Happy holidays in Old Town Pollensa
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009
Date of Stay: May 2009
We were just 2 people and took the big master bedroom which was very comfortable. Very big bed, large cupboard including safe ( and different to every hotel room : Enough hangers for our clothes !!) The house looks exactly like on the photos. Nice and clean . Great mixture of old and new details. Pool was too cold for us, but this might change when the sun gets stronger. We loved the brand-new bathrooms with the big showers !
Private atmosphere without any "spectators", breakfast in the patio was wonderful ! The kitchen was well equipped, but a coffee machine is missing .. this is maybe not so important for English tea-loving tourists, but for us Germans :-) But instant coffee from the local supermarket was a good alternative for breakfast. Big supermarket just a few minutes away by car. Found there everything except from Nutella :-)
Very nice and unique area of Old Town Pollensa, just a few minutes walk away from the market place with nice restaurants. Exellent food in every price category ! The streets in old town Pollensa are extremly small, so don't choose the biggest car.. otherwise you will have problems to pass without scratches..or won't find a parking space :-)
Activities: Go to Cape Formentor, take pictures at the first photo stop, the view is much better than from the lighthouse ! Puerto Pollensa beach is nice, white and clean and just a few minutes away to drive. We cannot recommend St. Vincenc Beach, very small, very loud, no white sand, smells like you are lying in a big kitchen.
Shopping : Festival Park outlet center : Clothes from famous brands at reasonable prices. Or visit the small boutiques around the cathedral in Palma .Clothes there are not cheap but UNIQUE !
Owner's Response: Thank you Birgit and Gerhard for the review. To future renters, I have now added a third coffee maker to the house, there is already an expresso maker although it is a little difficult to use and a filter coffee plunger type maker. I have now added one of the coffe makers that you put on the gas ring so there are plenty of options for coffee lovers. The pool does get warmer as the season moves on, although I am considering adding solar heating to extend the swimming season. If anyone wants Nutella it is available in the local supermarket although they put it in a place you wouldn't expect, but I would be more than happy to deliver one to the house for you! Very good point made about hiring a small car, the last thing you want at the end of your holiday is an excess charge from the car hire company. Or make sure there is no excess to pay on the hire car insurance policy.
