Macarena's House

Great location, right in the centre of the village.

The bathroom could do with an upgrade.

Such a great location, quiet but central and next to the running trails. We loved the small quiet balcony. Host was very attentive.

Maybe the price was a bit higher than other places in Mallorca

This is a lovely house and is nicely furnished and clean. The kitchen is fully equipped and there were basics such as rice, salt and pepper left for us. There isn't much of a view from the roof terrace but it's still pleasant to sit out there in the sun. We were surprised to find that the house had central heating, but as we couldn't turn this up or down (or off) we found we still needed to light a fire at night (our visit was in February and it got cold at night). The shower was nice and hot. As a bonus there was complementary organic shampoo, body wash and conditioner which was nice. The owner met us on arrival and was friendly. We were here to climb and this house was central to the crags we wanted to visit. I also understand there are lots of walk in the area, although we couldn't see where these were and instead drove elsewhere for longer walks. The village is quaint and gets quite busy at times. There are lots of tourist shops and plenty of places to get coffee or eat lunch. We found in February that there was hardly anywhere to eat out in the evening though. The local shop is a 5 minute walk from the house. It stocks the basics but don't expect lots of variety.

We weren't aware of a 2.20€ tourist tax (per person, per night) until right before the trip; this needs to be paid in cash on arrival to the owner. The 2€ a day for the parking ticket (which we did know about) also needs to be paid in cash, so be aware of this. The car park is about a 5 minute walk downhill from the house. This wasn't a problem for us but is something to be aware of. The house is up some steep banks so wouldn't be suitable for those who aren't too great on their feet. We enjoyed our stay and just have a couple of minor gripes; 1. We were asked to take our rubbish to be disposed of at the end of the stay somewhere which was a 10 minute walk from the house. As the cost of cleaning was within what we paid I didn't expect we'd have to do this. 2. We were also asked to replace any firewood we used. Again, this is something I'd expect to be complementary. It does get cold at night, so some extra blankets would be nice too. 3. The lighting in the bedrooms is very dim. 4. The beds/pillows and sofa weren't very comfortable. The sofa doesn't have any arms on it, so nothing to lean on unless you're in the corner. Not a concern for us, but the local church bells ring on the hour all through the night; if you're a very light sleeper this could disturb you.
