Fantastic holiday

We have returned from Puerto Pollensa and had an absolutely brilliant time.
The villa is absolutely stunning, and is in a prime location. It takes about 2 minutes to walk from the villa to the famous Pine Walk, from where you are only a gentle (but extremely pleasant) stroll along the sea front to all the restaurants and bistros that Puerto Pollensa has to offer. It is also well secluded on a small avenue behind the beach, but because it is slightly elevated offers magnificent views over the bay, so perfect for watching sunsets/sipping wine on the balcony etc. The best of all worlds really.
The villa is extremely well decorated, with most of the bedrooms being ensuite and tastefully furnished. It is extremely clean and has obviously been well looked after. The large lounge and dining area are great for family/group gatherings and parties which can spill out onto the vast balcony. The villa has really good outdoor furniture and we found ourselves out on the terrace each evening. The kitchen has 2 huge fridge/freezers, and has everything else that you would need, so if you can stay away from the restaurants then cooking at home is no chore!
The swimming pool is the real centre piece of the villa and a fabulous place to relax after a hard day on the beach and the large downstairs terrace where it is situated has a barbecue which is a must.
Puerto Pollensa is great for all age groups, from 1 to 81 on account of the sheltered bay and extremely pleasant surroundings and scenery. The only group who probably would not like it are young party animals as the nightlife is (luckily for us) for a more sedate crowd.
Puerto Pollensa has much to offer, but if you wish to venture further afield, we enjoyed days out in Soller (seaside town) (45 mins drive), Pollensa (market town with charming square and the biggest flight of stairs you have ever seen!) (5 mins drive) and Formentor (secluded beach) (10 mins drive away). You can also walk straight from the villa to the north coast of the island on a marked trail which leads to the rocky coastline and is a pleasant but marked contrast to the pristine sand beach of the south side. There is also some excellent walking throughout the island, not least on the nearby Cap de Formentor.
