What an amazing place! Ca’n Mercader is a beautiful villa in a charming, rural setting. Thick stone walls and tiled floors helped with the 35°c heat. There is no air-con but an abundance of fans are provided. The rooms are spacious and immaculately kept. A fully equipped kitchen and large dining tables in the kitchen, dining room and front and rear patios allow for lots of family meals together.
The real highlight is the gorgeous pool overlooking stunning mountain views. The town of Costitx is a 15min walk where you can find a small supermarket and Central Bar - which is brilliant for a beer and sandwich:)
I would say that a car is essential. Inca is a 10min drive where you will find Lidl and Aldi. We highly recommend visiting the market on Weds mornings in the town of Sineu- its lovely and about a 15min drive away.
One of the best parts of the reservation was the prompt and easy communication with Lluís. He was so friendly and flexible. Our flight arrived quite late in the night and he was able to leave a key for us and arranged for his father to visit the next morning to check everything was ok. After having a nightmare collecting our hire car at the airport (avoid Goldcar!) and having two small children in tow, the gift basket of beers, wine, cava, fruit, bread and croissants was most welcome!
A cot and highchair were provided on request. And everything we could possibly want or need was at hand.
I highly recommend this villa (and Lluís as host) for an amazing, carefree holiday in the sun!
