Fantastic
Dear Maria Antonia and family,
Thank you for the wonderful time we had in your finca. We enjoyed it very much. The house: everything was available (towels, bed sheets, pool towels, air fans, hair dryer, big fridge, freezer, music in every room), it was clean, nicely furnished, cozy, great covered terrace with lounge set, the outdoor dining chairs need however replacement and should have 8 chairs. And the pots and pans in the kitchen weren't in great condition but did their job.
Our two oldest sons stayed in the bedroom downstairs and felt like kings! A four poster bed, the lamp projected a green house on the wall, dressing, bathroom with jaccuzzi (which was unfortunately broken) and music in the bathroom. They sat in the big bath tub with champagne glasses filled with apple juice!
Great outdoor bbq facility. In the garage there is a pingpong table great for the kids, we held a few table tennis competitions. The pool was very nice and clean and closely situated to the terrace so that you can keep an eye on the kids from the terrace. The pool has roman steps and the first part of the pool is 80cm so our 3 year old could easily stand there, gradually the pool gets deeper to about 1.80m deep. Over the pool there is a roman bridge built, quite a masterpiece how it is built. Very comfortable sun beds at the pool with umbrellas and small tables for drinks. Very nice garden with beautiful flowers (bougainville, oleanders), plants and olive trees. Pool, terrace and garden lights in the evening.
The house is rurally situated, no neighbours (except for sheep with clinging bells and roosters) and some 7 km from the sea. We liked the quiet location. You can reach the house via a dirt road, it is recommended to use GPS coordinates to find the house.
The only thing we missed at the house was air-conditioning.
There were no mosquitos or flies, just some ants.
Nice places to visit: Porto Petro, Cala Figuera, Es Trenc, Coves de Drach in Porto Christo, boat rental in Portocolom. Nearest big supermarkets in Cala Millor (Mercadona and Lidl next to each other). Bakery in Son Carrio, very nice bread.
Thank you for the nice bottle of red wine at our arrival!
I would definitely recommend to stay at this house if you do not mind the quiet and rural location.
Best regards.
