8/10
Having visited Mallorca several times, Cala d'Or is one of our favourite places. We enjoy the large variety of shops, cafes, restaurants and small sandy beaches.Our impression of Villa Esmerelda:PROS.Good quiet location with walking distance to most local amenities.Good communication with owner (Maria). We had a few teething issues on arrival which Maria attended promptly.Very nice rear patio and pool area.Effective air-conditioning in all 3 bedrooms.Good water pressure and plenty of hot water.Good strong wifi.3rd bedroom on first floor is accessed by external staircase. Almost a separate apartment with two wc's & showers, though not fully equipped for separate living (good for privacy if that feature appeals).CONS.Kitchen utensils, cups, plates, glasses etc. Adequate for 3 adults but not extensive.Traditional style villa with overall impression of being slightly 'tired' with minimum maintenance.Small TV in Lounge had no English channels.Driveway parking is under a large tree which means pine needles and bird droppings.Overall we enjoyed our 10 days with no major complaints.
