C’an Gat Menut is a gem, it was better than we had imagined and from what you see in the photos.
Not being familiar with the area and being a trio of young families, we were slightly concerned that we might be too far from any child-friendly activities but as soon as we arrived our fears were allayed. Such is the scale of the villa and the garden, it must be two acres, our children, all between one and four, were absolutely elated at the huge grassy lawn, fragrant flower borders, peculiar colonies of snails, multiple lizard sightings and eagles (actually a red-kite of the kind familiar to anyone in southern England but try convincing a 3 year old it’s a red-kite is when they think it’s an eagle!).
Inside, the space is very useable. The bedrooms are all big, the shower and bathrooms are all modern and in perfect order, the kitchen is ideal for quick meals or to prepare larger ones, all the mod-cons are more than you need and of high quality. The air conditioning was exceptionally good and allowed the house to act as a sanctuary from the high heat of the afternoon, I’d assume it works just as well as a heating unit in winter.
While we went with our children, I have no doubt that the villa would suit as an ideal retreat for an all adult party. The outdoor kitchen was a bonus and once the children were in bed was a fine setting for a later meal and drinks. The pool was wonderful to jump into after a hot day even after dark and to refresh.
Were we of the mind to return to Mallorca I would very much enjoy a return trip, but there is a big world to see and we want to see as much as possible. If family friendly Mallorca is your destination then look no further.
Thank you to Pedro and his charming granddaughter for all their calm polite assistance, offers of help and guidance, nothing was too much to ask and responses to questions were rapid and useful.
