Joan's place was perfect for us (my girlfriend and I) and what we wanted for our trip away. 2 large bedrooms, 1 with a double bed and 1 with 2 single beds. Good large rooms with air con in both. The hallway into them also contains the entrance to the bathroom, which is also a good size and has a lovely large sink. The lounge and kitchen are have some really nice features and where a lot of the character of the house lies. A beautiful old wooden coffee table, wooden bunker chest and designs on the walls by a very good painter. Actually a really cool feature of the house is the painting on the wall on the double bedroom. Make sure to look at it in a pitch dark room. The outside areas are gorgeous, the garden that Joan has nurtured is really something. The dominant colour was purple (July). The location is the reason we chose Joan's place - it is 2 streets up from the main promenade and beach of Can Picafort - which is a nice quiet little village/town. The beach is a narrow one but still heaven. You'd think you are in the Caribbean some days, how blue the sea can get and how warm the water becomes. We rented bikes and cycled to Alcudia one day - it took about 30 minutes. You go along the main road as there is a cycle lane a lot of the way. We stopped at beaches along the way and really enjoyed that. Joan's house was the perfect base every day with which to do what we wanted to do - relax on the beach at can picafort, and do day trips to other beaches or little towns. Alcudia old town is very nice too by the way.
Outside there are loungers, a bbq, a shed with supplies, a shower, washing machine and tumble drier, 2 table and chairs and a parasol. Everything you need and with all the privacy you want. Just don't sit outside in July after 6pm drinking red wine because the mosquitos will eat you alive, trust me.
Thank you to Marga who manages the house with Joan and was our contact while we were there. Extremely helpful and communicated very well. Joan lives next door and we knew if we needed anything we could just ask him. But the house has everything you need. Oh and one last thing - there is a Mercadona supermarket about 10 minute walk too. You will need it while you are there as it sells everything and is one of the few in the area.
Thanks Joan & Marga!
