It's a really nice villa, a nice surprise when we arrived was that all the rooms are on one level, so everyone is close by. The view from the huge window overlooking the marina is amazing and the photos in the listing just don't capture how fabulous that is.
The bedrooms all had air-conditioning, available 7pm to 7am, and we asked for that to be changed to 9pm to 9am, which they did for us instantly. (Didn't want to get up early on holiday).
It's walkable to the marina, with the restaurants, not many shops there, but loads of bars etc. You can walk into Cala D'Or in about 15-20 mins, it was very crowded, loads of shops, cafes and restaurants there, but we only went in once as I was using a mobility scooter and we could barely move there were so many people. Lots of fun if you like that though. The smaller area along the beach called Pou, that was more our scene and closer, 5 mins walk in the other direction. They had a night craft market one evening, nice places to eat, a couple of supermarkets, some gifts shops, but quieter and not as frantic. A place called Indiana John's have the BEST food, their tandoori chicken was just the best thing ever, we went back a couple of times to eat there. A bit cheaper than the marina too.
Back to the villa, the kitchen had everything needed, I didn't actually use the stove or oven, but a huge fridge freezer is great, and there was an electric kettle which had plenty of use. Needed to buy water, the tap water is really horrible, even had to brush teeth using bottled water. The lounge was lovely although we didn't use it much, we tended to sit outside on the patio area overlooking the pool and marina. Needed insect repellent at night though, lots of mosquitos.
The pool is lovely and larger than I expected. I hadn't really expected a big set of steps down to the pool, thankfully there was a good sturdy handrail so it was manageable. The pool is a long way from the kitchen if you need a drink, so it's worth taking a couple of teenagers with you so that they can go up and down for stuff.. I would recommend the villa owner get some plastic or melamine plates and glasses though, I didn't like having real glass glasses by the pool, causes a lot of problems if they get broken and glass goes into the pool.
Would definitely go back to the villa. People were lovely and the villa was just what we needed.
