We stayed at Maria's place for about 8 days, but we would have stayed there for the rest of our life...

The house is a re-structured historic "masía" located in the heart of one of the most beautiful villages in Mallorca, Alaró, at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana. By "the heart" we mean that it is right attached to the main square of Alaró (still absolutely silent and quiet), where extremely welcome facilities can be found (from an exceptional bakery to several high-quality relatively-low-cost restaurants, an ice-cream stand, few super-markets...). Alaró is in turn at literally 45 min from any location in the island. Having stayed before in other coast-located places (e.g. Alcudia), where one needs more than 1.5h to get to the several hot spots in Mallorca, María's place being so centrally located couldn't just be more appreciated.

The apartments (four or five, if I remember correctly) have a common garden, filled by both bamboo and local species of trees which just provide the necessary shadow to have a good lunch/dinner time around it. Besides, a clean and every-day cleaned swimming pool space, with all the furniture related to it (umbrellas, sun-loungers, kids-toys) is just the perfect complement for the every-day holidays life, regardless having spent it at the beach or in excursions in the neighbourhoods. A barbecue space is also available.

We found the apartment not only clean, but well-provided with furniture and brand-new domestic electric appliances, and small details which really made the always-difficult-first-night in such kind of rentals just like being at home (soaps, towels, some coffee ready to be prepared, fresh drinks in the fridge...)

In summary, we are willing to come back to your place Maria! To the rest of the airbnb community: this is just the greatest place we experienced in Mallorca (and after about 30 years going there on holidays, it is a well-documented opinion). Just a request: please don't book for August 2016, as we really want to go back there next year and don't want to risk not finding place anymore! ;-)
