We've recently spent our 2 wk holiday at this beautiful property which does not disappoint in any way. The house is an old traditional 3 storey town house and blends into the attractive streets in the heart of the town. Once inside everything is bright, airy and tastefully renovated to an exceptional standard.
There’s everything we needed for a comfortable stay from a well equipped kitchen, outdoor seating area leading to a refreshing plunge pool, sunny 1st floor terrace with dining table seating up to eight & gas bbq for alfresco dining. All four spacious double bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms with large walk in showers. We didn’t use the air con during our stay, which is built in to each room, but I’m sure this becomes a welcome option in the heat of summer. We did make full use of the wifi which worked well throughout the house.
We loved Pollensa. It has a great feel to it and is full of character dominated by impressive blonde stone architecture, with the Tramuntana mountains as an attractive backdrop. It offers a more cultural experience than the touristy beach resorts, it is a friendly and welcoming place, enjoyed by both locals and visitors. The house is on a quiet street but it is only 2 minutes’ walk around the corner to the bustling main square with a host of authentically Mallorcan cafes and restaurants and selection of welcoming bars. We’d recommend trying the tasty tumbet at Onze, a stylist restaurant / wine bar in the main square.
As we were in Mallorca for two weeks we hired a car so could explore other areas on the island which were all less than an hour drive away. We’d recommend day trips to Cap de Formentor, Palma, Soller, Valdemossa, Deia or Arta if you have the time.
We visited the beaches at Porto Pollensa & Cala Sant Vicenc which are about 10 mins drive away as well as Alcudia which is also close by and worth visiting. We found parking easy as there’s plenty of on road parking either on the street in front of the house or nearby, & free of charge. Don’t park on the streets near the square (or in front of the house) on Saturday evening as stalls set up early on Sunday morning for the weekly Sunday market!
The only minor negative of the holiday was the odd hungry mosquito when we’d forgotten to put on repellent!
Overall we had a great holiday & would highly recommend this lovely house in a beautiful part of the Island - we’re already missing our breakfasts on the sunny terrace. We’ll definitely book again!
