Mallorca has stolen our hearts and Can Pou Petit was the perfect place to stay. Think 'Finca' not villa and you won't be disappointed ! The farmhouse is full of character ( we loved the traditional furniture and unexpected artwork). It is also very well equipped and had everything you could need. As a group of eight adults the dishwasher and washing machine were used almost daily! The pool is wonderful and a welcome addition given the heat, although there are plenty of shady outside spaces where you can escape the sun if you wish. We made good use of the BBQ and ate outside all the time, even when raining there is a sheltered patio that enables you to do this. The air-conditioning is a life saver!
The Finca is in an ideal location to explore the north of the island. I would recommend hiring a car because it is in a very quiet , very peaceful location. The nightly sunsets over the mountains are spectacular. We did also use the local taxis if we went out to eat at night and they were very good and reasonably priced. There are two supermarkets ten minutes away, Polenca beach and Port are ten minutes in the opposite direction and there are numerous excellent restaurants to be found there. Having cars enabled us to explore further afield and I would thoroughly recommend this, the scenery and lovely secluded beaches are second to none. We had keen cyclists and climbers in the group who took the opportunities the island offers to follow their sports. We also hired quad bikes, SUP boards and went on a boat trip to watch the sunrise and observed dolphins enjoying the quiet waters.
I cannot fault Teresa as a host. Her communication throughout was excellent, both prior to and during our visit. In the Finca there
were thoughtful touches that you don't always find like hand soap, dishwasher tablets, washing machine powder, washing up liquid etc. There was a very thoughtful and much appreciated welcome food/drink gift which meant we could take breather and get acclimatised before dashing off to the supermarket.
Thank you for a wonderful stay on a wonderful Island!
