After a long search through Airbnb we finally settled on Son Real d'Alt, which is very central it was only a maximum an hour’s drive away from almost everywhere on the island. It had it’s own pool, wonderful views from multiple terraces and an entertainment barn with ping pong table, darts board, boules and a good selection of board games. There was also a separate room full of beach and pool toys that entertained our two children for hours.
The interior is sparkling clean and really well decorated. The kitchen is better equipped than mine at home and was a delight to use, as we did make a lot of our own meals. There was also a coolbox and ice packs to take for picnics. There are three double bedrooms at the moment, with very large comfy beds, but potential for at least another three on two other floors that were intriguingly sealed off. With all the common areas, it makes sense that the plan is to increase the amount of bedrooms in the future.
Biel and Cati met us outside Sineu and we followed them to the house, which was about 5 minutes drive from the town. It was very secluded, up a track. They were rightfully proud to show us around their house and introduce us to the animals - goats, chickens, donkeys and (to our children’s delight) kittens. They also left us a very generous hamper of food, including fresh eggs from their chickens.
We spent a fantastic week there and when we discovered, on unpacking the car at the airport, that we had forgotten to pack one of our suitcases (!), Biel came to our rescue and drove it to the airport in time for us to catch our plane. We cannot thank you enough.
