Great villa in a quiet location close to Alcudia Old Town
We stayed in Can Pau Villa for 1 week. The villa was clean and comfortable and had most of the basics for our holiday.
The villa is positioned in a quiet location, almost at the end of a little lane, not too far from Alcudia Old Town and the local beach which we used - Sant Joan. We used the car to get to the Old Town and the beach, both of which were 5 mins in the car, although you could walk, we guess this would be 20-30 min walk. The beach is used more by locals and therefore tended to be quieter than the main Alcudia beach, although it is a small beach.
There is a market in the Old Town on Sunday's and Tuesday's which is worth a visit, with a good mixture of souvenirs, leather goods, clothes, bakery stall, fruit and veg stalls. Plenty of places to eat in the Old Town as well and a large free car park next to the Roman ruins.
We took a boat trip from near by Pollensa on a 12 person Rib to see the mystical Blue Cave and stopped for a swim in a cove only accessible by boat - the water was clear and good for snorkelling. We saw lots of urchins and fish. The coast line around the area is beautiful.
The air conditioning in the bedrooms of the villa was great and it was furnished with everything that you would need. The only thing we felt would have improved the villa experience would be to provide basic non food items such as kitchen roll, kitchen foil/cling film, spare toilet paper rolls or if previous renters have left these items, for them not to be removed on cleaning so that the next renters can use them. We had to go and buy these items even though we were only staying 1 week.
Other than that, the villa was great surrounded by lovely gardens, pool lovely, fresh eggs daily from the chickens if you like, and subject to the time of year lemons and oranges growing in the garden too. We would recommend the villa and location. You could manage without a car but having one made life easier.
Thanks for a lovely villa which made for a short relaxing break for us.
