Exactly What We Wanted!
Review Submitted: August 25, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
I booked this holiday with a little trepidation, having never visited Mallorca before and being aware of the reputation of some of the larger resorts. But I needn't have worried - this proved to be the perfect family holiday. The villa is in a quiet area but within easy reach of local amenities and places of interest and the owners are extremely friendly and helpful.
The villa is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. The kitchen, though small, was equiped with everything I needed to cook for a family of 5. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and the pool area even better than it looks on the photo. This house has just the right balance of traditional charm and mod cons in my opinion.
We could probably have happily spent the entire week by the pool, but we managed to drag the children away to see some of the island! Nearby St Elm has a very nice beach and a good choice of family friendly bar/restaurants. Port Andratx is quite upmarket with eateries ranging from the average to the very swish - a nice place to stroll around in the evening.There's also a well stocked supermarket there where we did all our shopping. We also visited the mountain areas which was most enjoyable, though the roads are not for the faint hearted.Palma is an easy drive and well worth a visit too.
If you are looking for a peaceful location in which to unwind, or a base from which to tour the west of Mallorca, then C'an Pujola is perfect. We wanted somewhere far from the madding crowds but not too isolated either and this villa fitted the bill exactly.
We have a "rule" in our family, that since the world is so big, and we have seen so little of it, we never go back to the same place for a holiday, but I suspect we might have to break that rule having discovered this little gem!
