In desperate need of internal modernisation. Desperate.Pool needs a thorough clean found a rat in the pool on last day which wasnât niceWindows need a clean at least occasionally
The outdoor space was lovely and the road wasnât much of an issue for us. There were some issues highlighted with the oven, kettle and wine glasses that Cosme rectified quickly. Unfortunately the outdoor sofas had mouldy seat cushions so we couldnât use them, and there was an issue with one of the windows where there was an insect infestation dropping dirt/bits into the curtain above a bed which was not acceptable. In addition, there was a strong sulfur smell from the toilets throughout our stay which was unpleasant, and a bit worrying with a small infant. As we were mainly outside, we still enjoyed our stay, however feel that these issues need rectifying before others stay at the property. Cosme informed us we needed to let him know during our stay as issues arose, however thatâs not ideal when multiple issues arise while trying to enjoy your holiday! We did ask to arrive early to drop off our bags, however made it clear that we would vacate the property after this until the check in time to allow for cleaning etc. so this shouldnât have been an issue.We have tried contacting Cosme about the issues following our stay but have not yet had a response.
We enjoyed our stay at the villa! The garden and pool are great and the house has everything you need. The bedrooms are air conditioned. Just important to be aware that the house is on a main road which is quite noisy and the house, particularly the bathrooms, are quite dated.
The villa is in need of updating though we were aware of that from other reviews and assume it was why the villa is such good value for the area (the location is very good). However, when we arrived the villa was really dirty. Floors were filthy and bathrooms and surfaces had not been cleaned between guests. I contacted the owner who came round and was very apologetic and nice. He contacted the cleaning company who came the next day but they were very reluctant to do anything and I really had to argue that the villa should be cleaned properly.
Mein Partner und ich haben mit unserem 11Monate alten Sohn knappe vier Wochen in der Finca von Cosme gewohnt. In dieser Zeit haben uns neben den GroĂeltern auch eine Familie mit zwei Kindern (1 und 6 Jahre alt) besucht. Wir sowie alle anderen haben sich super wohl gefĂŒhlt und hatten eine schöne Zeit. Die Finca ist typisch spanisch eingerichtet und etwas Ă€lter. Es war alles absolut sauber und gepflegt. Die Betten waren sehr bequem! Der Pool und die gesamte Anlage sind sehr gepflegt. Die Lage ist absolut ideal wenn man zu FuĂ in den Ort, Strand oder einkaufen möchte. Dass das zwangslĂ€ufig bedeutet, dass man mitten im Geschehen ist und daher den StraĂenverkehr hört, war uns bewusst und hat absolut nicht gestört! Probleme mit Ameisen oder anderen Ungeziefern hatten wir nicht, man muss sich natĂŒrlich immer um seinen MĂŒll und Essensreste kĂŒmmern - selbstverstĂ€ndlich in warmen Regionen.
Cosme hat auf Nachrichten immer umgehend geantwortet. Wir haben einen weiteren Hochstuhl sowie ein Babybett gebraucht, eine 2.Kaffeemaschine, mussten fĂŒr unsere Freunde einen Kinderwagen mieten, brauchten einen Shuttleservice und hatten noch ein paar weitere Anfragen - Cosme hat sich immer umgehend und super lieb um alle Anliegen gekĂŒmmert. So einen Service hat bisher keiner von uns erlebt!!!
Danke an Cosme fĂŒr die schöne Zeit, wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und können die Finca nur jedem ans Herz legen.
The house is conveniently located although On a busy road, access to the beach, supermarkets etc is very easy and only a short walk. The house is very dated, poorly fitted out and needs modernising, definitely overpriced and the description is not an accurate reflection of the property ! I would not stay here again
Our problems started at check-in. The google maps link does bring you very close to the property but there is no number on the gate and it is closed and rusty so the property appears almost derelict and is therefore hard to find. When we entered the property it hadn't been cleaned since the previous guests - it was filthy. After a couple of hours I eventually got hold of Cosme. He was very apologetic and arranged a hotel room for the night (9pm by the time we got to check-in). We have 18mth old twins & a 3 yr old so this was not ideal. The hotel room was nice but was only meant for a couple so not ideal. I also checked the room rate and it was less than we paid for the property per night. Two days later, we woke to heavy rain with leaking windows in the kitchen and an ant infestation (literally thousands of them). I swept up as many as I could initially. I contacted Cosme and to be fair to him, he got someone around quickly to clean them up and lay down ant repellent but again this is not very safe or practical with 3 toddlers. Cosme also informed me that it was normal in Malloraca to have ants after rain. However, my view is that if the house was properly sealed then rain or ants would not be able to enter. The other small issues with the property were:
