SPECIAL OFFER MAY 2018 - Sa Torre de Sant Pere: exclusive seafront beach house

We rented this villa for a family reunion at the end of June; we were 15 in total including 1 baby in the provided crib, and we had plenty of room to get away from each other if we needed to! There is so much to talk about, but the three most important features are:

1. The villa is HUGE! Sleeping rooms are spread over the two main floors and the wonderful bedroom in the tower; the terraces wrap around the entire villa on both levels; there are tables and seating areas spread throughout and meal seating 15 can happen virtually anywhere.

2. The views are spectacular! The villa sits above Playa de San Pere with uninterrupted views to the north/northeast across the Bay of Pollenca to the Formentor Peninsula and east along the edge of the bay towards La Victoria. From the very top of the tower you get a 360-degree view. Drinks on the terrace at sunset are mandatory!

3. The location is perfect! Beach access is down 40+ steps right off the terraces; the beach itself is sheltered with a shallow gradient, so safe for children. It is not particularly busy, but has lifeguards and a restaurant/bar with plenty of rocks for snorkeling. All of the essentials are within walking distance: Mal Pas itself is sleepy and calm with the center of town (with 3 restaurants, a dive shop and a small supermarket) around a 15-minute walk away, there are a couple of other restaurants and a pharmacy on the way into town. The bus stop is at the marina with service 3 times per day into and out of Alcudia where you can connect to anywhere on the island. Alcudia itself is walkable (half an hour) and well worth a visit especially on market days.

Those were the big ones, so what else? The villa is beautifully decorated and most of the paintings hanging in the house are by Maria's mother, which only adds to the amazing character of the place. Maria and Jeroni were very accommodating and even went as far as to purchase a brand new barbecue when we expressed concerns with cooking for 15 just using the oven in the kitchen! Maria was very responsive when we had any questions and Jeroni set up one of their windsurf boards for our use.

Sin Embargo for best food in Mal Pas - freshly made and delicious with wonderful staff, unfortunately closes at 5pm.

All in all we had a fabulous trip and have no hesitation in recommending both the island, Mal Pas, the villa and our lovely hosts.

Our family of 13 stayed in this lovely villa for a week. The view is magnificent, the villa feels private but is located next to a public beach, one can walk along the cliffs and sea, and the town nearby has lovely shops and a market. We took our children to see the Roman ruins, cave with stalactites and stalagmites, a water playground in the sea along a large public beach in Can Picafort, and unique restaurants. There is a mountain restaurant about an hour's drive away with delicious food and a spring-fed "pool" for swimming (Es Guix Mallorca). A nearby excellent restaurant is Mirador de la Victoria. The villa has been in the family for a long time and has some original decor and furnishings. There is a patio that wraps around the entire villa with seating areas on all sides. There is an entire area on the lower level that feels like another home. There is definitely space to spread out. We had an amazing cook; her meals featured local food and were superb. We were so pleased that we had her cook for us instead of our going out for dinner. We had enough food left over for lunches.

Because of the steep stairs at the front and back of the villa and the fine furnishings, this villa is suited more for children aged 6 or above. The villa is an excellent setting for a group of couples or for families with older children.

The description of the villa was accurate and the property was clean and well-maintained.

I would definitely recommend this villa to friends and family!

The House was very clean and has very good beds; the view is the best you can find and all our expetations very fully met. We had just a wonderful stay. The direct stairway to the beach is privileged and gives the chance to also get some good Drinks at the beach. Thank you very much to Maria Antonia.

This marvelous, spacious villa is outstanding for bigger families and sommer. Beach life in perfection. Winter time and poor weather periods may become harder. Location: perfect.

Landlord / Organization: very professional and gentle.

We will come back!

Best! Thomas
