Can Romaguera

If you want an authentic amazing Spanish holiday,this is the place for you.if you want the Instagram photogenic beautiful place,this isn't for you.it doesn't have fancy modern kitchenware and furniture,or a view over looking rolling hills. But it's charming,spacious and comfortable and outdoor area (pool and BBQ) was such a nice space to relax in. Whilst you aren't in one of those remote Mallorcan villas in the hills,I actually think it's good that you aren't.because for this villas, at the end of the street in walking distance is a quintessential spanish square,with cafes,bars,ice cream parlours and a bakery.so we would have a BBQ at home,then walk for a drink in the square at the end of the night - pure bliss. I see in other reviews people have mentioned a noisy road and damp issues-we went in mid September and we didn't have any of those issues. And the host is very attentive.

Nothing.loved it all

We have stayed in this beautiful country town before and loved it so much decided to return, it is very close to Palma and a short drive to the beach and other attractions. The house had been restored keeping many original features, if you are looking for an authentic experience this is the place for you. The host was attentive without being intrusive and had obviously put a lot of effort into bringing this old property back into a state of repair. We arrived to a warm welcome and a bottle of local wine. The owner/host gave us a quick tour of the facilities and left his number should we need anything. Picking fruit from the orange, lemon and sweet fruit trees was a real treat as was being able to cool off in our own little pool. An oasis in what has become a busy little town.

As mentioned it is an old house and seems to have retained a strong musty damp smell, despite leaving all the windows and doors opened and going to the effort of purchasing diffusers it just lingered. Thankfully we were able to make use of the outside space so didn't need to spend to much time inside, if this could be addressed it would most certainly be a bonus. The entrance hall and ground floor living area floor had been left unfinished and unsealed, whilst I can appreciate the charm of this perhaps as a tourist villa a tiled floor or an even polished concrete finish would be appropriate, the rest of the house had original or new tiled floors. The town of Algaida has become a busy little spot since we first visited it quite a few years ago and is currently undergoing some upgrading both roads and buildings are being worked on, from early each morning, as is the normal is warm countries and as such the tranquility we had hoped for was somewhat diminished. The bedrooms at the front of the house were just noisy the room at the back less so, all being well when the work is complete, tranquillity will return.

we really enjoyed our stay here and would go again.
