Has potential to be dreamy...
This villa has the potential to be dreamy however the building it pretty neglected. We spent Christmas here and faced broken heating the entire time, no hot water on Christmas Day and water pump constantly flicking the fuse switch so losing water frequently. The bathrooms are outdated and new toilets arent fixed down. Plaster on the walls crumbles off, random hole in kitchen counter top, temperamental light in main en suite, strong smell of damp in the downstairs bedrooms, etc.Fortunately we only faced ants as our insect invasion - the property is in a nature reserve with a stream behind it so we think we were lucky not dealing with mosquitos. But the ants did become a bit tiresome. All of this said, the space inside and outside was perfect for us to have a big family Christmas. The pool looks very inviting, obviously too cold in December. Lots of footballs, volleyball, table tennis paddles and balls which we enjoyed. The BBQ was fab on Christmas Eve. The location is a really short drive from beautiful beaches in Pollensa which have play parks for children too. Communication before arrival was good and Frank the house manager/owner was really responsive and came out everyday to try and fix the heating. For us, the quality of the building didnt quite match the description of a "dream" finca because it didnt meet the expectations we had from these photos/listing. It has potential to easily be dreamy again if its given a good update/refit and some love.
