This modern, light and spacious apartment is a great place for a family or group holiday. It is in such a lovely spot, amongst pine woods, an orchard, olive trees and a garden full of gorgeous flowers and palms. It has a large, sunny terrace with comfortable sitting under shade for lazy moments and a cool evening drink. It is also large enough for young children to run around safely, as the surrounding walls are solid, and there is a sturdy gate by the stairs going down to the garden below. Our little granddaughter loved it!
The apartment has plenty of space and has been thoughtfully designed considering both, private and communal spaces with quality materials, appliances and furniture. All this makes it a very comfortable and a more than pleasant place to spend a holiday.
Celi and her lovely family live downstairs, but you would hardly know they are there! She made us feel very welcome and couldn't do enough for us. We were even encouraged to pick their organically grown produce, like tomatoes, aubergines and peppers. Also, my husband, a keen cyclist, was offered Celi's husband's road bike which he used to disappear for hours through the beautiful countryside and mountains! The family also have a boat and, on request, they can take you out to explore some amazing underwater caves nearby, whether for scuba-diving (they can provide all the equipment) or just snorkelling. Sadly, we did not have the time to do this, but hope to next time - it is definitely a place to go back to!
I almost forgot the swimming pool! It is a good size, safe for little ones and very, very clean. It's situated in a lovely spot amongst trees and surrounded by lush green grass, with plenty of both sun and shade. Very comfortable loungers are also available by the pool. Although it is shared with the guests of the family's other (fantastic!) property in the grounds, we were always on our own.
Just to say that the sandy (and partly rocky) beaches are only a pleasant 20 minutes walk away, as are restaurants and shops.
Can Picafort is a busy touristy spot, but Celi's finca is just outside the town and provides a peaceful oasis from all that. It is also a great base to explore the North and Northeast of Mallorca. Highly recommended.
