The house is absolutely beautiful - the pictures don't do the place justice. It is nestled opposite two mountains in the Mallorcan countryside, surrounded by the sound of cicadas and bathed in sunshine. We visited in June when it was very hot so the swimming pool was a welcome refresher when we needed it.
You will definitely need a car here - there is ample secure parking - as it is tucked away from the town. Situated between Alaro and Orient, it is a quick drive to the supermarket and restaurants. There is not much within walking distance but perhaps within biking distance. The roads on the way to the house are narrow and windy so don't hire a big car or it will just be stressful. Our 5 door normal sized car was just about fine.
The house is well located for daytrips around Mallorca. 30mins from Palma, 1 hour from Deia, 45mins-1 hour from the south and east coast. It was the perfect base for us to explore the island.
The donkeys are curious and friendly and provide a handy alarm clock in the morning 😉. There are a couple of dogs who live on the grounds but apart from being excited to see you they are no bother and are friendly and well behaved. A quick 'vamos' and they'll be out of your way.
Mendi is a fabulous host who met us on arrival and showed us around. He was contactable if we needed him but we found we had everything.
I wouldn't say the house is very child friendly as there are steps to the pool and it is located in an old quarry so lots of rocks and little hills around. So definitely older children or adults only for the best experience.
Overall we had a fabulous time and we can't wait for our next visit! Thank you Mendi!
