Our two families of four, including four teenagers in the group - all rated "Son Allegre" as one of the best holiday properties we have rented - across several shared and independent family holidays during the last 15 years!
There is no single reason for this popularity - but rather that it appeals on several levels simultaneously. The "kids" loved the well sized pool and the proximity to the town centre (and the wifi) allowing them some of the independence they crave at this age but without any worries on the part of the parents over transport, lifts, roads, safety etc.
The adults loved it for the charm of the building, the incredible setting and the extraordinary views in virtually every direction and for the variety and privacy offered by the various terraces available to relax in/on.
If you are looking for "cutting edge" or top of the range perfection, then this property is probably not for you. However, if you are looking for a property full of character with rustic charm that provides all the facilities needed for a great family/multi couples holiday then you may feel the same way about this place that we did.
As other reviewers have also remarked, Pollença is a beautiful historic town, full of lively restaurants, cafes, bars as well as some cultural sights including a Roman bridge, two museums and the impressive Nostra Senyora Del Angels church amongst the highlights.
The streets of Pollença are narrow and there is a tight one way system that makes your first drive through the town and up to the house cautious and slightly nerve wracking, but you get used to it and there is plenty of space for parking at the house.
My communications with the owner of the property, Ileana, were always answered speedily and when we had an issue during our stay Ileana contacted me by phone straight away and was able to get it sorted out very promptly.
Maria, (Ileana's local representative) met us at the property on day one and although my Spanish is unforgivably bad/non existent and Maria's spoken English is not fluent - we were able to communicate sufficiently well to make ourselves (respectively) understood.
I would recommend downloading the "WhatsApp" App to your smartphone - for communicating with Maria & Ileana - and when words fail you - resort to using photo's - it worked OK for me!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay in "Son Allegre“ and were all very sad to leave, the house is charming, unique and fantastically located. Thank you very much for letting us share your beautiful property.
