I enjoyed Toni’s cottage; it is such a unique and different place to stay at whilst on vacation. The positives: great back garden including friendly chickens, lots of fauna and fruit trees (even some banana plants with actual bananas growing), overlooks beautiful Majorcan countryside where we saw sheep (and a hot air balloon one morning), fantastic terrace with everything you need, lots of interesting ornaments, knick-knacks and candles inside. Some reviewers complained about the traffic noise but when I was sitting on the back terrace enjoying breakfast I got used to it fast and it didn’t bother me at all, and indoors you don’t hear it at all. It was handy having Petra right there when we needed to get groceries etc. I appreciated things like the soft towels that smelled wonderful, and plenty of tea towels in the kitchen. The fridge was big and very clean. We loved the fresh eggs from the aforementioned chickens too. Bed was comfy and I asked for extra pillows which we received.
There were a few minor glitches but nothing too bothersome. We didn’t find the place easily and we had to be very careful when driving the car out because traffic was fast and we couldn’t see around the corner. There is a washing machine but no indoor dryer so to dry your clothes you have to hang them up outside which would normally be fine but it rained on our last day when we planned to do laundry. I loved the wooden beams in the ceiling but my husband knocked his head a few times at the kitchen stove but also in the shower. And we had a tricky time figuring out the oven on our first night but was helped out by Toni’s Mum. Then there was a thunderstorm on our penultimate night which knocked out the electricity and water supply, however all was fixed in the morning by Toni’s Dad. We tried to keep the doors closed but we still had a lot of flies so a fly swatter would have been handy.
All in all we had a fantastic time and I thank the hosts for their hospitality.
