This flat outside the city of Palma is the perfect base to explore. There is a regular bus service just on the doorstep that on week days runs every 8 minutes and is available
well into the evening if you want to stay in the city for the evening. (Bus no 8)
There a few small restaurants within walking distance and a supermarket very close by. For the sporty types there is a large sports centre with a choice of pools again within walking distance.The local bar, 2 minutes walkaway, is friendly and inexpensive. Breakfast can be bought at the local bakery at the bottom of the road or a small cafe opposite the church provided a tasty alternative.
The area is not designed for tourists, it has an authentic Spanish feel to it which we found very pleasing. Palma, with its hustle and bustle, provides so much for the tourist so staying in La Vileta is a nice contrast.
The accommodation was as described. Small, very clean, well equipped with various toiletries available. The bedroom was air conditioned which was a godsend given the temperature at times and the mosquitoes. It was a peaceful setting with excellent hosts who we spoke to on a daily basis about what to do and where to go. very helpful information and cost saving as well.
Our hosts made us feel more than welcome with two bottles of wine on arrival and a packed lunch on departure when they heard we had a late flight. We would recommend the hosts and this property without reservation if you want an authentic Spanish environment with the coast, the city and the mountains all within easy reach.