1. Microwave didn't work
2. Extractor fan didn't work
3. Shower head upstairs was broken
4. No bath mat so it wasn't very safe for kids having a bath.
We didn't even bother reporting these last issues to Cosme as we were just a bit sick and tired of the property and wanted to enjoy our holiday as much as possible without having to constantly be in touch with the landlord. Overall the property looks much nicer in the photos - it appears much brighter than it actually is. The location is quite convenient but as other reviewers have mentioned, it is close to a busy road so the traffic noise is loud and constant. All things considered, the place is OK but it is not worth the quoted price.
Our host was very welcoming and the villa was easy to find, good location for puerto pollensa town and beach. Everything with in a 15min walk. Pool was a good size. The house is roomy, and comfortable, but a little tired . We spent most of our days around the pool . Great holiday
We had a very good stay.
Everything was as expected and although the villa was on a main road (which we were entirely aware of), it didnât really bother us.
Cosme was very helpful and responsive to all our needs and requests. There were a few tiny issues, but he rectified them immediately. As soon as we had been in contact, he would react and resolve. We had a very pleasurable stay at this villa for 10 days. I would recommend this villa and would even come again.
We wanted a place away from the beach front but within walking distance of local amenities (we didn't have a car) and this place couldn't have been better. The property is on the main road but secluded and private and was perfect for our young son to run around in the garden. The house is pretty basic in terms of decor but exactly as pictured so that's certainly not a criticism.
The one thing which really marked out this place was the fantastic barbecue and annexed dining area, which is one of the best I've ever seen in a holiday rental. I'd highly recommend going to the Eroski nearby and talking to the lovely and knowledgable staff at the meat and fish counter. We got a joint of matured vaja vieja and did it on the grill and it's a meal I'll not forget.
Cosme was very helpful and organized our airport transfer with a very reliable taxi driver. He was unintrusive and easy-going throughout our stay.
I'd definitely recommend this property to families with young children who want a bit of privacy in reach of the beach.
Mooie tuin met voldoende plekken om zo wel in de zon als uit de zon te zitten. Huis beschikt over 6 fijne relaxstoelen. Mooi en goed onderhouden zwembad maar eind april nog erg koud.
Huis is prima en goed ingericht. Bedden en matrassen waren nieuw. Slaapkamers beschikten over airco maar niet nodig gehad. Ruime en nette badkamer boven. Douche/wc beneden een beetje klein maar prima douchen!
Keuken is goed en volledig ingericht. Eigenaar is een vriendelijke en behulpzame man.
Huis staat op een paar minuten lopen van een grote supermarkt. Naar het strand is het wat verder lopen maar ook prima te doen. Auto is lastig te parkeren bij het strand. Dus is lopen een goede en gezonde optie. In de omgeving van Pollenca is voldoende te doen en te beleven. Het huren van een auto is wel een must.
Schönes GrundstĂŒck, Ferienhaus ist in die Jahre gekommen
Pool und GrundstĂŒck sind sehr schön. Das Haus ist keine Luxusklasse, aber der schöne Garten tröstet darĂŒber hinweg. Was uns allerdings nicht bewusst war: das GrundstĂŒck liegt an einer sehr befahrenen HauptstraĂe. Im Haus hört man den VerkehrslĂ€rm nicht, aber im Garten hat man quasi ein permanentes HintergrundgerĂ€usch.
Haus ist in die Jahre gekommen aber alles funktioniert. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten sollten Mal erneuert werden um einen Anreiz fĂŒr einen zweiten Besuch zu verstĂ€rken. Aber Cosme war immer sofort da und hat auch jedes Mal die Probleme schnell gelöst.
Also im groben und ganzen.
Alles okay.
Lovely pool & garden BUT unless youâre planning on sleeping and eating in garden - steer clear!!
Ok I never leave reviews and have never felt the need to give a bad review as I always believe that this is someoneâs livelihood so I donât take this likely but I wished someone had left an honest review of this property as we worked very hard all year to afford this property and holiday and we were left very disappointed with the state of this property and the service/communication from the supposed owner.
