This is my pool and the view from my villa in Mallorca. I wish I could stay here and have this view forever. Without a doubt it is one of my favorites that I have had on my travels.
For a week we have been able to enjoy this beautiful view and a 4 bedroom 4.5 bath villa just on the outskirts of town, booked through mallorca-summer.com. Costing 650 euro for the week during October (slow season) it is a reasonably priced accommodation. Now if only this gorgeous pool was heated…
For this trip I chose not to rent a car and instead used the frequent bus system that runs around the island to get to our villa. The 45minute drive from Palma, the capital city of the island to Pollensa was less than 6 euro which is a great deal. Since I did not book a car hire I also purposely looked for a property located close to town so that I could easily walk to the grocery store and restaurants. Conveniently where we stayed was also only a 10 euro taxi ride to the nearest beach town which is Port De Pollensa.
There were some great conveniences with this villa that are worth noting. When we arrived the keys were waiting for us in a lock box that we had previously been given the code for. This was great because then we could arrive whenever we wanted and didn’t have anyone waiting around for our arrival. Half way through the week there was also a lady who showed up and exchanged all of our towels, even the kitchen towels, for clean ones, as well as a gentleman who showed up to give the pool a clean.
This property also came with great wifi until half way through the week when the 4 of us on 8 devices might have eaten up all of the data. Ooops. However surprisingly the rental company was quick to arrive (when requested) with a back up my wifi not once but twice. Which was GREATLY appreciated.
The location also could not have been better. We were just on the edge of the town so that our villa had a large property and was somewhat private, yet it only took us 10 minutes to walk into the middle of town, which was great. Also being such a small town it gave us the feeling of being safe and so it didn’t bother us much walking down the streets at night to get home from a late night of tapas and wine.
I would love to visit Mallorca again sometime and explore more of the island.
