The villa is in a lovely peaceful position with spacious grounds, a reasonable size pool and beautiful views of the surrounding hills and countryside. It has plenty of space inside as well, with a range of appliances and comfortable beds. It is only a 25 minute walk into Puerto Pollenca with its wide selection of bars and restaurants. Ana and Jaime (the owners) were very friendly and provided us with a generous welcome hamper for our first day breakfast. There is a good (free) WiFi signal throughout.
However, it could have been so much better! When we arrived there was no hot water (lukewarm at best), the kettle was broken and there were insufficient blankets for all the beds (the May evenings were still pretty cool). Two days into our 7 night stay, we received more blankets (and electric heaters) and a new kettle. At the same time, the hot water was ‘fixed’ but we still only had enough hot water for a couple of showers each afternoon (despite trying to space them over a period of 2 hours).
We have stayed in Majorca a few times and there were a number of more minor issues, in comparison to other villas, which added to the disappointment: the villa sleeps 8, but we were only provided with 7 towels (plus a hand towel in each bathroom) and 7 made up beds (for our party of 7) despite having paid the full price; there are insufficient sunbeds for everyone and most have seen better days; there is a table-tennis table, but no bats and balls; there was no obvious ‘Welcome Book’ with key information about the villa and surrounding area; the villa’s décor, including some of the sheets and towels, is somewhat tired.
Overall, we generally enjoyed our stay – mainly due to the grounds, the facilities in Puerto Pollenca and the weather. It is just a shame that, with a little effort, it could have been so much better.
