This is probably the nicest holiday house we have ever stayed in - it was spotlessly clean, extremely stylish with comfortable beds and great showers. The kitchen was very well kitted out with everything we could possibly need - even charcoal left in the BBQ and lots of cleaning supplies.
The gardens were lovely with beautiful cacti and some nice seating areas outside. The pool was great (and very clean) with loungers to sit on and lovely views.
The house is on the edge of Andratx which is a great town (10 minute walk to centre) - not too touristy with some good restaurants (and a fab shoe shop for my wife!). There is a huge, well stocked supermarket 5 minutes walk away. Port Andratx is about 5km away - my wife and I both ran there in the early morning (there is a very safe cycle path all the way). The house is next to the road but it didn't really bother us. Port Andratx is also really good, with more of a holiday feel and lots of excellent restaurants near the marina.
We hired a motor boat one day from the Port and went up the coast to Sant Elm and Dragonera Island which was a good day out. We also visited Palma one evening for dinner and to walk near the stunning cathedral. I hired a bike one day (with Mirin's help) and went for a long cycle up in the hills through vineyards which was beautiful. Other than that we just stayed at the house, relaxing and reading by the pool!
Mirin was so helpful and explained everything to us about the house when she greeted us. We had a small problem with one of the air conditioning units and she quickly rectified the problem and responded promptly.
If you didn't want to do much (like us) you could probably get away without having a car. Our car sat in the drive a lot - you can walk to the supermarket, get taxis and there is a bus stop very nearby to Port Andratx and Palma.
