Happy times at Papalaya!

What a great week at this lovely homely and characterful villa. Really well stocked with everything one needed and beautiful art work that pleased us all. The bikes were a real asset when needing to nip to the local supermarket only a short ride away. Craig is an amazing host! All problems/ queries sorted immediately and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. We did hire a car but believe the buses are brilliant and easily accessible. We all agreed we would love to return!

Majorcan rustic villa

We booked this villa because of location and excellent reviews Craig is indeed a great host and the amenities, especially bikes and many added sundries all added to a lovely holiday. The mosquitoes were unfortunately out in force during our stay ( not Craigs fault) but we felt that the extensive shrubbery around the villa and wet grass from rain and sprinklers didn’t help the situation. We were conscious of bringing dirt in / out of the villa too because of the muddy grass. We tried to solve this by making a door mat! We rarely were able to sit outside to eat which was a shame. . Perhaps a nice patio area could be considered ?? ! In summary, had a lovely holiday and the beach front is a very short bike ride away which was perfect. Thank you

Craig has thought of everything you might need in the villa. He was so helpful.. The villa is well located for supermarkets etc. Close to both Pollensa and Puerto Pollensa. Craig provides lots of information on the area and Island, the Rough guide and Sunflower serirs books are available as well as useful notes.

A comfortable, private haven

From the start Craig is a fantastic and attentive host. After a small glitch (to our relief) trying to enter the wrong villa, we instantly loved La Papalaya with its good size pool, mature garden, well proportioned interior with local art adding a homely feel. It is far enough back from a fairly busy road for there to be minimal traffic noise but, at peak times, the crossing to the cycle path can mean a long wait. The villa is easy cycling distance from the edge of Puerto Pollensa or Pollensa town, that little bit further. Both locations are lovely so the villa is well placed whilst allowing a sense of escape and privacy. We loved our stay on Mallorca and at La Papalaya. Craig has gone out of his way to provide plenty of additional amenities such as bikes, pool toys, table tennis and indoor games, all of which enhance an already lovely place to base for the holiday. We can’t recommend La Papalaya highly enough and thank you, Craig.
