For our family vacation (2 parents and 2 adult children), we chose Colomer house, whose location in the town of Petra in the center of the island seemed suitable for exploring the island of Mallorca. It turned out to be a good decision, both from the point of view of the location on the island, as well as the arrangement of the house, its location within the city. The building is a terraced house from the 17th century owned by 7 generations of one family. The building is an authentic stone house with a very well-functioning layout, which can be well ventilated without the need for air conditioning even on the hottest days. It is supplemented with modern elements (new bathrooms, kitchen, internet, TV) and provides comfortable functioning even in the 21st century. When you step into it for the first time, you will be amazed by its size. It has furnishings that make you feel like you're staying in a castle or museum. Family photos and various personal items collected in the house throughout his life are everywhere. You feel like you've come home to a family.
The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing all types of food, including baking, it is also equipped with a dishwasher. A big advantage is that the kitchen is located in such a position that you can serve breakfast, lunch or dinner either in the dining room or outside on the patio. But if you don't want to cook on vacation, there are great restaurants nearby. During our stay we discovered that they are so popular that without a table reservation you have no chance of getting there. In Petra, everything is within walking distance, so you will only need a car to get to the beach or for trips around the island.
For us, the house was like our fortress and gave us a feeling of safety away from the hustle and bustle of holiday centers. The nearest beaches are only a 20-minute drive away, and everywhere on the island can be reached in a maximum of 50 minutes. The host of Bookiply as well as the owner are very nice, they will be happy to help you with anything you need. A personal welcome and familiarization with the house is a bonus for us. Kata and Maria, thank you
