Ten of our extended family stayed at this villa in August. We were aged 11 to 80 years old and had a really fabulous stay here.
The house is very tidy, well maintained, stylish and comfortable - with lots of space and storage. The kitchen was well equipped and perfect for preparing meals for everyone. We dined all together on the large table on the huge terrace - it really was lovely.
The pool was also extremely clean and well maintained - perfect for a dip to cool off at any time of day. The loungers were comfy and plentiful. There was also a simple but handy outside shower to rinse off quickly after being in the pool.
The location of the villa is semi-rural with views to the front over an orchard of olive and almond trees, meaning it is tranquil, but within 5-10 mins walk distance to a bus stop. We had cars though, which I would recommend for this location. At the back of the house is a vineyard with the mountains in the background.
The temperatures soared when we were there and the air conditioning in the bedrooms at night was sheer bliss - it should be noted however that the downstairs bedroom (a twin) did NOT have air conditioning, which the two guests sleeping in there found quite difficult to cope with on some nights.
The table tennis table, bats and balls were of good quality and provided an excellent source of entertainment for everyone - I recommend a tournament!
Whilst on Mallorca we went sea-kayaking from the spectacular Cala Molins with the brilliant Juan from Mon D'aventura. Other highlights included the nearby towns of Valdemossa, Deia, Soller, Banyalbufar and the gorgeous Jardins D'Alfabia. One day we took the bus into Palma which was much more relaxing than driving and parking would have been! Incidentally, kids travelled free on the bus.
I really do highly recommend this villa for large families - it was good value too, in comparison to some other villas of this size.
