We visit Mallorca every summer and have been coming to the island since over 40 years. We value local, authentic and with character but ideally barefoot comfort and cozy atmosphere. We were 4, with two kids aged 11 and 9 and two adults.
We found this to be an excellent house in a really great location: Llombards, 3km from Santanyi with its top market and great atmosphere, 6km from Ses Salines, great atmosphere as well and great dining. Close to the main beach areas and picturesque villages of the South East and yet in a small village with tranquility and privacy.
We loved the rustic bohemian decor and style of the house, built with the beautiful local stone of Santanyi, high ceilings in common areas and lots of windows, which gives the house loads of natural light -- very cozy. Great pool. Kitchen with all you need -- just the freezer is separated in a small compartment you access through the garden (just across the kitchen door), and no microwave (not an issue with us, but for info). One small TV in living room. Bedrooms have A/C which we were happy to use as it was quite warm. There are mosquitoes in the area in summer: mosquito repellent is useful and the house has mosquito-repellent plug-in accessories which we did have to use.
Impeccable equipment and general state of maintenance. Bed linens cleaned every week, towels provided both for shower and for the pool -- everything always very clean.
Rosa and Claudio are a delight to be with. They greeted us having bought some food including beers, juices, fabulous bread from "Es Moli" bakery, delicious ensaimadas, lots of fruit, water, milk, cereals, pasta and the essentials to live for a day (and actually much more!). Amenities in bathrooms included organic shower gel and shampoo, which we loved.
There is a blue folder with main tips on the area which is very useful and in any case, both Rosa and Claudio are usually very responsive and living just across the street so any help needed usually gets immediate reply / assistance. They also run yoga classes and other holistic therapies in a nearby space which is very convenient if anybody is interested.
Finally, the local cheese and their locally made Son Biu wine is the cherry on the cake!
Highly recommended if you are looking for tranquility in an authentic Mallorcan village, in a great location close to main beaches, markets and great restaurant areas and your style is barefoot - relaxed - cozy atmosphere and boho decor.
We loved it and hope to be back soon!
Thank you!
