On arrival, we were met by the host and his mother who gave us a thorough introduction to the house and its facilities. Everything was as described. The property is in immaculate condition, with a lovely garden and is set in tranquil rural surroundings. We spent a lot of our time as a family in and around the pool area, which is detached from the house but has its own BBQ, shower and fridge facilities. A particular highlight was the floating lilos! The pool lighting also is very spectacular in the evening.

The property was previously lived in by the host and his mother, who now reside in Palma and one can see that it is a lovely building superbly adapted for families and large groups, with some lovely period furniture. The air-conditioning in the bedrooms on the first floor was very helpful for use on hot evenings. Everything was very clean and tidy. The lounge area has satellite TV so we were able to access the BBC if we needed to.

Manuel is a very thoughtful and considerate person and one of his recommendations was to an organic vegetarian restaurant "Ginebro" in Inca, where we went and had one of the most fabulous meals we've ever had, and none of us is a vegetarian!

It is very easy to get around the island by car as nowhere is too far from the house, as it is very conveniently situated within easy reach of some lovely beaches. The town has an excellent pizzeria "Es Moli" on the hill and if you go there on a Thursday evening then there is a live band. We went shopping for food in a nearby town, Porreres, which has a very good local supermarket, so we never lacked for anything whilst we were at the house.

Once one masters the layout of the local roads, which are all in good condition, but can sometimes be a little confusing to the unitiated, then its easy to access anything in the town and beyond.

We were very happy here and we would confidently recommend this as a lovely house for a relaxing holiday.
