We were delighted with our stay in Gemma's private apartment, which is located perfectly in the beautiful village of Banyalbufar.

The three rooms are comfortable and the apartment is very spacious. Gemma's hosting was amazing; we immediately felt at home and she was close by in case we needed anything.

The pool is perfect to cool down after a day in the hot sun while the terrace boasts views of the mountains that provide a stunning backdrop. The restaurants within the village serve up traditional and competitively priced dishes, but the kitchen is fully equipped if you want to rustle up something in the apartment.

Banyalbufar itself is a gorgeous, peaceful village. There are some amazing hiking routes, punctuated by stunning vistas, leading out to secluded spots along the coast.

We were already planning our next trip to Banlyalbufar as soon as we arrived, and we would definitely stay in Gemma's comfortable, welcoming and excellently located apartment again.

The bus from Palma costs €3.10 and takes between 30-40 minutes - the views from the bus are worth the fare alone.
