About this villa rental

La Papalaya is a beautiful and conveniently situated villa that mixes both modern and traditional. One of few rental villas located in the countryside which is walking distance (1 mile) into the centre of the beach town of Puerto Pollensa, accessible along a wide and level foot/cycle path all the way into town. From the villa it's also a brief cycle ride to Pollensa old town (bikes are included at the villa). The property has two large sheltered terraces, a private swimming pool with roman steps and the option of pool fencing (at no extra cost), and a barbecue area, all enclosed within a walled, mature, evergreen garden. Both bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms. The villa features air conditioning, WIFI (recently upgraded to 600MB), UK & German terrestrial TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime, movies and sports subscriptions, 6 bicycles for all family ages, bike lights and helmets, a new PS5 with games, children's swim jackets and pool inflatables, table tennis, a house tablet (within which we've added lots of local recommendations for places to eat, things to do etc.), a stocked Nespresso machine, Lego and board games, books and DVDs.

The house is owned by myself and my wife, Maria Bennassar, who is the granddaughter of the late, local painter, Dionis Bennassar. We also run the museum in Pollensa old town which is dedicated to him, and worth a visit.

Please email us if you have any queries. We live in Pollensa, and are always available should you need us.

We have had the most wonderful stay at this gorgeous villa. Craig our host has been amazing at communicating, from sending us a video of how to get into the house (we arrived after 1am) to leaving us water, coffee pods, Pizza and Kombucha for our arrival. The villa - rustic with the most beautiful artwork adorning the walls. Ample storage in the kitchen and bedrooms. Instruction manual and a fully stocked laundry room with everything you could possibly need (dishwasher detergent, mosquito plug ins, pool toys, washing machine, washing powder etc...the list goes on!) Kitchen - oils, herbs, spices, coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper. Freezer with ice cube trays. Working hob, cooker and microwave, Bluetooth speaker. Two fridges - one in outdoor BBQ area which is perfect for extra wine, water and beer! Living room - Smart TV with all the channels, multiple books (god send as I forgot my kindle!) /, ps5 (we didn't use it) and board games...comfy sofas, fan and patio leading out to outdoor seating area and table tennis table. Dining area - leading to utility room and double access to the pool, perfect to spend the evening having dinner, drinks and playing games. Outside space - beautifully kept gardens surround the villa with a lockable external door by the driveway. Bikes so you can make the most a majorcas cycle friendly roads.Bedrooms - both ensuite, plenty of duvets, air conditioning, with beds and pillows that are so comfy - we slept so well here. 100% recommend

This is a brilliant property, cared for and managed by an exceptional host. You will see from the previous reviews that Craig is incredibly resourceful and helpful... We fully support those reviews. We had a few non-house related issues with flight delays and later a flat tire and Craig was supportive and very helpful with both… he had a mechanic with us within 30 mins to fix the tire which was very kind and a great relief. The house itself is perfect, it has everything you may need and more… and the beds are incredibly comfortable. If I were to nip pick, I wouldn’t say it is easily walkable to Puerto, it was so very hot when we were there and there is no shade on the first 15 minute stretch so not for the faint hearted and it is about 30 minute walk. That said the buses are great and easy and a bus stop only a short walk away from the house. We felt the photos didn’t do the garden justice, it is beautifully well kept and completely closed so you are fully in your own pretty space. We had a great stay and we were in safe hands with Craig. Thank you for a wonderful stay and all your help

Just back from a 2 week stay in this wonderful villa. It truly is a home away from home and far exceeded any expectations we had. Excellent pool, clean and well stocked with everything you need. Air con in bedrooms is perfect and the beds are so comfy! Craig is a fantastic host and is on hand should you need anything. There are bus stops just a few mins walk from the villa (with a bus turning up every 15/20 mins) so a car isn’t essential but I would recommend getting one if you can as does make it easier for larger shopping trips or if you have children etc and also as there can be a bit of a wait for taxis at busy times. Located just outside the main resort but not so far out that you are isolated, with shops and supermarkets just a 10 min stroll away and only a 5 min bus/taxi ride from the resort centre. Wouldn’t hesitate to book this villa again!

We had a wonderful stay in La Papalaya! The house is cute, cozy and very well equipped, with a lovely green and private outdoor area that’s perfect for relaxing. The pool gets a bit messy due to the surrounding trees and every now and then a few bugs get lost in the house, but that’s understandable when being in a beautiful natural setting. The accommodation also comes with a stray cat that is very friendly. The location of the house is fantastic: peaceful and undisturbed, but not isolated. Pollença is full of charm, with a historic old town, a local market and great restaurants. The surrounding areas have excellent access to beaches, coves, the port, and the mountains. Shops are just a short drive or bike ride away. Bikes are provided, which is a lovely extra. The wifi is not great, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, since there are lots of other great things to do, anyways. The check-in was super easy and convenient. The best way to find the house is using the coordinates on Maps – after that, it’s easy to reach. Communication with Craig and Ben was always quick and very friendly. We had an amazing time and would come back in a heartbeat! :)
