Ok. Our 8th Airbnb in 6 weeks and unfortunately the worst of all of them, which I hope the host will resolve for others as there is lots of potential with the property. Start with the basics, the property is very old and whilst there are a few modern touches like a microwave, TV and dishwasher, everything inside is easily 20+ years old. You will need to treat your stay here like you are moving into a new home which is furnished. You will need, soap, salt, pepper, oil, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, coal for the bbq, matches etc. Literally other than a welcome pack of milk, bread and butter which we didn’t expect there is nothing in this property. The air con comes on at 9pm and goes off at 2am at which point the rooms become stuffy and uncomfortable and you then need to open the windows to be bitten to death by mosquitos. There’s no AC in the kitchen lounge either. To have AC for the duration is a further EUR150. Thr inside of the villa is deceptively small and almost completely dark because of the need to keep shutters closed to a)Keep it cool (as no AC, and b)Keep the bugs out! The pillows were nasty as was the bed linen and the upstairs which is accessed via a spiral staircase is not child friendly. The whole inside is very traditional and the photos are very flattering FYI. The WiFi barely works (it’s a satellite system apparently) which if you’re travelling with kids and need a bit of Netflix then beware it won’t work at busy times. The outside however is amazing and the space is beautiful. The pool is great and there’s table tennis on the patio. Also there’s an outside shower and washing room which was good to have. The villa is located about a 20 minute drive to pollenca port which was disappointing, as it looks like the villa is literally a few minutes away from the vague location Airbnb provides. You will struggle to get a big car to the house too and be able to turn it around as the access is via an unpaved road.
With all this said, if you like traditional and don’t suffer from bites and heat and like old fashioned/traditional furnishings, then this place will work for you. It was immaculately clean inside and the host is friendly, however if the previous reviewers mentioned items as I have, we probably wouldn’t have chosen it for a family break by the coast.
