Comfortable villa with privacy and views
The villa sits on a south facing hillside - about 500m along a track off the road. It offers privacy and views over the land below stretching off to the southernmost point of Mallorca and the Cabrera isles beyond. You can see Palma and its cathedral in the distance. It's lovely to watch the sunset from the terrace or pool. There are plenty of tables, chairs and loungers to relax outside. Due to its location a car is essential.
The décor inside is simple and pleasant. Comfortable beds and effective air conditioning (NB this is €10 per day extra).
The kitchen utilities are basic but easy to operate. The Nespresso capsule machine was much appreciated.
There is free unlimited wifi (speeds during our stay were 2 to 3Mbps - just about enough to stream SD quality video). Mobile 4G signal available for all the major networks but poor data speeds on some.
The owner - Tomeu - is a lovely man who could not be more helpful. He gave good advice on local places to visit and was contactable for any questions.
There are several excellent beaches within 30 mins drive. My favourite was Cala Llombards - free parking right next to the beach (if you arrive early enough to get a space) and some natural shade from the cliffs on the southern side. The beach at Colonia de Sant Jordi is also very nice and probably the nearest to reach. Es Trenc beach is closest but getting there can be slow as there's only a single road and it's often very busy.
The town of Campos is 10min drive away and has several good supermarkets - including Hipercentro, Mercadona, Eroski and Aldi.
We enjoyed our stay and would return. My thanks to Tomeu for his kind assistance.
