Beautiful “remote” farmhouse
This a gorgeous property-down a bumpy track ( slightly washed away by floods in part and thru two sheep gates). Only 15 mins by car from Alcudia and 25 mins from Pollença and Port de Pollenca- both lovely towns to visit. Tues market in Alcudia “old town” great fun - do haggle though! House is big enough for two families to be together but also to have own space. There is air-con in 3 upstairs bedrooms- but use sparingly as the house is totally off grid and powered by solar. We had very hot weather at 38 degrees so was uncomfortable sleeping without air-con downstairs at night despite using electric fans. The pool although not huge is fabulous- good shade and perfect temperature. Lots of mosquitoes and ants so TAKE SPRAY as they all bite between 6.30-9.30pm. Also buy citronella candles from supermarket in Sa Pobla. The seating area by the BBQ is particularly bad so eat on the other terrace which has a breeze and a great canopy where the views across the marsh are stunning. There is a dishwasher/ washing machine and all things necessary in the kitchen. The TV didn’t work as no signal but could play radio channels. - we went to Alcúdia beach. Beautiful busy/ shallow water. But nicest was Cala Vicenç - easy parking at both. Artà is a great town to visit and coast at Cala Ratjada beyond is stunning and good swimming off rocks for teenagers. We went for 10 nights which was a perfect amount to explore the island. The Wednesday market at Sineu also a pretty drive and place to shop.
