We had a lovely week at this villa, it is extremely spacious, secure and the gardens are enormous and beautiful. The pool is a great size, clean, not overly salted and a lovely temperature - no need to heat it in August. The villa is situated a very short walk away from the beach, shops, bars and Cala Bona marina. If you want to walk a little further along the sea front, Cala Bona merges into Cala Millor with even more bars, restaurants & shops on offer.
There is a great BBQ in the gardens but we didn’t use it as we couldn’t find anywhere that sold fresh meat. We were told by locals & the cleaner that we’d have to taxi to a supermarket some distance away to get this so if you want to fully self cater I would advise hiring a car. If you are happy with fresh baguettes, ham and cheese type lunch then having evening meal out in restaurant then no car needed.
The villa interior is unique but in places a little tired. Bathrooms and kitchen could do with an upgrade. Air con would also be good (at least in the bedrooms for night time) but I suspect if this work was done we wouldn’t be able to afford the rental 😊. One or more annoying animals chose to use the garden as a toilet during the night so clearing up poo every morning was pretty grim; not the owner’s fault but you need to be aware if bringing young children. Bring mosquito protection, some group members were bitten a lot even after spraying ‘jungle formula’ on themselves from early evening.
Doris is a perfect host. All enquiries handled immediately via Airbnb message or WhatsApp. She met us at the villa at 10pm to show us around and had put some provisions in the fridge as we arrived late - very kind and thoughtful. Doris manages other villas on this island and I would not hesitate to book through her In future.
