Antoni's villa is a wonderful retreat - a beautifully finished, bright and airy villa set in amongst a wonderful wrap-around garden, full of mature plants and trees. As a family with two young children (2 and 4 years old), it was absolutely perfect for us on all counts - the location, layout, features and quality were all we could have asked for.
The villa is a 5-minute drive from the middle of Pollença, up a narrow country lane (with passing places). Upon arriving, there is large off-street dedicated parking just opposite the property. Entering into the villa and meeting the owner, we immediately knew we were in for a lovely week - the villa is set in truly beautiful gardens, with many large trees and shrubs, large grass areas, views of the mountains and multiple outdoor seating areas. There is a pond in the garden - surrounded by rocks and foliage, but of note to anyone with very young children, and the garden is so large that the far extents are a few hundred feet away through some thicker undergrowth - our kids never ventured away, but something to watch for.
The property doesn’t have a swimming pool and we almost didn’t book because of this - but decided to because it ticked so many other boxes. In retrospect, we’re very glad we did as the pool would have been a liability with the kids and the drive to gorgeous Cala Sant Vicenç is only 10 minutes or so, or the great family beach at Alcudia is 20 minutes.
Inside, the property has clearly been recently refurbished to a very high standard - it’s fully air-conditioned, has Fibre internet, with a great modern kitchen, both bedrooms with en-suites, plus an extra shower and toilet downstairs. The furniture throughout was clean, comfortable and of great quality - with the master bedroom featuring a four-poster bed, with views of the hills from the adjacent window. The staircase up to the first floor has a handrail that has a few slightly large gaps in it - again, with a very young child I would be a little wary of these.
The rooms are all spacious, with a large lounge, large dining table, and each of the two bedrooms being a great size, with good sized en-suite bathrooms. The second bedroom has room for two single beds plus a cot (which was provided for us).
The photos really don’t do the place justice - it is so different and is clearly a loved personal home out of season.
We’re looking forward to coming back again!
