We were two families of 5 and spent 10 days at Sa Garrigueta. Luis was there to meet us when we arrived on the Saturday evening. He showed us around and he also had kindly booked a table for us to have dinner in one of the local restaurants.
It was my first visit to Mallorca, and I have to say that the location was absolutely perfect. Perched in the foothills of the Serra Tramontana mountains, the views from the villa across to the sea were stunning. The villa is a short 5 minute walk to the pretty village of Gallilea, where there are three restaurants and a couple of bars. It was lovely to be able to wander down into the village for a drink or something to eat rather than having to get into the car. You are also well situated to access Palma (30 minutes drive) or explore the Serra Tramontana mountains. During our visit we had several lovely day trips to Soller, Polenca, Valldemossa and Lluc.
The villa itself was very nice. It was clean and the common areas on the ground floor were spacious. The outdoor space was wonderful. We all ate outside on the terrace nearly every meal, and the swimming pool was refreshing in the heat of August. The kids loved it.
A couple of points to note though. There was a problem with one of the downstairs bathrooms when we arrived. Luis did eventually resolve it, but it took a long time and meant that it was pretty much unusable for most of our visit. Also when we booked the villa it was advertised with 5 bedrooms, however when the vill was refurbished earlier this year one of the bedrooms was converted into an open mezzanine level above the reception area. It wasn't suitable for children to sleep in and we had to ask Luis to move extra beds into two of the bedrooms, which made them quite small. We did eventually get a partial refund for these things, but again it took quite a long time to sort this out.
Finally it was quite warm at night. The villa doesn't have air conditioning (which we knew before we booked) and even though we kept the shutters closed during the day, I'm not sure that I would stay somewhere again in August without air con.
Overall though a beautiful place, good villa and a nice holiday.
