Francisca’s place was absolutely perfect for us.
It’s basically a pool house for the beautiful Villa that Francisca and her family live in next door, but it’s simply brilliant and more like a mini Villa than a pool house.
We’re a family with two children (aged 10 and 13) and normally we would look for maybe a bigger place with more bedrooms but actually the accommodation worked out really great.
The double bed is at one end of the living room and separated by a partition screen, but it was completely fine for us and having the kids go to bed before us in their own bedroom, it was never a problem in the slightest.
The kitchen was really well equipped and functional - we made many meals and sat out eating them on the large outdoor table. Breakfasts were particularly beautiful as the sun came up.
If you’re after a swish apartment with a designer interior and Eames armchairs so you can look cool on Instagram to your friends, then this probably isn’t the place for you - this is rustic Mallorcan country living at its best. There’s even a couple of friendly chickens that come around to say ‘hello’ in the mornings!
But Francisca’s place really isn’t about the inside, it’s about what you get with the outside living space and the pool. It’s incredible.
The pool is huge, beautifully clean and safe with a very large lounging area around it full of palm trees and flowers. Absolutely perfect for a gin and tonic or two!
If like my two kids, your idea of a holiday is spending most of the time in a great pool all to yourself (we never saw Francisca’s family once in two weeks) or visiting the best beaches in Mallorca that are nearby, then this is the place for you.
Francisca was a great host and was contactable via WhatsApp for the entire holiday and replied immediately every time I texted her. She gave us clean linen regularly and was super helpful - even being kind enough to offer a taxi service for us when we wanted to go out for the evening.
We will definitely be looking to come back again!
