We had a great stay in Felip’s typical Majorcan house in Sa Pobla. It is probably not a town most people would think of staying when coming to Mallorca but exactly for that reason we feel a perfect base to operate from as it is a nice quiet town that is not touristy at all; not like practically all towns/cities along the coast. Felip’s house is somewhat quirky and that’s what’s great about it. It is big, narrow and long with three stories, three bedrooms and two bathrooms (one on the ground floor ‘out back’). We (my wife, my fourteen-year-old daughter and I) only used the master bedroom as we’d put a mattress out of another room on the floor. Hence we used roughly 50% of the house. The house has all the facilities you may need including a dishwasher, a washing machine and dryer. The house has pretty much everything you may need and want. The little terrace on the ground floor and bigger terrace on the top floor are nice but we didn’t really use them ourselves. The main square is just around the corner and a supermarket also within easy walking distance. The location is thus ideal. The close vicinity of things really surprised us. Aside from the supermarket that is close by (on Carre Gran) there are also to other fantastic supermarkets in town. Indeed parking is a challenge, you have to be really lucky to be able to park close by. We knew this would be the case and we’ve experienced this in more places in southern Europe. I usually parked the car a few blocks down the Carre Gran namely between Carrer General Cabrinetti and Carrer Migjorn. It is a bit of a walk but there is always a space to park the car in the street there. As stated Sa Pobla is an ideal base to operate from. The nearest beach (Platja de Muro) is about 20 minutes away but we went all over the place to swim; Canyamel, Playa Mondrago, Platja de S’oratori and Cala de s’ Àguila. We also visited Alcudia, Sóller, Pollença, Palma, Porto Petro, Artà, Banyalbufar, Fornalutxt and more so all is very doable indeed from Sa Pobla. Communication with Felip was excellent. He was very responsive, very quick and helpful. We’d most definitely recommend his accommodation for a great stay on Mallorca.
