Mallorcan house above Palma with great sea views

What a gorgeous place! We came for a few nights with our kids (aged 2 and 5). The view is absolutely incredible, the apartment is really thoughtfully decorated and very homely. Our kids loved the “mountain” rock in the bathroom for climbing! Great location too, as long as you have a car there are fabulous beaches and villages to explore all within a 10-15 minute drive and Palma is very close too. Genova itself is very pretty! Marieta greeted us when we arrived and was very responsive when we sent questions throughout our stay. A couple of tips - the apartment is built into the hillside on a pretty steep hill with lots of steps, it was fine for us but might be tricky for anyone with mobility issues. We had to keep a close eye on our 2 year old with all the steps so any families with younger kids might not find this as suitable. Also to note - the apartment has fans but no air conditioning so it was pretty warm during our visit in early August! But not a huge issue if you get the fans going. Highly recommend this place, thanks for a wonderful stay.

Genova as a village was so serene and peaceful. The views from this finca are truly breathtaking and we got to palma and the beaches easily with taxis and Ubers but also ate at two of the local restaurants which had amazing food and great value for money. Hosts were highly communicative and helpful during our stay and they provided everything we needed like robes, towels and a good hairdryer. We will definitely be back! One flag is that this property is on a hill with many stairs, so not ideal for anyone with mobility issues.

The view was great and the facility was clean and neat. My wife and I are 75 years old so the steep location was somewhat challenging. Also the bedroom was on the 3rd floor and the bathroom was on the 2nd floor which at 1st was inconvenient but we got used to it. All in all, we very much enjoyed our stay and toured much of Mallorca by car.

We stayed in Axel's place for a week and found it convenient for Palma and the local areas. The house was well stocked with bed linen,electrical goods and supplying beach towels was a nice touch.Parking was on the quiet street outside so again convenient. We had a few issues - see below:- Although the check-in was easy enough with keys etc it would have been better if Antonella had met with us face to face to help explain a few things. The hot water in the smaller bathroom took an age to come through so we just used the larger one and the righthand roller blind in the top bedroom wouldnt stay down. Apart from the above we enjoyed our stay.
