Overall we really enjoyed our stay in Alaro.
We found the property difficult to find and the instructions could have been much better. The roads are very narrow and parking an issue - we sometimes had to park a 5 minute walk away from the house. There are uneven paths and steps leading to the house and an issue with cat poo!
We found Alaro to be a good base to explore the west coast of Mallorca with two lovely bakery’s and a lovely market on Saturday mornings.
Our favourite restaurant was Gallardos and it was only a 4 minute walk from the property.
We would recommend using the train to visit Palma and Soller.
Sant Elm was our favourite beach and worth the 40 minute drive. Porte Pollensa was also beautiful.
The house was really clean and comfortable inside and well equipped. The air con unit in the living area started leaking a few days before we came home so we had to turn it off - this needs to be serviced regularly especially in August.
The garden area is quaint however there was an issue with the pool (pump) on our arrival so we were not able to use it for a few days. We had to sweep the whole garden before we used it and the BBQ was really dirty too.
We would describe this as a one bedroom property as the downstairs bedroom has a sofa bed and is quite small. The toilet and shower downstairs are also very small - the shower just has a curtain round it and the shower head holder was broken so we chose not to use that.
We felt the property was over priced for 2 people.
Despite sounding rather negative, Gianni was quick to respond to messages and helped to resolve some issues and we really did enjoy our time in Mallorca.
