Great house with plenty of space - parking a problem and a little dangerous with young children and a busy street with cars whizzing past the front door - but all in all FAB!
Fantastic home for a fantastic stay. We loved our time here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing time away. Top tips from us - don’t stress about parking, the roads are very narrow and parking isn’t easy so use the car park on the way in to Pollensa. It’s only a 5 minute walk and is very safe. There is a lovely bakery just 2 minute walk away on the main road in and not far from the chemist. Enjoy!
Charming and lovely townhouse in the old part of Pollenca. Recently refurbished to a very high standard. House is really well equipped. ACs in all the rooms meant it was never too hot even in the August. High walls give a lot of privacy and also make the sun more bearable. Pool was lovely. We quickly got used to parking in the side streets around the house, but it is also possible to park slightly outside the town. We used a car to go Puerto Pollenca to get to the fantastic beaches. Their Internet was good enough for video calls for work Communication with the manager was easy and quick. Would clearly recommend and also go back
Great house in the middle of the old town streets of Pollenca. The house is still very quiet and largely secluded from the neighborhood. The house is in excellent condition and is well equipped with great attention to detail. With a pool and air conditioning, it was always completely comfortable, even in the heat. We felt very comfortable. The location in the old town means that it is sometimes difficult to find parking spaces near the house, but there are enough parking spaces in the area.
Very quick responses every time I wrote. Very helpful in recommending places. Overall nice and friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much.
House full of character, very pleasant and well equipped, perfectly placed in Pollenca. Communication is perfect, simple and effective. This region of the island is very varied: Cap de Formentor, mountains, villages, beaches and coves (Sa Calobra sublime). The period (first week of November) is ideal (swimming, hiking and cycling without heat and with fewer people). Great stay!
Fantastic house in a great location. Great location, lovely house with everything you could need and plenty of space. Communication with the host was good too.
Wunderschöne, liebevoll gestaltete und gemütliche!
Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir werden dieses Objekt auf alle Fälle weiterempfehlen!
Beautiful, lovingly designed and cozy!
We liked it very much and we will definitely recommend this property!
Tolles Haus mitten in den Altstadtgassen von Pollenca. Das Haus liegt trotzdem sehr ruhig und weitestgehend uneinsehbar von der Nachbarschaft. Das Haus befindet sich in einem hervorragenden Zustand und ist toll ausgestattet mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Mit Pool und Klimaanlage war es auch bei großer Hitze jederzeit völlig einspannend. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage in der altstadt bringt es mit sich, dass es manchmal schwierig ist Parkplätze in Nähe des Hauses zu finden, allerdings gibt es im Umkreis genügend Parkplätze.

Plenty of space for a family of 5. Very nice bathrooms/showers and lovely Master bedroom with huge comfortable bed. The single beds were unfortunately not so good. Ok for young children but not adults or my teenagers!
Yes parking is very tricky near the villa, but there were always spaces on the edge of town.
Overall, a great holiday over Easter for an active family. We really enjoyed exploring Northern Majorca. Would definitely return to Pollensa.
A very pleasant stay in a property full of Mediterranean Character close to centre of Pollensa.

The single beds have now been replaced by brand new very comfortable beds at the property (During season 2018).
We are happy to advise the best places to find parking, it can be tricky especially after 18.00 when the locals start to return in their cars. Parking is free which is a bonus as not many holiday towns have this facility offered without charge. Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it.
Beautifully equipped townhouse in Pollensa.
Well equipped, great location, minor queries dealt with quickly. Perfect!
Gorgeous. Loved our stay. Beautiful property, perfectly equipped for a week in Pollença.

Delightful town house
5 of 5
A friend and I have just spent a wonderful week in Pollencao. It is exactly as described - the photos depict it well and all of the details of the property are accurate. We were really pleased to have found the house to be spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Vida Villas answered our emails swiftly and attentively before our arrival and provided us with plenty of helpful details about the house, travel arrangements and local information. Simon also made sure that we had clear instructions for how to get the keys to the house.
The welcome hamper on arrival was a very nice touch and the concept of a rolling stock in the pantry is a really good idea. The restaurants suggested provided excellent food and are just a few minutes' walk from the house. We sampled plenty of paella meals and tapas dishes. Pollenca is largely untouched from the commercial tourism found in other resorts and there really is a feeling of living in traditional 'Old Spain' when staying there. Driving through the narrow streets was a real experience! Puerto Pollenca (the beach!) is only about a 10 minute drive, public transport is good (1 hour bus to Palma) and the mountains, caves, cathedrals, monasteries, churches, towns, beautiful countryside and coastal areas are all readily accessible. Overall, it was a superb holiday in a delightful town house.
Home from Home
The photos and description of this beautifully designed cottage are extremely accurate with very high quality facilities throughout. The property is small, but rooms are spacious due to the clever design and uncluttered feel. Amazingly instant air con throughout! Fantastic location for the town of Pollensa with cafes, restaurants and shops on the door step. Very quickly got to know the locals who were all very welcoming and friendly. We decided against car hire and found the bus service extremely good (and cheap) with beach 10minutes away and Palma just 45. Loads of really good walks and even spent time at the local sports centre, which is not advertised but has excellent facilities.
This is on our list of best holidays ever, and we have already recommended it to our friends.
An ideal location in the heart of the town.
We took a chance on Mallorca, Pollensa in particular, and this property on a last minute whim and we were not disappointed! The property is decorated to a high standard and nicely furnished. The air-con was very welcome when needed. The kitchen is very well equipped and the terrace ideal for sitting out in the shade. The location is fabulous, a few minutes walk to the famous Pollensa steps and the town centre. Just right for a morning stroll to get breakfast in the town square and not too far to walk back after supper! Pollensa town has much to offer, including wonderful market on Sunday. But if it is sand and sea you want, you will not be disappointed - less than a 10 minute drive (or a slightly longer cycle on a dedicated cycle path), you are on the beach. We only scratched the surface of what Pollensa and the surrounding area has to offer and we do hope to return again one day to discover more.
I could go on......but I think anyone reading this will have got the point of this review - book! If you want a town location within a few miles, excellent facilities and a comfortable property to stay in - this is for you!
Wonderful stay in authentic old Mallorcan town
Vida Villas helped us out at extremely short notice when our original accommodation flooded the day before we were due to arrive! Nothing was too much trouble and the booking was speedily completed. Despite the short notice, everything in the house was beautifully prepared and presented in time for our arrival.
Not only is Pollensa a charming old Mallorcan town but it is also blessed with a large number of very good quality restaurants to choose from, situated around the main square and the Calvari steps. Our favourite was Q11 restaurant, but we also enjoyed hopping from restaurant to restaurant trying out the tapas. The “Stay” restaurant at Puerto Pollensa can also be recommended for a special meal seated on the terrace sipping aperitifs as the sun sets over the bay.
Walking in the beautiful mountains nearby helped provide an antidote to the delicious meals. Day trips to Deia and the old walled town of Alcudia gave us a glimpse of other areas of interest. Calle Lleo is tastefully modernised and furnished and ideally situated in the heart of the town. However as a consequence of its location the surrounding streets are extremely narrow and it is advisable to hire a smallish sized car to avoid the risk of damaging it driving around in Pollensa. Nonetheless, I can’t wait to go back to Calle Lleo and explore some more – there was far too much to see in one week.
