Lovely place in good location

Son Vela is a very nice little house for two people, located well away from the horrors of mass tourism in a very pretty valley at the beginnings of the stunning Tramuntana mountains.
I would unhesitatingly recommend it to couples (young or old, or inbetween) looking for a quiet place, yet conveniently located in the somewhat sleepy, but nice village of s' Arraco. It is close to the sea, close to Andratx where more amenities can be found, and within less than 10 minutes of the main road to Palma. There are also some great walks in the Tramuntana srarting from the village itself.
The house itself is well equipped (nothing fancy, but all you need), comfortable, private and has a lovely terrace with great views. We particularly appreciated the owner's (successful) efforts to decorate and furnish the house in the traditional rural Mallorcan style (partly with antique furniture).
Although the living, dining and sleeping area are all in one room, it never felt cramped as the house is quite big.
The (German) owner, a very nice lady living in the house next door, was always available for tips, advice or just for a chat, but never intrusive.
The place is exactly as it is described on this website and the photos are very realistic. If you like what you see/read there, go for it.
