About the home

Our holiday home is accessible by lift or staircase, it is well equipped and comfortably accommodates four adults. It is located in a very central, yet quiet, residential area, which is less than a five minute stroll from Palma Novas main beach and promenade, with its many bars, restaurants, pavement cafés and activities for all the family.

Having rented many soulless holiday apartments from others; we decided to try and make our apartment more like a home from home. We like to think we have achieved this, by equipping our home with many of the things we thought had been lacking in those soulless apartments.

For instance we have equipped our lounge with a built in wardrobe, a curtain to close off the corridor and a roller blind to close off the hatch through to the kitchen, all of which allows for easy conversion to a bedroom at night; whilst maintaining the integrity of the lounge by day. This is achieved by simply drawing the curtain and closing blind to create privacy, and utilising the wardrobe; hence avoiding the clutter that usually prevails because those who are using the lounge as a bedroom would otherwise be forced to live out of a suitcase.

WE HAVE ADDED MANY LITTLE TOUCHES TO THE APARTMENT IN OUR ATTEMPT TO CREATE A HOME FROM HOME, SO WE ARE CONFIDENT YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO, SO GO ON, GIVE US A TRY!

The Mallorca/Majorca region

Mallorca is an island of outstanding natural beauty with mountains and inland countryside to explore, idyllic sun-drenched beaches, bustling resorts and quiet villages. The Capital Palma has a wealth of sightseeing opportunities and excellent shopping it is easily reached by public bus taking you to Plaza Espana, which is in the heart of the city.

From Plaza Espana you can get buses and trains to all parts of the island. Why not try a trip on the old style train that rattles its way across the mountains to the old town of Soller. Once you are there it is also worth taking the short journey by tram through the lemon groves and down to the Port. (We recommend that you allow a whole day, should you decide to do this, but we think its worth it).

If you prefer organised tours, there are plenty of agencies along the Palma Nova promenade where you can book all sorts of excursions. Like a day at a water park, crazy golf, a boat trip or even a show at a top night spot! There are many other activities to choose from and we are sure you will be able to find something to suit you! Or maybe you just want to relax by the pool or at the beach, you are on holiday after all.

The Palma Nova area

Palma Nova is in the South West of the island, just twenty minutes drive from Palma airport, it is a a great all round family resort that caters for all ages. Our apartment is situated in a quite residential road, however it is also very central, as Palma Novas main beach and promenade is less than five minutes stroll away.

The nearest beach is very safe for children, there are life guards on duty throughout the summer months, and it offers a good range of water sports, ample beach beds and parasols for hire . There are three other beaches in the area, all of which have similar facilities.

The main seafront promenade has plenty of restaurants, bars and delightful pavement cafes, as well as many activities for children of all ages. Those of you who prefer a "LESS FULL ON NIGHT LIFE" will probably prefer to stay in PALMA NOVA, and spend a relaxing evening, starting with a meal at one of its excellent restaurants, followed by a cocktail or three ;-) in one of the French style pavement cafes, or cosy bars.

However, if you are looking for a "VERY LIVELY NIGHT LIFE", our twin resort of MAGALLUF is probably the place for you. It is approximately fifteen minutes stroll from our apartment, or you can just jump in a taxi (about 4 Euro) and ask for “Lennon’s Pub”, which is right in the middle of the night club and disco area.

Why not have the best of both, starting in PALMA NOVA and moving on to MAGALLUF to bop the night away!!!

Should you be looking for a "GOLFING HOLIDAY" you will find that PALMA NOVA is an excellent choice, as it is within easy reach of many of the islands best courses. The nearest Golf course is less than ten minutes drive away, and there are several other courses within easy reach.

As for getting around there are plenty of taxis available at all hours of the day or night. There are also regular buses into Palma, if you get off at Plaza Espana bus station you can get buses from there to all parts of the island. There are also buses direct from Palma Nova to resorts in the south west of the island, such as Santa Ponsa, Paguera and Andraitx, though those buses are less frequent than those going to Palma.

In our apartment you will find our personally compiled “HELPFUL HINTS” folder, which contains all sorts of ideas about what to do and where to go in Palma Nova / Magalluf as well as various other parts of the island.

