants and shops in Pollenca, 10mins to the nearest beach) you may stop searching here. We spent 6 nights in Ca'n Gato d'en Vives and had a wonderful time. Specially the outside area with the wonderful pool, the garden area with many different plants and the little black cat remain in our memories. Joan stopped by daily to feed the cat and cleaning the pool. He was not shy to exchange some words while being very kind, respectful and supportive with any kind of inquiries. The kitchen is well equipped, has a huge fridge and was generally proper only the water heater and oven could have been a bit cleaner. You will find all the tools, plates etc. you need as well as salt and pepper but thats it everything else (spices, oil, coffee, sponge for doing the dished and rubbish bags) you need to bring yourself. We only used the first floor bedroom where the bed was comfy however the water pressure on the shower was quite low so we used the ground floor shower after discovering it's better down there. The AC only works during certain hours at night but there are fans which were good enough during the day if it gets very hot. Communication with Maite was easy and quick however we did not meet her in person - thanks again for allowing us to check-out a bit later!
While we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone some things could be improved:
- some information about AC time windows, recycling system and that you need to bring the bags, recommendation for trips/restaurants in written form would be appreciated (specially as check-in was contactless)
- the sun beds at the pool are worn out and no longer very comfortable so a replacement would level up the place even more
Some last word before you book: Be aware about the mosquitoes and bring protection, don't expect a hyper modern house (specially the sewage system might smell a bit but nothing dramatic), the WIFI is pretty slow you are better off with mobile internet.
