The location of this fisherman’s cottage was amazing. The views were lovely. There are perfect areas and space for sunbathing and also lots of shaded areas at the property too. You have direct access straight into the sea where there was lots of swimming and snorkelling to be done.
The kitchen is well equipped, the BBQ was great and there is a lot more space inside the house than the pictures give credit for.
The beds are comfy. The allotted parking space is ideal (it is on a steep hill but you get used to reversing up it quickly). There are lots of sun beds out in the garden and more in the garage below where a kayak was also available for use free of charge.
There were lots of lovely Rituals toiletries throughout the property (large shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, hand and body moisturiser) so I believe previous reviews have been acted upon.
Antonia was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. She lives locally so is on hand to help if needed.
It is a beautiful and picturesque walk into Cala Figuera that takes around 15-20 minutes as you stop to take photos and enjoy the views (note it is not pram/buggy friendly and there are lots of steps).
We chose to drive into the town most evenings due to having a 3 month old (~5mins) as it tended to be too hot and strenuous to carry her in her carrier. There are a few restaurants and small shops here. It isn’t very touristy which is a nice relief from some of the bigger resorts.
Santanyi is only a 10 min drive away and has lots of lovely restaurants and shops to visit also. The property is also near Mondrago National Park which is beautiful for a walk and to visit their beach.
Note there is no air conditioning in any of the fisherman’s cottages in the area (perhaps due to a preservation law?) so it can get quite warm in the bedrooms. We managed ok by using the ceiling fans and keeping the windows open and shutters closed in the day. There was a heat wave during our stay and when temperatures reached 30+ it was a little difficult to sleep, however we were on a baby’s timetable and had we been able to go to bed much later it would have been more manageable. Also note there are quite a few mosquitoes in this region but again we managed ok with the nets provided.
Overall, we were happy to relax on the balcony with a sangria or sunbathe and swim off the rocks below all day without needing to leave as it had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday and we would come back again (in a cooler season) in a heartbeat.
