Our stay at Villa Mariposa was very calm and relaxing, which is exactly what we wanted on our break away. Maria is an amazing host, who is very friendly and welcoming, and answers any query very quickly. She provided us with information about local bars, restaurants and beaches. The villa has everything you need for the perfect holiday and is located in an unspoilt part of Mallorca called Son Serra de Marina. Beaches are wild and unspoilt, but really beautiful, and early on in the season, you can more or less have the beach to yourself.
We rented a car before we arrived at Palma airport, which you do need because of the location, and to go and get supplies throughout your stay. There is a big Lidl supermarket in Can Picafort, which is about 15-29 minute drive away.
The villa itself is very spacious and cosy, and it really is like the pictures. All the rooms are very homely, with lots of added touches, to make the villa feel more like home from home. The outside area is really nice, with a dining table and chairs for when you want to eat outside or cook some delicious food on the outdoor BBQ. It was such a delight to be able to pick fresh lemons from the lemon tree to have with our tea in the mornings, and to use when we was cooking. Another nice feature was a washing machine in the outdoor utility area and an clothes airer.
The pool was refreshing on hot sunny days and was a lovely addition to the villa. If your lucky enough you might get introduced to ROT the pool robot, who Maria or her husband will bring to clean the bottom of the pool. There is so much outside space with shaded seating or sun loungers if you want to top up your tan. You really are spoilt for choice of where to chill, with a glass of wine, or a cocktail.
Would I recommend Maria’s villa, absolutely. The whole experience from the time we arrived until the time we sadly had to depart to go home was incredible, and I can’t wait to go back again very soon.
Thank you Maria for being such an outstanding host 🫶
