Es Rafal is a perfect house for a family stay. The bedrooms are all a good size, with comfortable beds and there is everything you need there. The pool is lovely and a really good size - the photographs are very accurate. The children were extremely happy! Also the outside living space is very generous and it was lovely to bbq and eat outdoors on the shaded terrace. Everything is as described and there are fans in all the bedrooms although I would recommend to open all the windows when the sun goes down (as the locals do) to get some cooler air in the house before going to bed! We found ourselves adapting quickly to the Majorcan way of life as dictated by the heat!
The town square has some great little restaurants which cater well to children's tastes as well as offering some more majorcan dishes for the adults. Porreres is a charming little town and has all the things you need close by. The bakery down the street is easy walking distance for breakfast and the supermarket is also a few minutes walk to stock up on any essentials.
Francesc was an extremely helpful host, great communication and was there to meet us on time despite our easy jet flight being very delayed. Tony is also a delightful and charming man - you could not hope for nicer, and clearly proud of his apartment - whilst his English is limited we managed to communicate very well anyway. He only lives down the street so was on hand for any queries although honestly we did not need anything whilst we were there as it was all great and well organised. He also pops in to get rid of the rubbish and attend to the pool very early in the morning via the side door so he does not disturb you at all.
There were also beers in the fridge and a bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival which got the holiday off to a great start. Porreres is a good central location and we visited some lovely beaches and the water park and even made a trip up north to Pollenca without any drama. I would totally recommend this apartment to anyone - we loved it, and will be back!
