We stayed here this July/August and were really excited after the reviews and pictures. On arrival it was clear that the property was once a loved family home, sadly however the property no longer feels like it has any care or attention given to it. There are loose paving stones, dodgy cookers just to begin! The electrics are actually a liability and need sorting out! the landing light "fizzes" strongly suggesting loose wiring! the main trip circuit board has a post it note on stating how to reset the electrics in case of power failure. YOU WILL NEED TO LEARN TO USE THIS LOTS! Every time we used more than one appliance (dishwasher and microwave for example) the power cut out! this happened 2-4 times a day on average and was problematic! We went out one day leaving the washing machine and dishwasher on only to arrive back to no power and a warmed fridge! I brought this to teh attention of hte owner who said "Okay. Thanks for letting me know. We will consider it."
Our stay was for two weeks, during this time we on ly had the pool cleaned once (which given the number of local insects and leaves that seemed to love a swim) was not really great as although we happily skim the top with a net, the floor was covered in foliage! The pool itself was cloudy by the end of the two weeks and really needed a bit of care!
After our first week we asked about replacement bedding and towel, something which is a given in villa rental, and we were answered with "Hello, We don't usually change the sheets if the stay is less than 15 days. But no problem, on Monday we will go to put new towels and sheets. What time is the best to leave the house free for a couple of hours? Thank you. " so be mindful if you want fresh bedding and are not there for months you need to ask!
ANTS!! oh my days ANTS! I have never seen so many ants in my life! I have been to villas and indeed owned one historically in Mallorca and understand ants are a a part of life but this place is next level! they were everywhere ! I mean everywhere! deep through the veins of the house, we found them in the underwear drawers in two of the rooms! in the lounge, the bathrooms up and down and outside we were spraying killer every hour or so! this made outdoor eating a nightmare and sadly we seldom did so due to this!