“A genuine home from home.....I didn't want to leave!” Every aspect of our holiday was outstanding. We were really impressed by the booking process. The owners were very professional and helpful. They offered us some really useful tips and hints before we traveled. Also, in the apartment they have a really useful book which has excellent tips and advice. One tip we took them up on was a day trip to Soller. We had the most amazing day trip- we would highly recommend visiting Soller, it was just beautiful!! We were really impressed when we arrived at the apartment block. The communal areas were clean, safe and well maintained (I could not wait to get into the pool!). The flat was lovely and it really felt like a home from home. There was even tea and coffee when we arrived which made me feel very welcome! The flat was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The kitchen facilities were much better than I expected them to be, there was everything that we could need and more! (sadly not the norm with self catering!)The fridge freezer was an excellent size which we found really helpful. Also, there is a washing machine which was useful. The bedding smelt very clean and fresh. My favorite feature of the flat was the balcony, we enjoyed eating dinner and having a few drinks on there in the evening. Also, my boyfriend loved the Sky box! The location of the flat is very good. It was very quiet at a night which was great (I am a very light sleeper!) The beach is a 5 min walk from the apartment.The sea was lovely and warm and the sand was very soft. Also, the apartment is close to bus stops allowing for easy travel across the Island. There was a good selection of local restraunts and bars catering to all different tastes and budgets. There was a very nice atmosphere locally and I always felt safe. We really had a lovely time and would stronlgy recommend you to stay! We are defiantly going to return. Response: Thank you for your kind comments, we are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay in our home, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

“a really good holiday - one of the best we have ever had” We visited this apartment in August 2011 for 2 weeks , 2 adults and 2 children ( 12 and 9 yrs old). The pool area was nice , a man cleans and tidies it daily . The apartment is very close to the beach , cafes , bars and restraunts . the beach is just lovely , soft sand , clear water , really clean . good variety of restraunts , cafes and bars - you can eat and drink relatively cheaply - or expensively , careful , some restraunts do not add VAT to their advertised prices , but add it to the bill afterwards . We usually found that soft drinks for the children were more expensive than our alcoholic drinks ! Very easy walks to neighbouring beaches , easy 10-15 mins walk to magaluf . we found the area of palma nova to be low key and easy going, but plenty to do and lots of variety - absolute bliss ! The apartment was smaller than expected and really hot , the overhead fans helped a little , but the temperature in the apartment didn't drop below 30 degrees , even at night .The beds and sofa bed were well worn and somewhat uncomfortable. The kitchen was adequately equipped but we needed to clean what we were going to use beforehand . The balcony was a decent size and overlooks the pool . there was a lilo and other beach equipment for us to use . Brilliant having a safe to use , although security at the site seemed good - grills to windows , so you could have them open without worrying and sturdy locks . Plenty wardrobe / drawer space - and coat hangers . We found the information left in the apartment very useful , the information and customer care from the owners was excellent . We would definitely visit the area again , one of the best holidays we have ever had . Response: Thank you for your comments, and we are very pleased that like many of our previous guests, you had such a fantastic holiday. However, we are very sorry that some things in our home were not quite up to your expectations, and we have instructed our to cleaning company to address your concerns.

COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS GUESTS: -

Well.....what a wonderful week that was! We just wanted to say what a great week we had at your apartment. The complex with the pool and grounds was perfect and stunning. The apartment had everything we needed and more. The kids loved the pool and so did we. Not crowded like I thought it would be (even had the pool to ourselves on a few occasions). The residents and other people staying the complex were friendly and easy going. Perfectly located, right in the centre of Palma Nova so nice to be able to walk in all directions, couldn't ask for more. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to rent your apartment, we just wish we could afford one ourselves as the place was perfect..
CARYS DOWLING (Durham)

Thank you for an excellent service throughout - we had a really good time - and your apartment was more like a home than a holiday stay - with just about everything you might possibly need.
JANE LEWORTHY (Birmingham)

We have just returned from our holiday at your flat in Palma Nova. It was everything you described and the apartment was ideally located. We would have no hesitation in recommending your flat to any of our friends and look forward to our return as soon as possible. Thanks again for the excellent accommodation and for making the whole process so easy for us.

Loved the place, will return!!
KEVIN PEMBERTON (Derbyshire)

I just wanted to thank you on behalf of all my family for a wonderful holiday in Palma Nova. The apartment is superb and met our every need, and we would love to go back next year. The location is fantastic and the apartment block and surrounding area are beautifully maintained. My lads loved the pool and spent most of the time in there. Thanks again, and I will be recommending the apartment to family and friends.
DAVE & CAROLINE ALLEN (Bedfordshire)

We had a lovely stay and would have no trouble recommending the apartment to anybody. Very handy to the beach, mini-golf and some lovely restaurants. Only a ten minute walk to Magalluf, and short bus journeys to both Santa Ponsa and Palma. Thanks again for everything.
