Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the villa was fabulous, with a “home from home” feel about it. Despite being only a 15 minute drive from the airport, we never heard any planes overhead during our stay. We were very surprised at how comfortable the beds were & had it not been for the unexpected heat wave (about 34°in the day) that meant the rooms were 26° at night, we would have probably slept very well. Consequently, the massive pool was a “must” to cool down & was used at every opportunity. Despite having neighbours, the villa was very peaceful & felt totally private, with nobody overlooking the garden. The owner, Axel, was unbelievably helpful in the lead up to & during our holiday & was happy to answer all the questions we had.
The local supermarket had a large selection of everyday items but we chose to do our bigger shops at Lidl, 15 minutes away in Mahon, as it was well stocked & fairly cheap in comparison.
Places worth a visit were Son Bou, Mahon, Binibequer Vell & Ciutadella but Cala en Porter itself has a beautiful beach & a variety of great places to eat (El Pulpo does a very good paella).
We had a lovely fortnight in this villa & would definitely recommend it.