Where to start ....ok so the property is outdated but itâs run down and with the rental income they make surely they could update it and fixâs the obvious big problems. Ok so the big issues we had were we had no WiFi for 12 days despite reporting this to the supposed owner whom once we handed over the money/ rental balance funnily enough wasnât particularly interested in contacting us or replying to our messages đ€
So no air con downstairs (vitually needed) the upstairs air con on timers! Suspected bedbugs on sofa (they have cleaners but the ones that donât clean cobwebs, dust, windows or funnily enough wash any of the furnishings) cracked floor tiles so need to watch out for little ones feet, also not to mention a collapsing work service supporting the stove đ taped up or loose plug sockets and ones that seemingly look fine but just donât work altogether. Broken flush on upstairs toilet, leaky shower which is a cosy home for the ants that currently reside there. A lovely creak and dip in the floor in the main bedroom caused by a lovely hole in the floor boards - patched up with filler no doubt and covered with a nice rug. On a serious note take care of the main bedroom ceiling fan as itâs dangerously loose. I could go on but I think this is enough and gives you an honest review of the property. For what you pay to rent the property you deserve and 100% can get a better property with a pool. You may think why give it 2 stars instead of 1 star but the 2 stars is for the garden alone.
I have been to Porta Pollensa many times but this was the best holiday i have had there, and it was down to this fabulous house, the location for us was great right next to the supermarket and I nice stroll into the beach. Cosme the owner could not do enough for us, the garden is so peaceful and well kept, I have already booked to come back in June. Alison from Glasgow
Wie hatten zwei tolle Wochen in Port de Pollenca.
Die Lage vom Haus ist gut, man erreicht alles schnell. Supermarkt, Bushaltestellen und die Stadt sind keine 5 Minuten entfernt. Zum Hafen und zum Strand lĂ€uft man etwa 10 Minuten. Ein Auto braucht man nicht unbedingt, kann man aber tageweise gut und gĂŒnstig mieten.
Der Garten des Haus ist wirklich sehr groĂ und gut gepflegt, der Pool ist wunderbar und wĂŒrde auch oft genutzt von uns. Die StraĂe hött man zwar zeitweise, aber es stört wirklich nicht und der Garten ist auch nicht einsehbar. Den Grill haben wir oft und gerne genutzt.
Das Haus ist sehr groĂ, die Klimaanlagen in den Schlafzimmern funktionieren gut und effizient. Die Ausstattung und die EinrichtungsgegenstĂ€nde sind spanisch und etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Manches sollte wirklich erneuert werden. Die Betten waren aber gut und auch sonst fehlte es an nichts. WLAN, KĂŒchengerĂ€te, SpĂŒlmaschinen und Waschmaschine, alles vorhanden.
Cosme ist wirklich sehr freundlich und hilft bei Fragen und Problemen sehr schnell. Vielen Dank dafĂŒr!
Our second stay, if anything it was better than last year. A lovely very large private outside space, with a good sized well maintained pool, where we spent most of our time . We could play music , grandchildren could be noisy without upsetting anyone as there are no adjoining neighbours.Ideal location with large supermarket 2 mins & beach 5-10 mins,.A big thank you to Cosme for being so helpful.
This house presented us with a problem.
The location is absolutely spot on.
The gardens are stunning as is the whole outside area including the pool.
Cosme was helpful with any issues.
But the inside of the House is very, very basic and dour.
Now some would say its Spanish style and that's your own fault, and they would be right.
But its dated and old fashioned, small, and doesn't have all mod cons (air conditioning only upstairs and not very effective).
Also a bit annoyed when we arrived really late and there was not so much as a bottle of water in the fridge (most places leave a small welcome pack with coffee, milk etc to get you started).
Having said these things, it wasn't the most expensive house we have ever paid for so, did we get what we paid for? Probably.
Modernised and charged accordingly would I stay again?
Yes.
Perfect house for a family. Lovely secluded garden with pool, lawn, outside cooking and eating areas
Ideally situated for easy access to Porto Pollenca, this is a great little house for a family break. The adjacent road could've been an issue but the garden is filled with mature plantings and totally secluded. The pool is fab and there's plenty of shade for when it gets too hot. A separate annex room with dining table and large patio doors was useful. Would've benefited from basic stuff like cleaning cloths, bin bags etc but a minor quibble and I guess we were the very first guests this season. The barbecue was great and we used it every day: loved the bicycle cog system of raising/lowering the grill!
As a naturalist, the garden was great for attracting wildlife - daily sightings of eagles, bee-eaters and various interesting bird species plus several butterfly species too. There is a small nature reserve five minutes away at La Gola.
There's a supermarket just down the road and the site is within a ten minute stroll of the shops, bars and restaurants of Porto Pollenca.
Overall a very convenient and comfortable stay in a lovely bit of the island.
