House with pool in the center of town. Artá

Loved the courtyard garden and pool. The location was perfect… handy to grocery stores, restaurants and the main centre of town.

We stayed here pre-covid and loved it, but it lacked air con and wifi. Both of those issues are now fixed - aircon in the main bedroom and the lounge, and very fast wifi. Plus there's a new smart TV. Arta is a beautiful, peaceful small town with fabulous restaurants. This is a fabulous property; the garden is an oasis of tranquility and the recent upgrades make it perfect. We'd recommend getting a car, but be aware you need to park in the car park by the old train station otherwise you'll get a ticket (I'm still trying to work out how to pay mine, it's a nightmare). There's a wonderful small supermarket just on the corner, or you can do a big shop in Manacor. Cala Agulla is about 10 mins drive away and is the most beautiful beach in the world. Any issues, Isabel is always there on WhatsApp.

We stayed in Isabel’s property pre covid and we’re so pleased to be able to return again this year. Contact, arrival procedure and access to the property were all clear and simple. The property was even better than last time where there have been a number of upgrades. The property is well maintained and the ‘secret garden’ is beautiful and a wonderful place to spend sunny days and warm evenings. The town centre of Arta is a five minute stroll with its fine selection of shops and restaurants and a choice of beaches are a short drive away. We hope to return again soon.

This is a beautiful house in a wonderful location. However, when searching for a property I had aircon and wifi set as filters. Both of these were listed on the advert but when we arrived at the house it had neither. Apart from that (a fairly big issue in a July heatwave to be fair), the house is amazing. Highlights for us: - The garden is like paradise and so peaceful, pool is fabulous and really deep! Take insect repellent though because there's bitey things. - Kitchen was great and really well equipped. Loads of spices, oil, vinegar etc etc. It was lovely to be able to properly cook in the evening and have dinner in the garden. - Great location. Just a few minutes to village centre and there's a pretty decent mini-supermarket about 50m away. - 20 minute drive at most to Cala Agullar which is one of the nicest beaches I've ever seen. - Showers were great, very powerful and lots of hot water. - No problems communicating with Isabel. She was away when we were there but responded very quickly to our queries. - Arta is a wonderful place to stay with lovely shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay at Isabel's house, and if it had aircon in the bedrooms I would go back in a heartbeat.
