What a fantastic property! Our first ever Airbnb and we were very pleased with the communication and the efforts of host Lucia to make us feel welcome.
The house is in a fantastic location, within a short drive to the main highway that leads to Alcudia and Pollença (both towns about 10 - 15 mins drive) but there is a real sense of seclusion and rural tranquility. The views from the property are of mountains, pine forests and the bay of Port e Pollença in the distance. It is surrounded by extensive gardens and trees that offer a cornucopia of fruits. There is a fantastic deep, large pool (lights up at night) that our 10 year old and 8 area old just loved. There are plenty of locations to dine outside. Great bar-b-que and wood fired oven for home made pizzas. Fresh figs hang on the trees and grape vines hang over the patio area. Every one of our needs were catered for. Very clean with a group of cleaners who come on a Friday to change the sheets and basically completely clean the house whilst we sat and ate breakfast, very friendly and accommodating. Comfy beds with fans, but be aware of the odd mosquito. We have traveled to tropical destinations and appreciate that if you want to live in rural locations with a pool you will get mosquitoes so bring plenty of lotion. The odd itchy bite is a small price to pay.
Mallorca is a very beautiful island, Lucia gave us great advice and recommended some great places to visit and eat, we had wonderful tapas at Can Punyetes, in Port d' Alcudia the mussels were amazing and not a rip off and very popular with the locals. Visit the markets in Alcudia old town on Tuesdays and Sundays. Definitely go snorkelling at S'Illot and eat at and drink cocktails at Oceanos at Marina De Bonaire. Formentor is also well worth a visit and a beautiful drive. There is a decent water park (Hidropark) in Alcudia which is not too big to have the 40 minute queues of other parks on the island and perfect for the kids. But after all that exploring this wonderful corner of Mallorca please rest assured that this property is a perfect retreat to chill and relax at the end of the day. We had a really great holiday here and will come back.
