our stay at Joan’s place in Mancor de la Vall was perfect. We are a family over 4 with two girls 17 and 12 and had plenty of space and all we needed. It is a 1 minute walk to the village swimming pool (free but you do have to insist .. we paid 9€ on first visit, but Joan made clear we didn’t need to pay so we just walked in confidently after that and weren’t asked to pay again). Village has a bakery (friendly and lovely bread and pastries) and two small shops .. cover most of what you need. We didn’t try the cafes and bars, but the cafe by the swimming pool looked busy and the bar opposite the bakery was always crowded with locals in the morning. House was within easy striking distance of alcudia and pollenca, both good for an evening out. Our favourite beaches san Vicenc with amazing snorkelling (Cala molins ... go right as you get to the resort), and Alcanada - great shaded area and can swim (or walk) over to an island with a lighthouse.
House was fantastically equipped. The kitchen was as good as being at home , oil and some spices available to make things easy. Washing machine, ironing board, games, tv, air con, everything you could wish for. Towels for the beach/pool and for the shower, parasols, tennis rackets and balls (there is a free tennis court in the village)
All in all a perfect stay at a very good price and Joan was the perfect host .. friendly, helpful, great tips ...
Some barking dogs and sheep bells at night .. but didn’t overly trouble us ..
