We stayed with Jackie for one week mid June. The cottage was stunning and contained everything we could possibly need for a relaxing stay. This included an outdoor BBQ which we didn’t use but for nights in you have the choice available, as well as the normal cooker inside the cottage.
We arrived very late in the evening but Jackie was there to greet us and showed us around. There was also some emergency provisions to make a snack with and water., which we really appreciated. Prior to leaving for Mallorca Jackie reached out to us via WhatsApp and sent Google Maps directions. It was straight forward locating the property and communicating with Jackie for tips etc if needed.
The only downside for us was the lack of on street parking next to the cottage. We were traveling with a 5 month baby and regularly had several bags and pram etc to pack up/off load. We always found a space on the street but at times it was a struggle.
The garden area is a shared space with a 2 bedroom adjoining cottage and Jackie’s property. The garden is absolutely stunning adorned with fruit and nuts trees, bougainvillea and other flowering plants. The backdrop of the garden is a fabulous mountain which makes for a stunning sight when swimming in the pool. There is plenty of space and shaded areas in the garden, sun beds and areas to eat in relative privacy.
Andratx is a charming relatively sleepy traditional Spanish town. The village plaza contains several tapas bars, bakeries , supermarkets etc with supplies all within a ten minute stroll to the cottage. On Wednesdays there’s a fairly substantial market which is worth a look. Port Andratx is around a ten minute drive away where you’ll find an abundance of restaurants and bars at tourist prices but fabulous views and sunsets.
All in all a great place to stay and we’d love to return!
